What happens when an ESOP company implements EOS?

In this episode of ESOP Radio, Trevor Gilmore and Ben Spadt sit down with Dave Jaeger, CEO of Legacy Utility, and Craig Hettrich, EOS Implementer at The Hetrick Group, to explore how ownership structure and operating discipline work together.

Legacy Utility is a growing underground utility contractor that paired employee ownership with EOS to align leadership, improve accountability, and build long-term value.

In this episode:

• What EOS actually is — and why it matters
• How EOS complements an ESOP structure
• Aligning people, performance, and equity
• Leadership accountability in an employee-owned company
• Ownership mindset vs. entitlement mindset
• Real operational improvements (including measurable cost savings)
• Why ESOPs need structure to fully unlock culture

An ESOP creates ownership. EOS creates alignment. Together, they create execution.
