PODCAST: Mike Costa Interviews Stephen Culp

  • Monday, August 4, 2025
Stephen Culp is one of Chattanooga’s most prodigious and low-key entrepreneurs. 

In this episode, Stephen shares why curiosity is the driving force behind most of his decisions, what it was like being in Europe when the Berlin Wall fell (and participating in it), and how going to Stanford forced him to be entrepreneurial, which ultimately led him to start Smart Furniture and Delegator, as well as to come back to Chattanooga.
