## Resource

As physical security companies scale, regional expansion is often the ultimate growth engine—and the ultimate culture killer. In Episode 79 , the Unlocked trio—Lars Johnston ( Calgary Lock & Safe ), Tony Hokanson ( Assured Security ), and Chad Lingafelt ( Loc-Doc Security )—tackle the tactical friction of geographic scale . Fresh off a cross-border training event, Tony puts the guys in the hot seat to discuss how to project foundational beliefs across branches that sit hundreds of miles away . Lars shares his real-world "acquisition scars" from absorbing an existing team in Edmonton, outlining why leaders must prepare for cultural turnover when standardizing a local operation . Chad details his high-tech "virtualized conference room" framework that forces satellite locations to actively engage rather than passively observe corporate huddles . From sensory branding hacks to empowering branch managers to carry the operational torch, this episode outlines how to build a unified footprint without diluting your signature standards
