In this episode of The Mark Haney Show, I sit down with Maggie Bender-Johnson, the third-generation President and CEO of Bender Insurance Solutions—a company that’s not only 87 years strong, but 100% employee-owned and female-led at the executive level.
Maggie shares the remarkable story of how her family built and sustained a legacy business, how she transitioned BIS into an ESOP, and why she’s now aiming for $50 million in revenue by the company's 100th anniversary. We cover everything from navigating leadership in a family business, to using AI tools like ChatGPT to drive efficiency, to the future of insurance in California.
If you’re a business leader, entrepreneur, or just love stories of bold leadership, this episode is packed with practical wisdom, big goals, and heart. Don’t miss Maggie’s take on what it means to lead with purpose—and how to build something that lasts beyond your tenure.
🎧 Topics Covered:
The power of employee ownership
Lessons in leadership and succession
The evolving insurance landscape
How culture, technology, and growth intersect
This one’s a masterclass in modern leadership, legacy, and doing business with heart.
