The Spark Podcast
Sharing the stories of Nashville’s creative community.
There’s no place like Nashville. Creatives, artists, makers, builders, doers and dreamers define our great town—without them, we’re just another town with a million different burger stands (although we do love burgers).
The Spark Podcast gives the Nashville creative community a platform to tell their story, share what inspires them and offer advice. We believe communities get better when we look out for each other, and this way, we can help people share their stories with our amazing creative collective. Tune in and join the fun.

Building Culture from the Inside: A Decade at Snapshot and Leading Its Next Chapter
What does it actually take to rise from an entry-level hire to president of the agency you helped build? On this episode of The Spark, host Mark Scrivner sits down with Josh Moquin — newly named President of Snapshot — for a conversation a decade in the making. Josh walks through his unlikely path into the agency world (including how a beer after work and a notepad led him to Snapshot’s door), the seats he’s held on the way to the top, and the leadership lessons that shaped him along the way. The two dig into what it means to earn a title rather than simply receive one, how Snapshot landed career-defining projects like the Amazon HQ2 pitch and a Major League Soccer client, and what Josh is committed to protecting — and changing — as he steps into his new role. Listeners will walk away with a clear-eyed look at what it takes to build real trust inside an organization, why titles mean nothing without the work behind them, and how to think about growth, culture, and impact whether you’re leading a team of five or fifty.
