Car Wash Advisory Podcast S2E6: Interview with CSG Partners Managing Director Richard Harmon

In this episode of the Car Wash Advisory Podcast, host Harry Caruso sits down with Richard Harmon of CSG Partners to unpack the world of Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs), a powerful yet often misunderstood path for business owners. Richard explains how ESOPs let owners gain liquidity and diversification, reward employees with meaningful retirement benefits, and even create tax-free companies, all while preserving legacy and governance. From the history behind ESOPs to real-world comparisons with private equity sales, this conversation offers entrepreneurs and operators a clear, practical guide to when and why ESOPs make sense.
