Episode notes
Backyard EOS Kickoff During COVID
- Raphael discovered Traction after an MSP suggested the book and devoured it in a weekend as a roadmap for everything they'd tried.
- He and Mervyn then hired implementer Josh and began EOS sessions in their parents' backyard during COVID, whiteboard and all.
Run First EOS Sessions In Person
- Do hold in-person EOS sessions when building initial rapport because video slows the immediacy and idea-bouncing essential for trust.
- Raphael insisted on all-day, in-person sessions rather than staring at screens for eight hours.
Visionary Role Validated By Traction
- Mervyn realized being a dreamer/ideator is a valuable, defined role once he read Traction and Rocket Fuel.
- Strengths like ideation and quick-start align naturally with the Visionary seat and gave him personal validation.
