The Crews Who Built It Should Own It.

Construction ESOPs are one of the least understood exit strategies in the industry, and one of the best fitting. If you are a contractor exploring succession planning, a CFO weighing exit options, or a construction leader trying to understand how an employee stock ownership plan would actually work in a bonded, project-based business, this is where you will find answers. Real operators, real results, no theory.

The Podcast Where Construction Meets Employee Ownership

Real conversations with the construction leaders building legacy, wealth, and culture through ESOPs.

Built to Own

Chuck Mazzanti, CRIS

SVP of Business Insurance at Christensen Group

I've spent over 15 years working with construction companies on their toughest risk and insurance challenges. As SVP at Christensen Group, a 100% employee-owned insurance brokerage, I don't just study ESOPs. I live inside one every day.

That perspective is what drives this podcast. I've watched employee ownership change companies from the inside out.  Better safety records, lower turnover, stronger balance sheets, and retirement accounts that change lives. I started the Construction ESOP Collective because the construction industry deserves a dedicated space to hear these stories and learn from the leaders who are making it happen.

My goal is simple: interview leaders from  employee-owned construction companies. If you run an ESOP-owned contractor or you're thinking about becoming one, I want to hear your story.
