Hey UN•THERAPIST,

We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…

Should influence and impact equal equity?

We had a conversation centered around Mr. Walter Johnson, also known as "Mr. Tendernism," and what stood out about him wasn’t just the content; it was the connection we felt to him through our phone screens, the virality, and the way people showed up to the restaurant because of him.

But here’s the twist 👇🏾

He didn’t own the restaurant. So now the question becomes…

📌 If an employee becomes a driving force behind your business growth, bringing attention, customers, and revenue, should that translate into ownership?

From the outside, it feels like a quick “yes," But from the inside, it’s not that simple.

📌 If you give equity to one, do you owe it to all?
📌 Where’s the line?
📌 Who decides when influence becomes ownership?

And on the flip side, as a creative, is that a conversation you should have up front? Or is virality too unpredictable to plan for?

Because here’s the real tension: when someone contributes in a major way, do you let them grow with you or risk losing them altogether?

If people came for him and he’s gone, what happens to the business?

Was it worth holding onto everything to potentially lose what helped you grow?

Or was the company right in protecting what they built?

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE influence vs ownership, creative value vs compensation, and whether impact should ever translate into equity.

Hey UN•THERAPIST,

We need your help UN•THERAPIZING something…

Let’s start simple: If someone brings you a grilled cheese, what kind of cheese do you think is in there?

Sounds small, but it showed us something big: the same question, different expectations. Everybody hears the same thing, but sees it differently.

Now, take that into real life: we talked about self-worth, and here’s the truth: it’s not that people lack value; they lack vision. You can be everything you’re supposed to be, but if you don’t see it, nobody can convince you.

And then we got to the core: If you tell someone “don’t go down that road”… and they go anyway… what’s your responsibility after that?

📌 Do you help them?
📌 Do you step back?
📌 Do you love them without rescuing them?

Because at some point, we have to ask: Is helping still helping, or is it enabling?

And if you already warned them, are you still responsible for what happens next?

Join us for another session of UN•THERAPY as we UN•THERAPIZE perspective vs expectation, self-worth vs self-vision, and the responsibility we carry… even after we’ve giving out preventative warning.
