Jonathan B. Smith, known as JBS, was one of Gino Wickman's first clients. He met Gino at an EO event before EOS® even had a name, and that early bet turned into an Inc. 500 business and a career as an EOS® implementer with more than 1,500 sessions. JBS also spent a decade training with Chris Voss, the former lead FBI hostage negotiator behind Never Split the Difference , and co-wrote Fight Le...

Jay Tankersley spent 18 months trying to self-implement EOS before admitting it wasn't working. Six months with a professional implementer outpaced everything he had done on his own, and the experience launched a decade as an EOS implementer and the founder of Meritage, a private investment fund built specifically for companies running on EOS. In this conversation with Christine Watts and Kri...

Jamie Munoz spent four years as a full-time integrator at a large format printing company in Phoenix, helping grow the team from 60 to 100 people on EOS. When her visionary decided to become an EOS implementer, Jamie found herself at a crossroads and started doing fractional integrator work before the term even existed. That led her to founding Catalyst Integrators, a firm that matches experienced...

Amy Morin grew a construction company from $0 to $40 million and exited it after 22 years. Then she bought and turned around a fly fishing resort in Montana, exited that one too, went to graduate school, and became an EOS implementer. By every outside measure she had done it right. And yet, she will tell you she got the most important part wrong. In this conversation with Christine Watts and Kris...

After 13 years as an EOS implementer and nearly 950 sessions, Jim Wardlaw picked up David Hawkins' book on the map of consciousness and found a framework that reframed everything he thought he knew about leadership teams. Hawkins places courage at the midpoint of human emotional states, calling it the line between negative and positive. Jim started seeing that line everywhere in his work: the...

Jared Stein's career path reads like a choose-your-own-adventure: five CrossFit gyms in New York, a stint at the NBA, teaching spin at Flywheel, and running operations at a wellness resort. Now he is the COO and integrator at Strategy Financial Group, a wealth management firm helping retirees protect their families and their legacy. In this conversation with Christine Watts and Kris Snyder, J...

Kevin Stoller built Kay-Twelve into a 16-year school furniture business, but the real turning point came when he sat alone in a conference room, filled out an accountability chart, and realized every single seat had his name in it. In this conversation with Christine Watts and Kris Snyder, Kevin talks about what it took to let go, why finding the right integrator is a journey (not a one-time hire)...

T.J. Gliha and his partners acquired a wealth management firm that served professional golfers and grew it from $250 million in assets under management to over $1.4 billion in four years, going from 4 employees to 26. But the moment that changed everything for Journey Wealth was not a number. It was a client sitting across from T.J., freshly off his third private equity exit, with more money than...

Mark Abbott is the founder and CEO of Ninety, the platform powering this podcast. He was EOS Implementer number 33 back when there were only a handful of coaches in the community. He has spent decades obsessing over vision, culture, and what it takes to build companies that last. So when he looked around his own company last year and realized the culture had drifted, it hit hard. In this episode,...

Kevin von Keyserling built a consulting company called Certified Security Solutions and transformed it into Keyfactor, a multi-billion dollar cybersecurity unicorn. Then he walked away from his operating role, got recruited by a local VC firm, and decided to do it all over again with a healthcare supply chain startup called ReadySet Surgical. But this time, things did not go as planned. In this co...

Mike Minard bootstrapped Delta Media Group into a SaaS company serving 40,000 active users in residential real estate. After two decades of building it, he stepped away. Not because the business was struggling, but because he was burnt out. What followed was a two-year stretch where the company more than doubled in revenue, but lost its way on product, support, and culture. When Mike sat in a quar...

Kevin Woeste left a career in financial trading to buy into his wife's family business, a third-generation land surveying company in Ohio called McSteen. He spent the first four and a half years trying to do everything himself: field work, drafting, managing. He hated it.
