Better leaders. Better decisions. Better results.
Vistage is the confidential peer advisory group for top level business owners and operators. Once a month, CEOs and business owners meet with 12-16 peers from non-competing companies.

- Collaborate with peers to uncover solutions to your biggest business hurdles.

“As a creative professional running a rapidly growing agency, I’ve often struggled with the business side of things. Joh Olson has been a game-changer in that regard. His strategic thinking, combined with his deep understanding of the creative process, has helped me streamline operations and enhance our client offerings. Joh's suggestions are always actionable and rooted in the latest industry trends, which has kept us competitive and innovative. Joh is the secret sauce that’s taken us to the next level!”

What Members are Saying
“As a business owner with a million ideas, having Joh Olson listen, brainstorm, and problem-solve with me has been game-changing for my accounting, marketing, strategy, operations, and professional relationships. Even after a year and a half of meeting, it still surprises me how many concrete pointers he’s suggested that have become pivotal to my business—and they keep coming! He’s a lifelong learner, so it seems like there’s always a new book, training, or article he can recommend for my dilemmas. Someone I met who also works with Joh once said, ‘Many people can do this business, but the difference between us and them is that I met Joh, so we do it better.'”

That's where Joh comes in. His ability to align our mission with sound business strategies has been instrumental in our growth. From developing sustainable revenue models to navigating complex stakeholder relationships, Joh’s advice has been both practical and visionary. He’s always bringing new perspectives from the latest books and studies, making our approach more robust.”

Meet Your Mentor, Joh
My career has been a non-linear journey marked by perpetual curiosity and applying the lessons I learn. It blends the art and science of people and processes, focusing on that unique intersection where value is created by serving others.
I dedicated two decades to serving, leading, and empowering diverse teams in healthcare at UCLA, UC Davis, Stanford, and rural areas in Maine and Idaho. Next, my wife and I built a portfolio of diverse businesses, which remains an ongoing, growing endeavor. I’ve explored Venture Capital and served as a COO in a rapidly scaling startup.
My primary mission today is to foster vibrant communities of proven value creators driven by lifelong learning. I also help business owners prepare for their next chapter. Often by taking their business to the next level or crafting an extraordinary exit, assisting them in maximizing the value and legacy of their life’s work.
Experiencing Vistage as my peer learning group and now as a chair has been an incredible value for me and my family. I would not attempt to navigate the journey of business leadership without it. That’s why I became a chair.
Through Vistage, we enable education and learning for CEOs and UHNW value creators. Creating learning experiences brings me joy, and the positive impact is undeniable. Ready to unlock your potential and lead with confidence? Join Vistage today and be part of a community that elevates, inspires, and drives success.
