About this listen

What do fleas, betrayal, and bankruptcy have to do with building a technology business? Everything.

In Standing on Shoulders: From Fleas and Failure to Building a Culture of Service in Tech, Sam Sapp shares his raw, unfiltered journey from near-collapse to creating a company built on faith, resilience, and service. From the sting of broken partnerships to the grind of clawing back from bankruptcy papers, from ransomware stand-offs to rebuilding trust in technology, Sam’s story is as much about people as it is about IT.

This isn’t a how-to manual. It’s a memoir forged in fire — full of stories, scars, and the lessons they left behind. Along the way, you’ll see how Lockbaud was built not just to fix technology, but to design a culture where service comes first, gratitude scales, and technology empowers growth instead of frustrating it.

Whether you’re an entrepreneur fighting through your own setbacks, a leader searching for cultural clarity, or simply someone curious about the human side of technology, Standing on Shoulders offers a reminder: failure isn’t final, faith can be renewed, and sometimes the worst days become the very foundation of lasting success.

Includes a Foreword by Dr. Robert “Navy Bob” Roncska
