In this powerful episode, Dan Heuertz takes us on a journey through decades of entrepreneurial highs and lows—from launching his first bar in college to building and exiting businesses in the restaurant and hotel industries. Along the way, he shares the critical lessons that shaped him, including how a paper route taught him the power of consistency and how intuition helped him navigate shifting market demands.

A 25-year member of Entrepreneurs Organization, Dan opens up about the profound impact of forum—a peer group experience he calls “sacred.” He reveals how these confidential, trusted relationships helped him survive the darkest moments of his career, including betrayal by a close business partner. For Dan, forum has been a space for raw vulnerability, deep connection, and powerful growth.

Today, he channels his experience into his work as an EOS implementer, helping leadership teams clarify their vision and execute with purpose. He’s also launched a new venture with his son publishing “skinny books” that help entrepreneurs distill and share their hard-earned wisdom.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking community, clarity, and courage in their business journey.

If you’re an entrepreneur searching for connection, explore the power of peer groups like EO forum. You don’t have to grow alone.
