This is Episode 9, and on the surface, the topic is about a visitor management system company called "The Receptionist" - and how the company has evolved from pre-COVID, thru COVID to the other side.

In this interview, I chatted with Andy Alsop, CEO of The Receptionist, on the rollercoaster of providing a solution used to greet and track people checking in at the front desk, at a time when nobody was in-person at all.

Throughout the evolution of the company, Andy's also been pursuing what he calls "Employee Supremacy" a nice twist on exactly which "shareholder" is the most important, and what that explicitly means.

For decades, companies have operated under a model of Shareholder Supremacy, where leadership decisions are driven solely by what’s best for shareholders. Andy argues that when a company's leadership decides what’s best for employees before anything else, all of the company’s stakeholders will benefit.

Fun fact: Both Andy and I are classic muscle car enthusiasts - he's a Camaro fan, and I'm a Mustang fan. But we won't let those differences get between us!  😉
