It's time for our annual EO/ESOP Podcast Summer School series. We've selected some of our favorite episodes over the past year for your enjoyment over the summer break.

In this episode, Bret Keisling shared EO A-ha Moments from five previous podcast guests who, besides sharing a passion for employee ownership, all presented or moderated at the 2024 Employee Ownership Ideas Forum, sponsored by the Aspen Institute and the Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing, that was held in Washington DC on April 9-10, 2024. If you missed it, you can still catch selected video from the Forum on their website.

In this EO A-ha moment compilation you'll hear from Maureen Conway (Aspen Institute), Adria Scharf (Rutgers Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership and Profit Sharing), Corey Rosen (the National Center for Employee Ownership), Evan Edwards (Project Equity), and Jenny Levy (Hypertherm).

ESOP Summer School 40: EO A-ha Moments Volume VII.

According to HBR, 90% of business leaders champion data as a key element to an organization’s success. But, many leaders don’t take the same approach with people analytics. Jared Pope, Co-Founder and CEO of Work Shield, shares how people analytics can help leaders improve company culture, identify and address pain points in the workplace, and boost employee engagement.

Inclusive Leadership with Sile Walsh

In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Inside Personal Growth, Greg welcomes Robert Richman — cultural strategist, keynote speaker, and author of The Culture Blueprint: A Guide to Building the High-Performance Workplace.

Robert takes listeners behind the scenes of what made Zappos one of the most admired company cultures in the world, including insights from working closely with the legendary Tony Hsieh. He explains how culture is not taught but co-created, why the best leaders don’t have all the answers, and what it really takes to build an environment where people thrive.

From emotional intelligence and personal responsibility to panic attacks, playfulness, analog habits, and the psychology behind real change, this conversation blends personal development, leadership, and practical cultural design in a way only Robert can deliver.

If you’re a leader, team member, entrepreneur, or anyone wanting to reshape your personal or workplace culture, this is an episode filled with clarity, humanity, and breakthrough insights.

🔥 What Listeners Will Learn
1. The Core Ingredients of a High-Performance Culture
How Zappos created an environment of happiness, ownership, and exceptional service — and why culture must start with recruiting and onboarding.

2. Why Emotional Work Begins With You
The hidden trap leaders fall into: trying to “fix culture” instead of fixing the internal feelings they avoid in their own lives.

3. The Power of Questions Over Answers
The questions Tony Hsieh and top leaders use to unlock creativity, innovation, and truth inside teams.

4. How to Handle Panic, Stress, and Overwhelm
Robert’s raw personal story of panic attacks, what he did to overcome them, and why facing feelings instead of resisting them creates freedom.

5. The Disruption Formula
How to predict the future by noticing frustrations with no solutions — and why removing what seems essential creates breakthrough innovation.

6. Analog vs. Digital Living
Why board games, movement, nature, and unplugging build deeper creativity, connection, and humanity in an AI-saturated world.

7. Micro-Decisions That Rebuild Confidence
Why clarity is an emotion, not information — and how simple choices (like choosing lunch) can retrain certainty and direction in your life.
