What does it take to build a business where every employee thinks and acts like an owner? 

In this episode I’m joined by Jarred Rubin, CEO and Partner at Blackwattle Investment Partners—a new-generation Australian investment firm doing things very differently. Jarred shares how they built their business from a blank sheet of paper, designing a structure where alignment, accountability, and equity are embedded in every decision. 

We explore: 

• Why every Blackwattle team member is also an equity owner 
• How their hiring process filters for humility, drive, and curiosity 
• The role of strong governance—even in a flat structure 
• How to design incentives that truly drive the right behaviours 
• The challenges of scaling culture and how to overcome them 
• Practical advice for founders who want to create more ownership in their teams (even in other industries) 

This episode is packed with honest reflections and actionable tips on creating a culture that not only performs but lasts. 

Tune in now to hear how you can apply these lessons in your own business.
