CEO David Solomon joined Jackson Carpenter on the Branded podcast to share the story of how Lightspeed evolved from a classroom audio company into a part model for culture, trust, and transformative leadership. During the conversation, David opened up about guiding Lightspeed through the pandemic, his decision to take a pay cut when he first joined Lightspeed, and how the transition to 100% employee ownership fundamentally reshaped everything, from team morale to overall performance. For anyone curious about what it really takes to build a company where people genuinely want to stay and thrive, David’s insights offer a masterclass in leadership without ego. It’s a great story on why Lightspeed is something special, not just in terms of the products, but in how we treat and empower the people who make it all possible.
