In this episode, Butch Zemar sits down with lifetime entrepreneur MZ, who built a 40-year event production company (think Bulls championship parades and Fortune 500 events—not your average company picnic) before shifting his focus to helping business owners gain control of theirs through EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System).
MZ shares what decades in the trenches taught him—like how solving the wrong problems really well still doesn’t help (we’ve all been there), why consistent processes give business owners actual freedom, and how structure—contrary to popular belief—doesn’t kill creativity, it makes room for it.
For him, the work isn’t just about building stronger businesses—it’s about improving the lives of the people running them. Because let’s face it, business ownership is tough, but with the right playbook, it doesn’t have to feel like you’re the only one holding the flashlight in the dark.
