Since 2015, Erath has been a record holding Certified EOS Implementer, a Certified Scaling Up Coach and a Certified Pinnacle Business Guide. As the only business guide in the U.S. to have simultaneously held all three certifications, Erath shares from his vast knowledge as well as his more than 20 years of experience in the trenches of the entrepreneurial world to help his clients bring their dreams to reality.

His book, RISE: The Reincarnation of an Entrepreneur, is available in print and audio on Amazon. In 2023, Erath co-authored The Path to the Pinnacle: Using Customized Business Operating Systems to Drive Growthwith Gregory Cleary, and he is currently writing his third book, The Five Obsessions of Elite Organizations, with an expected release in the first Quarter of 2025.
