ÜBER DIESE EPISODE
"We run EOS" usually turns out to mean "we bought a tool." Josh Peterson sits down with Michael Caito — the CEO who built Restaurants on the Run into a $40M pre-internet DoorDash, sold it to Grubhub, then bought MAP, the consulting firm that had coached his own company for fifteen years.
Michael Caito is the Owner & CEO of MAP (Management Action Programs), and in this conversation we explore EOS vs MAP, why self-implemented operating systems stall into to-do lists, and why every MSP business should be built to sell — even if the owner never intends to sell it.
----------
🎙 What We Cover in This Episode
- Compare EOS and MAP where it actually matters: facilitation, cadence, and manager training
- Diagnose the "to-do list in a tool" failure mode of self-run systems
- Understand why a CEO can't facilitate and participate in the same meeting
- Swap quarterly planning theater for monthly compounding accountability
- Reclaim management: one person accountable beats seven player-coaches
- Build enterprise value early, so selling is a choice — not a scramble
- Escape the peer-group trap that caps you at the average of the room
- Qualify like MAP does: hungry and humble, or no deal
