Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system's successes and challenges. I'm your host, Ryan Hogan.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode, I sit down with Mike Abercrombie, a certified EOS Implementor and Community Leader, to explore how having a people first mindset can completely transform a businesses culture. Mike pulls from his personal experience, as a co-founder and CEO of a multi million dollar company, of all the actions he did wrong before finding EOS, and how finding it has changed everything for him. He also shares about the impact peer groups have had on him, why they’re so important, and why prioritizing personal well being is essential for your businesses success.
