According to Nick, the majority of his career success has come from a combination of having great coaches in his corner and being comfortable being uncomfortable. After a stint in the Marine Corps, he spent a decade in the corporate world, yet he always had some sort of side business going, with a mix of success and failure. He finally took the entrepreneurial plunge by founding his own Fintech company, which he eventually sold in 2017. He is currently a certified EOS implementer at EOS Worldwide, where he helps startups and small businesses realize their growth goals. This episode is brought to you by Talent Harbor.

E2 | The Power of EOS: Implementing a Strong Company Culture | Adrian Dayton of Scale to Sell
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!
Our guest today is Adrian Dayton, a Certified EOS Implementer at Scale to Sell. Join us as Adrian shares his journey from lawyer to entrepreneur to EOS implementer. We discuss the power of implementing EOS, the challenges faced, and the importance of vulnerability in building a strong team. Adrian also shares insights on the dynamic relationship between visionaries and integrators in running a successful business. This conversation highlights the need for an integrator and the value of focusing on strengths.
Here’s how Adrian describes himself and his journey: “My passion is helping companies scale, and I learned this by accident. Three years ago, I was asked to volunteer as a coach for a group of young entrepreneurs as part of the EO Accelerator in Utah. In the first year, I helped multiple young companies grow and reach $1MM in annual revenue. I was hooked. Soon, I was asked to chair the entire program for Utah, and we've almost tripled its size.”
“Almost every month, we see entrepreneurs hit the $1MM mark and graduate from the program. In the process, I also ended up selling my software company, Clearview Social. At the time of the sale, we had over 60,000 users in 12 countries. Since then, I've become certified in the Entrepreneur Operating System (EOS.) Now, I have dual passions: coaching accelerator companies to hit the $1MM annual revenue mark and working as a coach and facilitator to help larger companies get clear on their vision.”
