What is The EO Visionary Voices Podcast?
I'm Brent Peterson from the Minnesota chapter of Entrepreneurs' Organization, and I believe every entrepreneur's journey is a marathon worth sharing. EO Visionary Voices brings you raw, honest conversations with founders who understand that building a business isn't about the sprint—it's about strategic endurance.
Each episode, I sit down with EO members, startup founders, and seasoned Entrepreneurs who've learned that success comes from preparation, persistence, and the willingness to adjust mid-race. We dig into the pivots that changed everything, the mistakes that taught the most, and how these leaders use frameworks like EOS to turn complexity into clarity.
You'll hear stories about balancing growth with purpose, leveraging peer learning, and building companies that can go the distance. Because entrepreneurship isn't just about crossing the finish line—it's about how you run the race.
Whether you're starting mile one or approaching mile twenty-six, these conversations will give you the insights and inspiration to keep moving forward. After all, we're all in this ultramarathon together.
Welcome to EO Visionary Voices—where entrepreneurs share the strategies that matter most.
