    61. Scaling Culture Across Every Branch w/ Chris Turner
    2026/10/26
    In this episode of Culture Architects, David J. Friedman sits down with Chris Turner, president of Piedmont Service Group, a multi-location HVAC and mechanical services company serving Virginia and the Carolinas. Chris shares his journey from joining Piedmont as a sales engineer in 2003 to eventually stepping into the president’s role more than two decades later

    David and Chris explore what it takes to preserve a strong culture as a company grows across locations, makes acquisitions, and transitions from longtime leaders to a new generation. Chris explains how Piedmont moved from having a culture people could feel but struggled to define to intentionally creating the “Piedmont Way,” a set of 31 behaviors designed to create greater consistency across every branch.

    They also discuss what happened when Piedmont introduced the Fundamentals to hundreds of field employees, why the investment paid off, and how the culture has influenced accountability, recruiting, retention, and even customer relationships.

    Ultimately, Chris reflects on one of the biggest lessons of his leadership journey: the people side of the business matters more than he ever expected. As he puts it, sales may drive the business, but culture drives the sales.

  • 60. Building a Culture of Ownership w/ Kerry Siggins

    60. Building a Culture of Ownership w/ Kerry Siggins
    2026/10/05
    What does it really mean to think and act like an owner?

    In this episode of Culture Architects, David J. Friedman sits down with Kerry Siggins, CEO of StoneAge, a 100% employee-owned manufacturing company in Durango, Colorado. Kerry shares how her own leadership journey, including rebuilding her life after addiction, shaped the way she thinks about ownership, trust, accountability, and culture.

    David and Kerry explore how StoneAge grew from a 30-person company into an organization of roughly 250 employees while working to preserve and intentionally codify the culture that made it special. Kerry explains how the company’s “Own It Mindset” grew out of a real need to define not only how people perform their jobs, but how they show up as teammates.

    They also discuss why trust is the foundation of a healthy culture, how leaders can create environments where people are willing to speak up and take ownership, and why difficult conversations are most productive when the goal is to be accurate, not simply to be right.
    Together, David and Kerry offer a candid conversation about ownership, trust, feedback, and what it takes to build a culture where people are empowered to lead.

    59. Saving Humanity from Business as Usual w/ Chris Yard
    2026/09/14
    What if business could be both people-first and performance-driven?
    In this episode of Culture Architects, David J. Friedman sits down with Chris Yard, co-owner of Mercury Wire Products, a family-owned custom cable manufacturer based in Spencer, Massachusetts. Chris shares how his early experiences outside the family business helped shape his belief that many organizations unintentionally build systems that drain energy from good people.

    David and Chris explore Mercury Wire’s “True North Fundamentals,” the behaviors that guide the company’s daily operations and help create a more intentional, team-based culture. Chris explains how Mercury challenges traditional assumptions about hierarchy, money, decision-making, and what it really means to put people first.

    Together, David and Chris discuss how culture can be engineered with purpose, how teams can be designed around people’s strengths, and why Mercury’s larger mission is “saving humanity from business as usual.”
