The Crews Who Built It Should Own It.
The Construction ESOP Collective is a podcast and community built for one purpose: connecting the construction leaders who are proving that employee ownership works. Every episode features candid, unscripted conversations with owners, CFOs, and operators at ESOP-owned construction companies across the country.
If you're a contractor exploring succession planning, a CFO weighing exit strategies, or a construction leader curious about how an Employee Stock Ownership Plan could transform your company. This is where you'll find the answers that matter. Not theory. Not textbook definitions. Real operators sharing real results.
From reducing turnover and boosting jobsite performance to creating generational wealth for the crews doing the work. These are the stories you won't hear anywhere else.

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.
