Welcome to Confessions of an Implementer, a podcast by Talent Harbor. We share unique stories of implementers and the companies they’ve transformed to give you a rare glimpse into the system's successes and challenges. I'm your host, Ryan Hogan.

Let’s dive in!

In this episode, I sit down with Matt Hansen, an EOS Implementer, who shares how he shaped a career built on solving complex problems and leading with purpose. From breaking down challenges into actionable steps to building a culture of honest feedback, they highlight why kindness means tackling tough issues for the good of the team. Now focused on making an impact, instead of chasing titles, Matt reveals how data driven insights, open communication, and a commitment to core values create healthier teams and stronger businesses.
