I love possibility, potential, and progress!” - Mary Reilly-Magee As an entrepreneurial kid, Mary took advantage of a multitude of opportunities to “do business” with people. The funniest one was selling pictures of Charlie’s Angels to the boys in her fourth-grade class. Mary grew up to be a 10th-grade English teacher and high school swimming and water polo coach. But the entrepreneurial bug was still in her, and she found herself building a learn-to-swim business from scratch, growing it to three year-round, indoor, stand-alone locations employing 100 people at its peak. She sold that business in 2018 after 20 years. Running a successful business takes hard, heroic work, and Mary has experienced the typical setbacks for entrepreneurs, including sleeplessness, disappointments, and especially a heartbreaking tragedy that brought her to her knees. Mary has also experienced the recognition, appreciation, and opportunities that make all the sacrifices worth it. Signing up for that rollercoaster takes enormous courage. Today, she wants to help the heroes win.

Tune in to explore the visionary-integrator relationship and the role of core values in building a successful organization. Don't miss out on this insightful conversation! Carson began his career on the fast track at a company with annual revenue of $20B. He learned from some of the brightest, but after swimming through bureaucracy, he transitioned to a smaller firm and learned that he loved the pace and personal touch of entrepreneurial organizations. Eventually, he was running a 75-person company. Upon joining, he learned that the company’s profits were declining and that it had no consistent processes. But once he brought in an EOS implementer, the company was able to repair relationships, address chronic issues, and increase profit margins by 55%. He later sold the business and ultimately realized he was all in on EOS and wanted to help business owners and leadership teams go on their own rewarding EOS journey.
