What our guides say

Steve’s mentorship and the state-of-the-art tools he developed immediately stood out as more advanced than anything I had seen before. The training covers every aspect of building a business, from innovative large-ticket sales approaches to practical, hands-on implementation. With comprehensive resources and strong support from both Steve and the guide community, I felt fully equipped to deliver meaningful results. What makes Summit OS® unique is that it doesn’t stop at the fundamentals—it helps companies differentiate, scale, and reach their full potential for long-term success.

I spent most of my career in finance, leading M&A deals and serving as CFO for growing companies, where I found my clients relied on me as much for strategic advice as for the numbers. When I discovered Steve’s Summit OS® program, the transition into coaching felt natural, and the training and support gave me the confidence to build a practice from the ground up. Now I combine my business and exit-planning expertise with the Summit OS tools to help companies streamline operations, stay focused, and become exit-ready. The program allows me not only to impact valuations but also to improve the lives of business owners and their teams, creating balance, clarity, and momentum.

Summit OS® stood out to me because of its completeness and its focus on supporting not just CEOs, but entire leadership teams for the long term. The Seal Camp training, combined with the insights of experienced guides and Steve’s mentorship, gave me the confidence to step into coaching and deliver real value from day one. The tools and resources—from frameworks and research materials to video content and role play—are practical, thorough, and inspiring. After years as a venture-backed CEO, I see this as my opportunity to give back to entrepreneurs and high-potential leaders, helping them scale with the resources I wish I’d had earlier in my career. Summit OS® provides a true 360° platform that prepares companies to grow sustainably, with depth and purpose.

I’ve been an entrepreneur my whole life, running early to mid-stage companies for over 20 years. After working with EOS and other systems, I realized they were useful but easy to outgrow. Summit OS® stood out because it’s customizable, scalable, and designed to grow with businesses instead of holding them back. Seal Camp gave me a clear roadmap and the hands-on practice I needed to start strong, and the training and tools have given me confidence to guide clients effectively. I’m passionate about helping entrepreneurs on their journey, and Summit OS® gives me the ability to create lasting impact at a much higher level.

Summit OS® takes the best of hard-earned business lessons and distills them into a powerful, practical system for guiding companies to success. The tools are intuitive, easy to apply, and backed by rigorous training that equips guides to hold themselves and their clients accountable. What excites me most is the chance to bring my experience—from leading defense and technology businesses to managing exits—to help small businesses and entrepreneurs, the true backbone of our economy. With Steve’s mentorship, innovative use of technology, and a community of highly accomplished guides, Summit OS® provides a new sense of purpose and a world-class toolkit that rivals even top business schools while delivering real-world impact.
