Are you a business owner looking to retire or transition soon and unsure who will buy your business? Are you an employee who worries that your wages aren't enough to build generational wealth? The Worker Co. podcast tells stories of the transforming power of employee ownership. Our goal is to shed light on the process and benefits of becoming employee owned, because we believe employee ownership is a powerful tool to stabilize businesses, lift people out of poverty, and create wealth for workers.
