Featuring Josh Koza
Season 4 continues with a foundational conversation on culture, belief, and mentality. In this episode, Scott sits down with Josh Koza to explore the pivotal moments, trust accelerators, and mindset shifts that helped shape EPI’s value creator culture.
Throughout the conversation, Scott and Josh discuss how culture is formed long before it is documented and why belief systems, trust, and defining moments matter more than tactics. The episode dives into what it truly means to be a value creator and how leadership mentality sets the tone for everything that follows.
If you are focused on building a strong cultural foundation before scale, this episode offers insight into how culture really begins.
Featuring Ben Utecht
This Season 4 episode begins the conversation on documenting culture. Scott sits down with Ben Utecht to explore why culture happens by default or by design and why leaders must be intentional about capturing what they believe.
Ben explains the importance of a culture creed and why documenting culture is essential before it can be scaled, measured, or managed.
For leaders serious about preserving culture as their organization grows, this episode lays the groundwork.
Featuring Ben Utecht
In Part 2 with Ben Utecht, the conversation shifts from documentation to execution. Scott and Ben discuss how culture becomes measurable, scalable, and manageable when leaders treat it as an operating system rather than a slogan.
The episode explores how documented culture drives accountability, performance, and long term value creation.
For leaders who want culture to drive results and not just conversation, this episode shows what that looks like in practice.
