ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
Conversations About Business Operations, Leadership & Growth
Work Hard. Be Nice. is the podcast from Operator's Edge Co. where host Sheri Horvath sits down with business owners, leaders, entrepreneurs, and community changemakers for honest conversations about what it really takes to build something meaningful.
Each episode explores business operations, leadership, growth, entrepreneurship, and the lessons that come from building businesses, leading people, overcoming challenges, and creating lasting impact. Some conversations dive into systems and strategy. Others explore leadership, relationships, community, and the values that shape successful businesses.
No matter the topic, you'll leave with thought-provoking insights, fresh perspective, and ideas you can put into action.
If you believe success is measured by more than the bottom line, you're in the right place.
Building a great business starts with working hard, being nice, and leaving people and communities better than you found them.
