He explains why investing in people—not just products—is the true driver of innovation, growth, and long-term business success. The discussion also explores his belief that workers deserve a meaningful share of the value they help create, and how aligning incentives can unlock extraordinary performance across an organization.Beyond business, Frank offers his candid perspective on economic democracy, government regulation, the challenges facing small businesses, and why he believes meaningful societal change begins with a "revolution of the mind."
