Suggest questionThis week, Gene Marks gives Loren Feldman a preview of what Microsoft is cooking up with a product called Copilot that Gene expects to be released before the end of year and that he promises will “rock your world.” Like ChatGPT, Copilot will access data on the internet but it will also be incorporated into all of Microsoft’s existing products so that it will also be able to access data in, say, your customer relations management software.

Jim Kalb of Triad Components Group in San Diego and Jeff Taylor of Crafts Technology in Chicago have both implemented ESOPs. Jay Goltz of the Goltz Group in Chicago has reached his 60s without a succession plan, and he’s considering his options. In this 21 Hats Conversation, you get to listen in on a street-smart discussion of the pluses and minuses of ESOPs from the business owner’s point of view.
