Overview: Join us for an exclusive EO Philadelphia Roundtable—part of a series led by our tenured members—designed to create space for real, unfiltered conversations among entrepreneurs who’ve seen both the highs and the hard moments of business.

These sessions are built on experience-sharing at its best: seasoned EO members facilitating candid dialogue, offering perspective you can’t get from a playbook, and creating room for meaningful peer learning.

This month, we’re tackling a topic many avoid—but every founder eventually faces: what happens when growth stalls or the business takes a hit.

Led by EO Philadelphia member and seasoned operator Eric Griffin, this session dives into the reality of navigating a downturn. After losing 50% of his business—representing 80% of profits—in just six months, Griff was forced to make fast, high-stakes decisions to stabilize and protect what he had built.

He’ll walk through what he did, what worked, what didn’t, and how he adapted—sharing 10 practical, real-world takeaways to help you respond with clarity, protect profitability, and lead through uncertainty.

This is your opportunity to engage in a candid, one-off conversation where the most valuable learning happens—directly from those who’ve been there and are willing to share it all.

Attendees: EO Philadelphia Members Limited to 20 participants.
