Description

In this spontaneous post-workout episode of The E1B2 Collective Podcast, AJ dives deep into a powerful insight inspired by Jason Fried of Basecamp. Too many companies rely on executives to drive innovation and take risks — but the reality is, those at the top are often too far removed from the day-to-day to create real, rapid change.

AJ explores why empowering individual contributors to take calculated micro-risks is the key to sustainable growth, innovation, and long-term success. With guardrails in place, frontline employees can become the engine of new ideas, customer impact, and consistent revenue growth — helping organizations scale from $10M to $150M without losing their soul or agility.

Whether you're a CEO, a manager, or an individual contributor, this episode challenges you to rethink who in your organization truly has the power to innovate — and how to unleash them.
