The Larry Vaughn Show
6 - LVS - "Wealth Whispers, Money Talks" with Chris Petro
In this episode of The Larry Vaughn Show, Larry sits down with Chris Petro to talk about what it really means to lead with integrity, build teams that last, and make tough calls in business without losing your values.
Chris shares his journey from running a multi-site print business to selling his company, navigating corporate life, and helping build Canon’s national accounts program from the ground up. Through it all, his focus never changed — take care of your people, protect your customers, and let your values lead the way.
This episode dives deep into leadership, mentorship, and the realities of entrepreneurship — from surviving near-bankruptcy to embracing change, empowering employees, and learning when to release control so others can grow.
Whether you’re a business owner, team leader, or anyone navigating change, Chris’s story is a reminder that true leadership isn’t about power — it’s about trust, humility, and doing right by the people who help you build it.
