Exit Is Now - Plan Accordingly With Scott Snider
The Brick Wall Moment That Defined EPI
Feb 19, 2026 Season 4 Episode 4
Scott Snider

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.
