Our guest, Walt Brown, believes that, like a waterwheel, a good organizational operating system captures the source of an organization’s energy and direction, and then focuses that energy to power the organization.

Walt is very familiar with launching businesses – in fact, he is seven for seven – woo hoo!

During the last decade, Walt has helped transform the culture of more than 150 organizations across the country as an Implementer of the Entrepreneurial Operating System®. This process helps you, the business owner get everyone in the organization 100% on the same page with where you’re going, and how you plan to get there.

Walt shares:

* his entrepreneurship origin story - he comes from generations of entrepreneurs!
* how to navigate a business's first 3 years using the Entrepreneurial Operating System
* how to create the best culture for your business
* best practices for hiring the right talent for your business - especially when you can't pay market rate salaries
* a deep understanding of how to manage fear
* terrific business model advice for service providers
* his two books: The Patient Organization and Death of the Org Chart, Rise of the Organizational Graph
