Blame It On EOS! A Family Business Tale with Corey Lawson

Blame It On EOS! A Family Business Tale with Corey Lawson

"Being an excellent husband, father, friend & entrepreneur is a choice. Easy to say, hard to do." That's how Corey describes himself on his LinkedIn Profile & when you listen to this podcast you'll understand how he achieves all of these.


Corey works as the Co-Owner & President of All Volleyball Inc - a family-owned business that has been running for many years.


Just 2 years ago, after trying to implement many other business systems, the family business decided to go with EOS & use a professional implementer to help them.


In that time they have survived & thrived throughout a pandemic & grown the business to 5x its revenue. However, it hasn't been without its challenges.


Find out why they chose to go with EOS, what it has done for the business & how they went from 5 family members on the leadership team down to just one but how they still all get along & love each other.


Their story is VERY inspiring & if you're a family business owner or part of a family business, you will take a lot from this episode.
