What attracted you to the Entrepreneurs' Organization?
I was looking for an opportunity to open up to others about business issues and problems that I had always held close. In the past, I've struggled to discuss business matters with friends or family because they typically aren't entrepreneurs and lack sufficient insight to provide helpful feedback beyond giving a pat on the back and some encouragement. EO, especially Forum, is brilliant in that people with a similar mindset can share their experiences in a helpful, structured environment, which maximizes the value for each member.
What is your most memorable EO experience so far?
From an event perspective, the 2007 EO Las Vegas University definitely had the WOW factor. That was an experience I'll remember forever. However, the experience I treasure the most is being a part of Forum. We have some fantastic people, each of whom seeks to become leaders in their field. Watching everyone grow and achieve some amazing things provides a lot of satisfaction, especially knowing that we made a small, but significant, impact on the success of one another.
What has the Entrepreneurs' Organization taught you about your business?
EO taught me to reach out, ask, care, build a team and have some fun.
What would other members be surprised to learn about you?
That I'm not as shallow as I first appear! No, just kidding. I think I'm pretty transparent and open these days, so I don't think there's much I could reveal that would surprise many people. Although, I do have a stamp collection....
