What is EOS?

Watch this video to find out!

Running a family business comes with unique challenges and opportunities, from aligning your team and managing growth to ensuring long-term success for future generations. In this engaging panel discussion, facilitated by Laura McDowell, Certified EOS Implementer, you’ll hear real stories from local family-owned businesses, all of whom are using the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to address these challenges.


Our panel features four businesses at different stages of their journey with implementing a structured approach to growth: one that has fully integrated the process into their operations, one actively working through the implementation, and one just beginning to explore how it can benefit their business. They’ll share their experiences, challenges, and successes in creating clarity, fostering accountability, and building a stronger future for their businesses.


What You’ll Gain:

  • Real-world insights into overcoming common family business challenges like communication breakdowns, succession planning, and scaling operations.
  • Actionable strategies you can take back to your business to foster alignment, accountability, and growth.
  • Inspiration and encouragement from relatable stories of local business leaders navigating similar obstacles.
  • A chance to connect with and learn from your peers in the family business community.


This isn’t just a theory session—it’s a chance to hear what’s working for others and discover practical steps to move your own business forward.
