Explore how work works with The CultureCon® Podcast—real stories, fresh ideas, and bold voices building a better world of work.
Some of the best leaders aren’t shaped by fitting in. They’re shaped by remembering exactly what it felt like not to.
Live from CultureCon 2026, Dr. Rod Berger sits down with Glenn Bostock, founder and CEO of SnapCab and author of “A Human Business: The People First Model for Lasting Success”. Glenn shares how struggling in school, finding confidence through craftsmanship, and learning to work with his hands ultimately influenced the culture he built as a CEO. Today, that culture is grounded in three deceptively simple values: be kind, be authentic, and be useful.
From hiring people for what they love rather than what’s on their résumé to rewarding mistakes and creating workplaces rooted in community, Glenn challenges traditional ideas about talent, productivity, and success. As AI makes information increasingly accessible, he believes the question leaders should be asking isn’t “How much do you know?” but “How can you be useful to someone else?” It’s a deeply human conversation about building workplaces where people can contribute, belong, and thrive.
