What happens when a business puts people first without losing sight of profitability and accountability?

On this episode of MOJO: The Meaning of Life and Business, Jennifer R. Glass welcomes Ed DeAngelis, founder and CEO of EDA Contractors, to explore his philosophy of "Humanity as a Strategy".

Drawing on more than 25 years of experience in the construction industry, Ed shares how his approach to leadership evolved from simply surviving as a business owner to building a people-first culture.

Jennifer and Ed discuss the importance of emotional intelligence, developing stronger relationships with employees, handling workplace conflict, and creating an environment where people feel valued.

They also explore some of the harder questions facing business leaders. How do you maintain accountability while leading with kindness? What happens when economic conditions force layoffs? And can businesses help bring people together in an increasingly divided society?

Ed also shares his personal definition of success and why he believes meaningful relationships matter more than financial accomplishments alone.
