Jessica Markowitz - On Culture and Values - Ep.139

<p>I&#39;m very excited to share that starting today Think Like An Owner will now be publishing episodes twice per week. This change coincides with our decision to close the Operators Handbook and move those topic-specific conversations to the podcast for Thursday morning episodes. You can expect these episodes to focus on topics like sales, culture, hiring, debt, capital allocation, leadership, board meetings, and dozens of other topics. This is an addition I&#39;ve wanted to make for a long time, and I finally feel like the podcast is ready to go to this next level towards our endless pursuit of better in small business.</p><p>The second episode also means we have more availability to partner with great companies serving operators and investors through podcast sponsorships. If you&#39;re interested, please send me an email at alex@jointheoperator.com or connect with me on Twitter or our website alexbridgeman.com. I&#39;d love to chat.</p><p>Jessica Markowitz, President and COO at Paragon Legal, kicks off our new topic-specific episodes. Paragon offers outsourced legal services to corporate legal departments, which Jessica and her partner Trista Angele acquired in 2018. Our conversation covers all things culture, including defining culture, maintaining and enforcing culture, and how to build a culture in a remote-first company. Enjoy.</p><p>Listen weekly and follow the show on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/think-like-an-owner/id1445929750" rel="nofollow">Apple Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/3Fbv9d4HpDwuO4MOPvgdvO?si=bfa67fb76c654755" rel="nofollow">Spotify</a>, <a href="https://podcasts.google.com/feed/aHR0cHM6Ly9mZWVkcy5yZWRjaXJjbGUuY29tLzI1ODM4YjdlLTdlZTgtNGZjMC05ZjU0LTViNjJkZDNmZTBjNg" rel="nofollow">Google Podcasts</a>, <a href="https://www.stitcher.com/show/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Stitcher</a>, <a href="https://www.breaker.audio/think-like-an-owner" rel="nofollow">Breaker</a>, and <a href="https://tunein.com/podcasts/Business--Economics-Podcasts/Think-Like-
