Breaking the Ceiling with EOS Implementation: Insights from Rick Benton

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

Let’s jump in!

Today, we’re pleased to welcome Rick Benton, a Professional EOS Implementer who brings with him 29 years of experience as a founder who scaled and sold his successful event management and production company. Join us as we discuss the challenges of implementing the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), breaking the growth glass ceiling, and a founder's emotional journey of selling their company.

We explore the importance of trusting and delegating tasks to build a strong team, finding the right integrator, and revolutionizing existing systems to break growth limitations. With insights from Rick's personal experiences and expertise as an EOS implementer, this conversation offers valuable guidance and support for business owners looking to take their companies to the next level.

Rick’s entrepreneurial journey started in high school when he and a friend started a DJ company. Dedicated to a vision of creating the most exciting and energetic experiences, the business quickly found successes that extended far beyond the local Detroit market. Fast-forward a few decades, and this multi-state, award-winning company provided event planning, entertainment, and AV production services for national corporate, social, and educational clients.

After a successful sale and exit of the business in 2018, Rick has been a teacher, a coach, and a business consultant. His energy and passion for learning and growth are his superpower, always challenging the existing status quo to find better solutions. He personally understands and experienced the power of EOS and how it offers freedom for entrepreneurs to break through their ceiling, clarify and achieve their vision, while improving the lives of leadership teams, employees and their families.

Rick is excited to share EOS's power with you to achieve your vision, gain engagement, and build a healthy, cohesive, and fun-loving leadership team.
