## Resource

What if we’ve been measuring businesses completely wrong? For decades, success has been defined by one simple equation: profit. Revenue minus costs. And in that equation, people have always been treated as a cost to minimise. But what happens when companies become more valuable by hiring fewer people, paying less, and replacing humans with AI? In this episode, we challenge the traditional model of business valuation and introduce a new way of thinking—one where employees are not expenses, but value creators. We explore powerful new ideas like: Why employee salaries should be seen as an economic impact, not a cost How money flowing through people strengthens entire economies The hidden problem with extreme CEO-to-employee pay gaps Why AI could break the current system if we don’t rethink incentives And how businesses can be measured not just by profit… but by their true contribution to society This isn’t just about fairness—it’s about building stronger, more sustainable businesses for the future. Because the real question is no longer: “How much profit does a company make?” It’s: “How much value does it create?” 🔥 Useful Links: 📘 Become a Person of Value by J.S.
