The Long Game of Leadership with John Snyder

What does it take to evolve from a field technician to the CEO of a thriving company? In this episode, Greg sits down with John Snyder, CEO of NetFriends Inc., to explore how a values-driven approach and relentless curiosity helped him build an award-winning company culture over two decades.

John shares his journey from a small-town upbringing to building a customer-focused, cybersecurity-savvy managed service provider. Along the way, he reflects on what it means to step into leadership, the power of frameworks over rigid processes, and how vulnerability and vision helped him fill a leadership vacuum.

You’ll hear how NetFriends became a place where innovation thrives—not just because of smart strategy, but because of trust, optimism, and the belief that everyone on the team matters.
