A morning of big ideas and meaningful conversation.
EO Nashville joined Belmont University’s Fall Leadership Breakfast for an inspiring conversation with Danny Meyer, founder of Union Square Hospitality Group and Shake Shack, about building enduring culture and asking, “What Could Possibly Go Right?”
We were glad to spend the morning with fellow Nashville entrepreneurs Austin Ray, owner of ML Rose and Von Elrod’s, and Vivek Surti, owner of Tailor. Thank you to Belmont University and the Massey College of Business for bringing our community together.
Sometimes growth asks you to stop doing what used to work.
The business changes. The team changes. Your role changes. And eventually, the way you’ve always done things can become the thing holding you back.
That’s what makes the $1M question worth asking: What has to change to get to the next level?
Take five minutes this week and write down your answer. Then decide what you’re actually going to do about it.

Every entrepreneur has a few “I’d do that differently” stories.
Some lessons come from the wins. A lot of them come from the decisions you only understand after you’ve lived with them for a while.
That experience is worth sharing.
If you could go back to day one, what’s one decision you’d make differently? Drop yours in the comments and tell us what it taught you.

Some of the hardest business decisions are the ones you have to make when it feels like you’re on an island.
Scott Spiro has been there.
Over more than two decades as an entrepreneur, Scott built and merged companies, navigated major shifts in culture, faced a serious employee situation, and ultimately led SugarShot through its acquisition in 2024.
Through it all, one lesson kept showing up: who you surround yourself with matters.
“When you’re all by yourself on an island as an entrepreneur, it becomes really tough emotionally.”
For Scott, EO became a place to bring the decisions that were difficult to navigate alone. Trusted peers offered perspective when the stakes were high, whether he was thinking through a merger, protecting company culture, or dealing with an unexpected crisis.
His conversation on The Decision also gets practical, including the cybersecurity basics every business owner should be thinking about and why your employees can be one of your most important lines of defense.
Hear Scott Spiro’s full story on The Decision for a conversation about resilience, leadership, cybersecurity, and the value of having the right people in your corner.
If everything still runs through you, growth gets heavy fast.
There’s a point where doing it yourself stops being efficient and starts taking time away from the things only you can do.
Your calendar can tell you a lot about where you are in that transition.
Look at your week and find one responsibility someone else could own. Then give them the chance to own it.
