In this episode of Power of the Network, guest host Marla Sparks sits down with Jake Jonnes, Executive VP of Operations at Polywater. What begins as a fun origin story, from wetsuit lubricant mishaps to a global cable lubricant empire, evolves into a deep dive into Polywater’s innovation culture, ESOP ownership model, and field-driven product development strategy.

Jake shares how a small family-run company in a Stillwater, MN basement became a trusted name in the utility and telecommunications sectors. From launching their new cable jacket repair solution to expanding global operations, Jake opens up about what drives Polywater’s success and why reps and customers alike keep coming back.
