What does it mean to be a strategic owner? How might it matter if something is owned in the public market or, by a founder or family? What about the time horizon, and what does it mean to say you are invested for the long term? Beyond a single business’ success, do the patterns of ownership of businesses across the country make a difference in the ways these businesses run, whether mom-and-pop shops or multi-national corporations? These hidden patterns of ownership are an invisible current with implications on the products we buy, the companies we work at, and the communities we live in. This podcast, “The Owner’s Box” is about telling that story.

S3: E1: Weathering the Storm: Small Businesses Need a Village

Today's guest, Dilawar Syed, is a perfect person to kick off this season. I met Dilawar last year while working with the Brookings Institution, focusing on the issue of aging business owners. At the time, Dilawar was Deputy Administrator of the Small Business Administration.

His background is extensive, including his role as President of Freshworks, a company that serves small businesses. This spring, we collaborated on a piece for The Conversation and Fast Company about how tariff uncertainty can paralyze small business operators. As you can imagine, Dilawar has a lot of insight to share on this and other topics here on The Owner's Box.
