EO Cleveland Event Launch Book 2023-24

Letter from Don Polyak Chapter President

Cleveland EO Members,

Shoshin is the beginner’s mindset. For me, it’s like the first day I was given a bike as a child – I knew I had new adventures ahead of me and I was ready to find them! Everyday we have a choice in how we show up. I challenge us as individuals and as an organization to show up with curiosity, excitement, intentionality, and openness to the adventure ahead of us.

First, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to our past leadership for gifting us this organization. I would also like to thank the membership that has entrusted me with this leadership role. I assure you that I am wholeheartedly committed to steering our organization towards new heights of success, growth, and adventure.

As entrepreneurs, we are united by our unwavering passion, drive, and determination to challenge the status quo and create meaningful change. This upcoming year promises to be nothing short of extraordinary, as we have carefully crafted an exhilarating lineup of events, initiatives, and opportunities that will both inspire and equip you for success.

Our foremost objective is to foster a vibrant and inclusive community that thrives on our core values; TRUST and RESPECT, thirst for LEARNING, think BIG, be BOLD, together we GROW. We firmly believe that by harnessing the collective brilliance and diverse expertise of our members, we can unlock unparalleled opportunities for personal and professional growth.

To kickstart the year, we have curated an exceptional range of expert-led learning events, social opportunities, and can’t miss - WOW events. Brace yourselves for captivating conversations and transformational insights that will revolutionize your personal life and your entrepreneurial journey.

In addition to our regular events, we have strong strategic alliance partners. These are our regions renowned industry leaders and organizations that bring us exclusive opportunities for forum content, experience sharing in their areas of expertise, and additional amazing relationships for our growth.

What about our Think BIG Space? Thanks to last year’s boards vision, we will drive our goal of membership engagement and connection within our own space. I am looking forward to all of the connections, laughs, learning and magic that will fill OUR space!

Together, let us ignite the spark of innovation, embrace challenges as opportunities, and shatter barriers as we share this extraordinary journey of entrepreneurship. With each step we take together, we will not only redefine success but also shape the future of our world.

Show up! Shoshin.

Show up. Shoshin. A beginner’s mind.

This year, EO Cleveland will bring a beginner’s mindset to learning. From economics to death, sex to storytelling, we will uncover the latest on these topics. With a primary focus on learning from the leaders among us, we will also explore how ChatGPT and AI will shape the future of business and co-create opportunities to learn from each other. Later in the year, “EO Book Club” invites you to leave your mark by sharing your experiences from applying concepts from your favorite book, or one of the many resources in EO’s library of nano-learning and podcasts.

What will the story you tell say about how you showed up to learn this year?

Think Big Space.

EO Cleveland is learning into one of our Core Values, think Big, be Bold, more than ever with the opening of the EO Cleveland Think Big Space! Located in the heart of downtown at 1020 Bolivar Road, our 4700+ sq. ft. 24-hour office space features a hip bar area, individual co-working space, 4 conference rooms, a lounge, a rooftop patio, a gym, and more.

As the incoming EO Cleveland Think Big Space Chair, I’m looking forward to making sure every EO and EOA Cleveland member has a great experience in our new building. Whether you’re hanging out with your EO Cleveland colleagues, hosting a forum meeting, attending an EO Cleveland event, or just looking to co-work and socialize with your EO tribe, I can’t wait to see you at the Think Big Space!

ROOF SMITH

Roofsmith is a full-service roofing, gutter and insulation contractor dedicated to the maintenance, upkeep, & replacement of residential and commercial roofs, gutters, and insulation throughout NE Ohio, Greater Cincinnati, & Greater Nashville, TN areas.

Roofing: Whether you’ve experienced storm damage and need to file a claim with your insurance company or your roof is at the end of its life, we can walk you through the entire process with ease and professionalism.

Gutters: Gutters and downspouts divert water from your home to help avoid water damage. By directing roof runoff away from foundation walls, a gutter drainage system keeps water out of your basement or crawl space. A well-functioning home gutter and downspout system also preserves the topsoil surrounding the foundation of the house. It protects exterior siding and trim from backsplash water that can damage paint and cause wood rot.

Insulation: Proper roof insulation improves your home’s efficiency. Insulation is that extra barrier between your home and the elements. With optimal roof insulation, your home will stay snug and warm in the winter and cool and comfortable in the summer. Blown-in insulation for attics offers a quick, affordable and effective option for insulating your home. Roofsmith Restoration offers free estimates for the installation of attic insulation.

Insurance restoration: One of the things we are experts at is helping the homeowner navigate the insurance restoration process. We educate the homeowner on the advantages and or disadvantages of filing a claim for their roof replacement.

All insurance companies are not the same, nor are their policies: Many times homeowners aren’t aware of what’s in their policy or what their rights are as a policy holder.

How often should I have my roof and attic inspected: This is a popular question we get all the time. We help homeowners by taking an educating, problem-solving approach. This removes the fear of being “sold” and puts the power in the homeowners’ hands.

How to build a healthy culture: Roofsmith operates with a transformational leadership mindset, meaning we believe that a healthy balanced employee that is thriving both personally and professionally will be an engaged effective employee.

The Three Radicals: At Roofsmith we practice Radical Grace, Radical Curiosity and Radical Listening. I teach what these are and how they can transform your culture.
