Exclusivity Almost Killed Our Culture — Jensen Jones

Jensen Jones, CEO of Home Care CEO, opens up about the surprising mindset shift that reshaped his entire business model from an “exclusive” high-revenue think tank to a values-driven, mission-aligned community. In this candid conversation, Jensen and host David Knack explore how aligning personal values with business decisions can radically improve culture, retention, and growth. Jensen reflects on how his father's illness helped define his core values and how he now helps agencies scale without losing their humanity. He reveals the dangers of over-customizing roles, why playbooks prevent burnout, and why culture, not revenue, is the most accurate measure of success. In this episode, you’ll discover: 1. How exclusivity undermined his mission and what he did to fix it. 2. The “playbook” system that makes tribal knowledge scalable. 3. Why caregivers should be your biggest fans (and how to make it happen). 4. How defining roles instead of people avoids disaster. 5. Why agencies growing on paper might actually be stuck. Lesson Takeaways: 1. Define your culture first and then align everything else. 2. Exclusivity creates silos; accessibility builds connection. 3. You can’t scale around unicorns. Build roles, not people. 4. Retention isn’t just a strategy. It’s a reflection of values lived daily. 5. Revenue without culture is just noise. Growth starts from within.
