Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system's successes and challenges. I'm your host, Ryan Hogan.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode, I sit down with Chris Castillo, Strategic Coach and EOS Implementer, who shares how EOS became the game changer for scaling, structure, and freedom in his coaching business, before becoming an Implementer.
