    Can treating people with dignity improve a company’s bottom line? On Entrepreneurship 101, Daniel Lucas welcomes Todd Krause, TEDx speaker, CPA, and founder of Silversun Consulting, to discuss the connection between workplace culture, operational performance, and sustainable business growth.

The episode also looks at leadership through the lens of burnout and business transition. Todd reflects on moving from institutional finance into hands-on entrepreneurship and shares practical questions owners can use to assess their culture, operations, and next stage of growth.
