Your feed feels personal for a reason, and it’s not magic. Jason Miller and Makenzie Wirth explore the idea that the “algorithm” isn’t a villain with a secret agenda, but rather an objective system shaped by subjective inputs—with attention as the input it values most. They share real snapshots from their own algorithms and consider what those patterns might reveal about curiosity, problem-solving, preparation, anxiety and the human need to reduce uncertainty.
The conversation then connects these ideas to business owners, founders and leaders considering exit planning, ESOP planning and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). For owners exploring the advantages of an ESOP, the episode offers a thoughtful perspective on how attention shapes intention, habits, leadership and decision-making. It also highlights how ESOP advisory and professional ESOP advisory services can help owners approach major ownership transition decisions with greater clarity.
The takeaway: Your algorithm is a dashboard, not a destiny.
