Jason’s drive and determination can be seen in all facets of his business; his influence shines through his staff. Employee retention is extremely high at FormulaFolios – several key members having had been with the company from the beginning. Only a small handful of members have left FormulaFolios voluntarily; all for personal reasons for those who have.

Jason works hard to ensure his staff is happy with their work. His open-minded attitude combined with a hyper-focused work style sets a prime example that resonates with his team. Although working primarily off-site from his corporate headquarters, the company has seen tremendous growth thanks to the precedent he has set, not in a micro-managed workforce. He trusts his staff and in turn they trust in his leadership. He believes in an open work culture where ideas are shared freely and valued equally.

Most recently he started the Doing Good initiative at FormulaFolios. This initiative calls for FormulaFolios to become better – ethically, socially, and financially. By the end of the year the company will become Wagemark Certified – setting a company-wide minimum wage and reducing salaries of the top earners where necessary. They’re also working hard to become a Certified B Corp, join 1% For the Planet, and establish a culture of volunteerism; allowing up to 2% of all paid work hours to be donated to a local cause of the employee’s choosing.

At the crux of his company is the idea that there’s a smarter way to do things. He believes strongly in a calculated approach focused on long-term stability and holistic health, both in life and business. In an industry often dominated by the bottom line, Jason has managed to grow his company with a focus on offering clients, business partners, and his staff down-to-earth, personalized attention.
