Quotes

“[Before EOS], I think I clearly knew what I wanted inside, but like most visionaries, it was in my head. I couldn’t simplify it. I couldn’t get it organized on one sheet, and it was a little bit of a struggle.” Eric Hinson, (3:12)

“Explainify’s running smoothly because I have an integrator [and] I have a leadership team, and I’m able to focus on [Parable] right now.” Eric Hinson, (30:06)

“[With Parable], we’re already talking EOS language. We’re already building it around that operational model. Even with just two or three people, it’s going to be built around that because it’s been so helpful and I’d like to start from the beginning rather than do it later.” Eric Hinson, (31:21)

Quotes

“I find that the best working relationships, whether it’s with a team member or a client—any professional relationship—the best ones are where we’re open and willing and honest and vulnerable.” (7:55) – Wendy O’Donovan Phillips

“I think one of the most helpful things to me throughout [implementing EOS is] I now see so much more clearly what terrific ideas there are on the team that aren’t my ideas.” (19:31) – Wendy O’Donovan Phillips

“What I have learned is that the more infrastructure, the more of the right people, the more revenue and profit that we gain, the more fun it is, the more financially free we all are, and the more opportunity there is for everyone. And so my vision for this is to create a ripple effect.” (39:24) – Wendy O’Donovan Phillips
