Building Bridges, Not Just Businesses Ft. Jarrod and Wayne (CONVO)

In this episode of Max Value, Convo Communications co-founders Jared Mussano and Wayne Betts Jr. unpack what it truly means to build a mission-driven company without sacrificing scale, sustainability, or profitability. From bootstrapping for 16 years to operating across five countries and 16 time zones, they reveal how deaf-led innovation disrupted a billion-dollar industry by centering the end user instead of the balance sheet. This is not a story about accessibility—it’s a masterclass in ownership, product integrity, cultural leadership, and long-term vision. For founders and operators, it’s a powerful case study in protecting mission while scaling globally, designing for real human behavior, and building systems that create both impact and enterprise value.
