Episode Synopsis

I didn’t know Scott before this episode, but his story left a mark. He built Crescent Point from scratch, led for 18 years, and eventually stepped away. We talked about the pressure of being a young CEO, the impact of government policy on Calgary’s energy sector, and the moments where everything could’ve gone sideways.What stood out most was how much of his leadership style came from unlikely places—NHL locker rooms, family dinner tables, and quiet conversations with mentors. He built a culture where trust wasn’t just a word, and he’s still applying those lessons today as an entrepreneur, mentor, and now a published author.This one covers a lot: leadership, letting go, risk, reinvention, writing, and why culture really does matter. Especially when it’s built on friendship.How To Connect:Jeff Humphreys - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.jeffhumphreys.caScott Saxberg - https://scottsaxberg.comPodcast Location - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.modelmilk.caPodcast Production - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.shortlinecreative.com
