Hark Herold brings three decades of military precision to the entrepreneurial world. As a retired U.S. Air Force colonel turned EOS implementer, Hark shares how his leadership experience in high-stakes environments—from serving in Desert Storm to overseeing base recovery during rocket attacks in Iraq—shaped his approach to business.

Now, he empowers small and medium-sized businesses to build clarity, cohesion, and execution with the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS). In this episode, Hark explains why leadership alignment is non-negotiable, how ego can cripple growth, and what it means to have the “right people in the right seats.” He also highlights resources available for veteran-owned businesses and shares why coaching is essential, even when all the tools are already at your fingertips.
