Today we're pulling a timeless EO Fire episode from the archive so the giveaway may not be active, and we'll be breaking down how to go from Chief, everything officer to Chief Executive Officer.

To drop these value bombs, I brought James P. Freel into EO Fire Studios. When businesses are ready to scale, they call James Freel.

He's a secret weapon helping many of today's well-known entrepreneurs become successful CEOs. Breaking complex problems in the small actionable steps is his superpower.

In today's formation, we'll talk about how a system is a combination of people, process, and tools. It needs to be coordinated to achieve an outcome.

And how to get into the habit and the mindset of being an effective CEO, don't fall into the trap of being the aforementioned four types of bad bosses that we go over in the episode and so much more Fire Nation.

And a big thank you for sponsoring today's episode goes to James and our sponsors.

James say what's up to Fire Nation and sure something interesting about yourself that most people don't know what's up Fire Nation great to be here JLD.

So I think one of the things about me that most people probably wouldn't know unless you're my parents I my first big sale in my career was actually selling my swing set.

When I was like eight or nine years old you're like I'm done with this for sale. Yeah well it was really funny because I was home alone and my neighbor came driving up our driveway and he knocked on the door he's like hey your parents here I was like no they're not here and I just figured the conversation would end.

And we just kind of stood there was awkward for a minute and he looked over at my swing say like oh that's a really nice swing set and I looked over at it realizing exactly what you just said.

I was like well do you want to buy it and he said really I was like yeah sure I was like I'm not using anymore why don't you make me an offer and he's like five bucks I sold it for 75.

Wow. Yeah he's like all right I'll take it I was like perfect so he goes driving down the road and my parents see the swings and hanging off the back of his truck.

They're like was that your swings I was like yeah I just sold it.

I hear parents like we spent $745 on that swing set.

Exactly exactly.
