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 Brian Brown, the President and Partner at Ingredient Food Marketing, to learn more about why he wanted to use EOS at his company and how it has helped. He highlights how EOS helped him clarify his role, strengthen company culture, and integrate core values into every aspect of the business. Brian emphasizes the power of swift, consensus driven action and the importance of arranging people, clients, and decisions with a shared set of values.   03:21 The Early Days of Web Development 06:07 From Development to Agency Ownership 09:10 Embracing the Role of Visionary 12:31 The Need for Leadership Structure 15:06 Identifying Personal Strengths 17:40 Strengthening Company Culture with EOS 20:07 Living the Core Values 23:01 Navigating Growth and Transition 25:40 Embracing Core Values in Hiring 28:15 Navigating Client Relationships with Values 31:49 Turning Challenges into Opportunities 34:30 Implementing EOS: Lessons Learned 39:34 Overcoming Implementation Hurdles 42:56 The Right Time to Act 46:28 Understanding Ingredient: A Food Content Marketing Agency   Episode Resources   Website: https://ingredient.mn LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-brown
