195 | EOS Done Right vs. Done Wrong Hani Malek

If you’ve ever felt like your business should be further along than it is…
like you’re busy all day, solving problems, putting out fires… but somehow still not getting the results you know are possible—this episode is for you.

Today’s conversation is a special one for me… because I’m not just bringing on a guest—I’m bringing on someone who has had a direct impact on how I lead, how I run our business, and honestly, how I think about growth.

Joining me is Hani Malek, EOS Implementer, coach, mentor—and for me personally, someone who has helped shine a light on the gaps I didn’t even realize were holding us back.

Now, if you’ve heard of EOS—the Entrepreneurial Operating System—you might think it’s just another framework, another business buzzword. But I can tell you firsthand… when done right, it’s not just a system—it’s a way to bring clarity, accountability, and alignment to your entire organization.

And when done wrong… well, we’re going to talk about that too.

In this first part of the conversation, Hani breaks down:

  • What EOS actually is (in simple, practical terms)
  • Why so many businesses hit a ceiling—and how to break through it
  • The difference between doing EOS and actually living it
  • And how roles like visionary and integrator can either create friction… or become rocket fuel for growth

But more importantly, you’re going to get to know the man behind the expertise—his story, his faith, and the experiences that shaped how he helps leaders like you and me build stronger businesses and better lives.

So if you’re a business owner, a CEO, or a leader who knows there’s more in the tank—but just hasn’t quite unlocked it yet…

You’re going to want to lean into this one.
