Not Just a Number: A Labor Day Tribute to EVers

Empowered Owners is back. To open Season 5 on Labor Day, we handed the entire episode over to the people who do the work — no host, no questions, just the incredible employee owners from all five EV companies in their own words. Craftsmanship that holds up whether anyone will ever see it. Pensions that rarely exist anymore, and what ESOP shares mean instead. A shop floor that never had to be told to work overtime. Years spent as "just a number" somewhere else. And Travis Adams of Benoure with the last word: "We fall on hard times, they've got our back. They fall on hard times, we've got their back. It's a big family."

Happy Labor Day to every EVer, and to workers everywhere. Season 5 starts now, with new episodes every other Tuesday.
