Rather, they're designed and built systematically, brick by brick. Each week, join David J. Friedman, the best-selling author of Culture by Design, as he speaks with extraordinary leaders, from all walks of life, and they share their biggest successes, failures, and lessons learned on their culture journeys.

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

    60. Building a Culture of Ownership w/ Kerry Siggins
    Oct 5 2026
    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
    Sep 14 2026
    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.”

  • 58. From Soldier to Culture Architect w/ Logan Nance

    58. From Soldier to Culture Architect w/ Logan Nance
    Aug 24 2026
    Most guests on Culture Architects come to culture from the top of an organization. Logan Nance came to it first from the inside of one of the most intentional cultures there is: the military.

    In this episode, guest host Dustin Campbell sits down with Logan Nance, a member of the CultureWise sales team whose journey with the company began long before he ever worked there. Logan shares how his path from a small town in Kentucky to serving in Afghanistan shaped the way he thinks about leadership, trust, shared standards, and the invisible forces that shape how people show up for one another.

    Dustin and Logan explore what military service taught him about team dynamics, how culture forms naturally in every group, and why leaders have to be intentional about the behaviors they allow, reinforce, and reward. Logan also reflects on the unlikely friendship that began when David Friedman sent him care packages through Soldiers’ Angels, and how that relationship eventually led him to CultureWise.

    Together, Dustin and Logan offer a thoughtful conversation about service, mentorship, leadership, and what it means to carry forward culture work that is simple, practical, and deeply human.
