Stop Losing Your Best Employees | Lance Garvin, Find Mojo
Featuring Lance Garvin, Find Mojo (Utah).
Lance Garvin is the founder of Find Mojo, an employee motivation and engagement platform built around the Mojo motivators assessment. Find Mojo helps founders, operators, and leaders move beyond personality labels like DISC and MBTI to understand what actually drives each individual on their team — then manage, coach, and design career paths around those drivers. Lance's work serves small and growing businesses that want enterprise-grade engagement insight without enterprise overhead, helping them retain top performers, reduce burnout, and build cultures where the right people stay excited about the work.
Filmed at Bad Bet Productions, Sandy, Utah.
Episode Summary
The best employees don't leave because they can't do the job — they leave because the work stops engaging them. In this Utah Business Spotlight conversation, Peter Anthony sits down with Lance Garvin of Find Mojo to expose the tension that quietly drains top performers and the assessment built to surface it early.
The Mojo motivators assessment reframes employee engagement away from personality labels (DISC, MBTI, and the rest) and toward what actually drives performance for each individual. Built for founders and operators, the Find Mojo employee experience framework adjusts how leaders manage to the individual so people stay excited instead of burning out.
Lance and Peter dig into why old assessments miss the point, why money is rarely the real driver, how aspirational conversations and relationships keep top people in the seat, and why 'manage to the one' is now a strategic moat — not a soft skill. They also cover what AI can and can't do for people management, why small teams finally have access to enterprise-grade motivation data, and how identity shapes growth at the company level.
If you're tired of losing your best employees and want a practical framework for engagement, retention, and leadership development, this episode delivers it.
Utah Business Spotlight is hosted by Peter Anthony and produced by our studio, with INCubator Marketing Agency.
