Can you imagine making a successful leap from auditing derivatives at a big four accounting firm to running a thriving business in agricultural installation? That's exactly what Greg Schonefeld did, and we're excited to bring you his inspiring journey on the Poultry Leadership Podcast. Greg, the owner of Ag Installers and host of the Eggheads podcast, shares his story of transitioning into the agricultural sector, scaling his company to over a hundred employees in its first year, and overcoming challenges despite lacking a construction background. He also reveals how the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) became a cornerstone of his leadership strategy, helping him navigate his rapid business growth and plan for the future.
We also touch on a critical issue: shifting the perception of manual labor in America, particularly in agriculture. Greg emphasizes the need to professionalize and value these roles, sharing insights on building a leadership team and the transformative impact of adopting EOS. He discusses strategic shifts in business operations and offers practical advice for farmers looking to scale their operations, including starting with the book "Traction." Greg's insights demonstrate that success in agriculture involves more than just hard work; it's about strategic planning and leadership.
Greg's passion for agriculture and leadership extends to his role as the host of the Eggheads podcast. He shares the inspiration behind starting the podcast, its impact on educating and engaging consumers, and the camaraderie within the podcasting community. We also delve into the importance of embracing challenges like the 75 Hard program to foster personal growth and resilience. This episode is a treasure trove of insights on leadership, innovation, and the value of sharing knowledge to foster growth across all industries.
