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 Michael Richman, an EOS Implementer and Business Coach, who shares how an implementer creates the safe space needed for real conversations, why strong client relationships come from old fashioned consistency, and how partnerships thrive on open communication. Michael also discusses the value of curiosity in facilitation and why patience, not quick changes, is the smartest move when acquiring a business.
