SUMMARY:EOS Session 1 w/Dan Heuertz and Kevin Hundal: Companies That Are New To EOS
DESCRIPTION:Many of the most successful entrepreneurs and business leaders work longer hours and get less return on their investments of time and money. \nMaybe you grapple with some of these challenges: \n•Lack of control over time\, markets\, or your company. \n• People who don’t listen\, understand\, or follow through. \n* Profit that’s inconsistent and/or there’s not enough. \n• Growth is happening\, but you can’t break through to the next level. \nQuick fixes that come and go\, bringing little change with continued frustrations. \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Brave Leadership w/Speech Thomas\, The Grace Network and YPO Windy City
DESCRIPTION:We are beyond thrilled to invite you to a special event\, a night that promises to be not just enjoyable\, but also deeply inspiring. We are partnering with YPO Windy City\, to broaden our reach\, connect with fellow business leaders\, and foster a stronger community in our local area. \nWe will be joined with the presence of a music industry legend\, a revolutionary spirit\, and a man whose very life epitomizes the concept of Brave Leadership. We have with us Speech Thomas\, a 2x Grammy Award Winning founder and lead singer of the 4X PLATINUM hip-hop collective\, Arrested Development. \nSpeech Thomas is no ordinary artist. He has consistently pushed the boundaries of artistry and social awareness\, combining both in a way that transforms mere entertainment into an enlightening experience. His keynotes\, when combined with his musical performances\, form a symphony of insight and inspiration that leaves a lasting impression. \nSpeech Thomas and Arrested Development are the embodiment of Brave Leadership. They exemplify the potential of what can be achieved when we dare to be different\, when we collaborate\, when we break away from the mold\, and choose to DO DIFFERENTLY. \nThe Grace Network\, a Chicago based non profit\, will also be joining us to share their mission and how they are making their mark on Chicago inner city schools and students . If we want to see equity and diversity within our universities and workplaces\, we need to start supporting students facing adversity at a basic level\, as early as possible. Navigating adolescence is difficult for all\, but even more challenging for those facing adversity at no fault of their own. The Grace Network’s mission is simple – to ensure that all Chicago students start their school day with dignity and grace . They do this by providing basic health and hygiene items to students lacking access to basic necessities. \nSo\, come join us in this extraordinary evening of music\, inspiration\, philanthropy and camaraderie. Let’s unite to grow\, learn\, and be moved by the electrifying presence and profound wisdom of Speech Thomas. \nLet’s not just be part of the audience. Let’s be part of the movement. \nLet’s be brave\, let’s be different\, let’s DO DIFFERENTLY. \nCANCELLATION POLICY: \nThis event is open to members\, SAPs and a few spots for SLP. First come first serve. We will be implementing a 24 hour cancellation policy. All no shows or cancellations within 24 hours of this event will be billed a $100 cancellation fee. Event attendance will be on hold until all invoices are paid.

SUMMARY:Backstage Breakfast with EO Chicago & Special Guest\, Kevin Willer
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an exciting morning at the Valley Lo Club in Glenview\, IL! Get ready to meet and mingle with the entrepreneurial community of EO Chicago\, as well as our special guest\, Kevin Willer. This in-person event promises to be a fantastic opportunity to network\, gain insights\, and learn from a businessman who has been making his mark on Chicago .

Feel free to bring another entrepreneur to join you. (Please register them). \nAbout Kevin Willer: \nKevin is a Partner at Chicago Ventures and professional sports team investor. \nAfter graduating from Boston College in 1996\, where he managed newspaper delivery on campus for the Boston Globe & The New York Times\, Kevin worked a summer at the A-Bar-A dude ranch in Encampment\, Wyoming. Returning to Chicago\, he started his career by joining tech manufacturer\, U.S. Robotics\, before heading back to the east coast to help build a portfolio company of leading technology incubator\, CMGI. The dot.com bust forced a new path and in 2000 he joined a fledgling venture-backed search engine\, co-founding the Chicago sales office of Google Inc. As the first “Kevin” to work for the company\, he spent over a decade helping to build Google’s local presence to over 400 professionals and developed relationships across Chicago’s business and tech ecosystem while also earning his MBA from Chicago Booth in 2010. \nIn 2011\, now Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker sketched the idea for 1871 on a napkin and recruited Kevin to help make the idea a reality.
