Off Script Operators is a coffee meetup for healthcare founders in Southern California who do not have it all figured out.
You are ready for what comes next and looking for the room where that conversation happens.
No speakers. No sponsors. No frills. No ego. No name tags with your title on them.
We share what worked. What failed. What we wish we knew before starting. What we are still trying to figure out today.

I'm Ben Holguin, an operator who spent the last few years on the founding team of a healthcare business that grew from zero to tens of millions across multiple locations.
I sat in the seat where the hard decisions land on your desk, where the wrong hire costs more than money, where marketing spend either works or it doesn't and you feel both, and where every quarter feels like you're rebuilding the car while driving it.
I'm starting Off Script Operators because I can't find anything like it. The rooms I kept finding myself in were either run by companies looking to sell me something or too generic to be useful. I craved real and practical conversations.
That is the room I want to be in, so I'm building it.
What is the single biggest mistake you made scaling past $1M and what did it cost you?
Where did you almost lose everything and what did you learn from it?
What is the thing in your business you are most embarrassed to admit you still have not fixed?
If you could go back and change one decision you made in the first three years what would it be?
Where are you looking to go and how do you plan to get there?
You run a patient-facing healthcare business in SoCal doing $1M or more.
You are in the room where decisions happen, doctor or not.
You are past survival mode, but the challenges feel real, and you could use some help.
You are tired of being the smartest person in the room and are genuinely hungry to learn from others who have walked the path.
You would rather spend 90 minutes with eight operators who have done it than three hours at a conference listening to someone who has not.
You check your ego at the door. Always.
We meet monthly at a selected coffee shop in Orange County, California.
It’s free for now. 8 operators only. Attendee selection is deliberate to ensure the in-room experience is worth it.
Each meeting starts the same way. Three sentences:
1. Your background
2. What you're building
3. What you're hoping to get from the room
Then we go straight into the hard questions. People share real experiences of what broke, what it cost them, and what they actually did to resolve it.
We close with individual questions about growth and what is next. This shapes the discussion for the following meeting.
The best operators in the room are not the ones with the biggest revenue or the most locations. They are the ones who show up, tell the truth, and leave smarter than they arrived.
If that sounds like you, request a seat.
This is not for everyone and that’s the point.
If you're looking for leads or a place to pitch, this is not the room.
