In this episode of Building Loved Businesses, I had the opportunity to sit down with David Dietz, CEO of Preference Employment Solutions. We explored the company’s remarkable journey from its beginnings as a family business to becoming an employee-owned organization through an ESOP.

David shared powerful insights on what it takes to build a culture of ownership, the critical role of human connection in business, and how to approach diversification and growth with intention. We also talked about the importance of taking calculated risks and how technology should be used to enhance—not replace—human interaction in the workplace.

This conversation is packed with wisdom for anyone looking to lead with heart and build a business where people truly matter.
