Find your tribe.
EO has gone far beyond transforming by business (from $350k as an accelerator to over a million in 2 years), it’s changed me as a person. The relationships and friendships I’ve gained are ones I’ll have for life. EO has taken me from a “please don’t talk to me introvert” to a leader in the chapter and a more confident person in my business.
EO is full of entrepreneurs who are passionate about their business and excited for growth! EO has so many fun social events, serious learning days and is not only focused on business growth but personal growth as well. EO challenges me and gives me the tools to become a better CEO, a better lawyer and a better spouse.
EO will change your business and your life. It is the business masters class every ivy league attempts to create but with a catch. It's real.
