Ep 17. Culture: It isn’t a Perk, It’s a Plan – Travis Peterson, Snap Install – CEO 2 CEO

What does it take to build a company where culture isn’t just talked about—but lived at every level? In this episode of CEO 2 CEO, host Scott Sustacek sits down with Travis Peterson, Founder and CEO of Snap Install, to explore how intentional culture can drive performance, loyalty, and long-term growth.  From his early experience in a toxic workplace to starting his own business to building a team of over 150 employees and 1,200+ contractors, Travis shares candid lessons on hiring for fit with the company, leadership, and staying connected as a founder—even as the company scales. Having evolved from operator to visionary, you’ll hear why he still interviews every candidate, attends team meetings just to listen, and stands behind a “no-asshole policy”— and, most importantly, why culture at Snap Install isn’t about being perfect, but about being intentional.This episode is perfect for CEOs, founders, and leaders who want to stay rooted in purpose while growing their business (and themselves) from the inside out.
