What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Ashley Langford, Marketing Operations and RevOps Leader.Summary: Ashley Langford has every credential the MOps job search advice says you're supposed to have: 2 Marketo Champion designations, a decade of B2B SaaS experience across multiple industries, a strong community presence, and a track record of building functions from scratch. She's still getting auto-rejected within minutes and ghosted by companies she was genuinely excited about. In this episode, she breaks down what the MOps job search actually looks like in 2026 from the inside, including how she uses Claude to build an interview packet before every meeting, why she has a hard line against unpaid take-home projects, and how the director-level search carries friction points that most job search content ignores entirely. She also says something most practitioners won't say out loud: she realized she was performing confidence instead of having it. If you're in a search right now, or know someone who is, this one is worth your full attention.About Ashley LangfordAshley Langford is a Director of Marketing Operations and 2-time Marketo Champion who has built and led MOps functions from scratch across B2B SaaS companies including LastPass, Integrate, HackerRank, GreenSky, and Waystar. Her work spans fintech, insurance, biotech, and HR technology, with deep expertise in Marketo, Salesforce, 6sense, and Looker. Adobe's Marketo Champion program selects around 40 practitioners globally each year; Ashley has earned the designation twice, in 2020 and 2023, and is also a Marketo Revvie Award Finalist.What Nobody Warns You About When You Get Laid OffThe shame of a layoff hits in a specific, quiet way that almost nobody includes in the public job search conversation. It doesn't look like despair. It doesn't stop you from applying, updating the resume, or showing up to the networking calls. It just tilts you. You overexplain the layoff in interviews. You hedge when confidence is what the moment requires. You walk in grateful to be considered instead of knowing what you're worth.Ashley Langford is 4 months into a search that should, by any rational measure, be going better. She has 2 Marketo Champion designations, a decade of track record across multiple industries, and genuine community presence. Her time at LastPass ended in a layoff that was clearly business-driven following the company's public turbulence. None of that insulated her from the quiet voice that arrives anyway.She didn't recognize it immediately. It took a few conversations before she saw what was happening. "I was performing confidence instead of actually having it," she says. For someone whose professional identity is built on expertise and results, that admission is uncomfortable. But naming it is where you start. You can't correct what you haven't acknowledged.The market doesn't help. Ashley has the credentials, the community ties, and the network. She's done what the standard job search advice prescribes. She's still getting auto-rejected within minutes and ghosted by companies she was genuinely excited about. "I haven't been ghosted this much since I was on Tinder like 12 years ago," she says. "At least then I knew why."The honest accounting: being well-credentialed matters inside the MOps community, where a Marketo Champion designation opens doors with people who know what it means. Outside that community, there are plenty of doors where it doesn't register. And the external recruiter pipeline, which used to generate steady inbound interest for practitioners at her level, has gone almost completely quiet. That drought is a real signal about what's happening in this market. The job posting numbers don't capture it.The practitioners who move through a senior search with the most clarity tend to be the ones who name what they're carrying early. The public-facing posture, excited about what's next, lots of great conversations, is one layer. The private reality of a Wednesday afternoon is another. Closing that gap starts with honesty about the performance, not just the tactics.Key takeaway: Name the performance gap before your search does it for you. After your next interview, write down 1 moment where you hedged, over-explained, or undersold your work. Identify the specific claim you avoided making. Draft the version with a number attached, and practice saying it without softening it until it sounds like your default.Where the MOps Job Search Actually Happens in 2026The job search advice is consistent about channels. LinkedIn, niche job boards, the hidden market through direct outreach and community presence, networking as a KPI. The framework is reasonable. What's harder to find is how it actually plays out for a practitioner with a specific profile in a specific market.Ashley's day starts on LinkedIn. New postings first, then the feed, because hiring managers sometimes announce open roles informally before they list them. From there: VC-backed job boards, which surface companies building fast. She's tried the Ashby job board search technique and found listings that hadn't appeared anywhere else. Greenhouse, the ATS platform, now has a cross-company search function that most people haven't found yet.After all of it, where are actual responses coming from? LinkedIn. The hidden job market is real and worth working. It's also producing less than the visible one right now. Anyone spending most of their search trying to unlock doors not listed on job boards while ignoring the platform still generating replies is optimizing against their own results.On conversations as the primary KPI, Ashley's take is more nuanced than the standard advice. She's gotten jobs through her network before. The approach works. But it requires having the kind of network that actually moves for you: people who will pick up the phone and make a call, not just say they'll keep an eye out. "The ratio depends on your network that you've actually built, not the one that you wish you have," she says.There's a structural wrinkle for MOps practitioners specifically. MOps people tend to be industry-agnostic, which is part of what makes the role valuable. Ashley has worked in fintech, insurance, biotech, and HR tech. That breadth is an asset in the market. It's also why her first-degree connections aren't concentrated in any one industry or company cluster. The broader the career path, the more spread out the network, and the harder it is to find someone who happens to know someone at the specific company hiring right now.The conversations-versus-applications question resolves the same way for most people: you need both. The ratio just depends on what you've actually built, and being honest about which bucket your network falls into before committing to a strategy built around the other one.Key takeaway: For 2 weeks, track which channel produces each actual response, not each application sent. If LinkedIn is generating replies and Ashby isn't, redistribute your time accordingly. Add the Greenhouse cross-company search to your daily routine and check it alongside LinkedIn. Both tools are free and most people haven't found the second one.What Hiring Managers Actually Look For in a MOps ResumeMost job seekers are guessing at what the other side of the table actually looks for. The tactical advice is everywhere: tailor your resume, use keywords from the JD, follow up with the recruiter. What's far less available is the hiring manager's actual perspective from someone who's done both in the same search.Ashley has built MOps teams. She's reviewed application stacks. She knows exactly what she skims past and what makes her stop. Now she's running that same lens on her own materials, which is a sharper fe...

Over his 15-year journey through healthcare and financial services security, Ken Bowles, now Director of Security Operations at GreenSky, has collected a plethora of practical strategies for prioritizing crown jewels, managing cloud over-permissions, and building SOCs that scale effectively. He reflects on transforming security operations through AI and intelligent automation and discusses how AI is reducing analyst investigation time dramatically. Ken also asserts the importance of auditing security controls before they silently fail. The conversation touches on the evolving role of the MITRE framework, the concept of signaling versus alerting, and why embracing AI might be the best career move for security professionals navigating rapid technological change in cloud environments. Topics discussed: Building security operations programs around crown jewels and scaling outward to manage the most critical assets first. Managing over-permissions in cloud environments that have snowballed across multiple administrators without proper governance. Using AI to reduce analyst investigation time from 30 minutes to seconds through intelligent data enrichment and context. Creating true single-pane-of-glass visibility by connecting security tools and data sources for more effective threat detection. Training new security analysts with AI assistance to bridge knowledge gaps in SQL, SOAR platforms, and log analysis. Documenting institutional knowledge while encouraging analysts to trust their intuition when something doesn't look right. Understanding the limitations of impossible travel alerts and using AI to establish user behavior baselines for accurate detection. Applying the MITRE framework as a guideline rather than gospel, adapting detection strategies to specific organizational needs. Implementing signaling approaches that label security-relevant events without creating alert fatigue for security operations teams. Auditing security controls regularly to catch configuration drift and ensure protective measures remain effective over time.  Listen to more episodes:  Apple  Spotify  YouTube Website

A paper in the journal Nature Climate Change concludes there is limited accountability for corporations that fail to achieve their climate change mitigation targets. The analysis shows 9% of company decarbonization plans missed their goals, while 31% “disappeared.” However, 60% of companies met their targets. While this might initially seem like good news, it may not be leading to genuine climate action. This week's podcast guest, Ketan Joshi, a consultant and researcher for nonprofit organizations in the climate sector, explains that many corporations are not actually decarbonizing their supply chains, but rather relying on buying renewable energy certificates and carbon credits to "offset" additional carbon emissions from their business. While carbon offsets are often touted as a way to directly fund climate action on the ground, Joshi stresses there is no verifiable way to track how much is funding these projects. Typically, credits are purchased from a broker, and 90% of these intermediaries arranging such deals on the voluntary carbon market don't share their data.

Hadassah GreenSky is an artist, activist, and musician. She is also the organizer of the Vibes with the Tribes, an annual Native American and cultural festival held in Detroit since 2020. You may know her from a viral photo of her and a few fellow dancers in front of the former Christopher Columbus statue in Detroit. Another one of her projects is a documentary, referred to as The Red Ghetto, which documents the lives of Native American families living in the Cass Corridor. According to GreenSky, those who lived in Detroit all had stories of relatives living in the Cass Corridor. "I think I heard an auntie once say there was over 120 different nations once represented in the city of Detroit, and there's still remnants of that," said GreenSky. "But, there's no, like, historical documents that talk about this. It's all just stories that all of us have." GreenSky has also been vocal about water rights. This year, they are organizing a Prayer Walk for the Water on Indigenous Peoples Day, Oct. 14 from 1-5 pm on Belle Isle in Detroit. The event is in commemoration of Grandma Josephine Mandamin, who, as an elder, walked around all of the Great Lakes, several times.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Greensky Bluegrass over Zoom video! Greensky Bluegrass are thrilled to announce their return to Colorado for four unforgettable performances. The band will kick things off with An Evening With Greensky Bluegrass Sept 14 and 15 at the Dillon Amphiteater. Then, the band will head down the mountain to Morrison for two more fun-filled evenings at Red Rocks Sepr 16 and 17. Special guests for Red Rocks TBA. For more information and all up to date news and tour info visit greenskybluegrass.com. Earlier this year, the band released their eighth studio album Stress Dreams via Thirty Tigers. Ahead of the release, Stress Dreams received high praise from critics. Garden & Gun calls the album "one of the most complete and engaging of the group's more than twenty-year career" and Glide says “Stress Dreams perfectly exemplifies, once again, why Greensky Bluegrass is heralded as one of the most important & influential bands of the modern progressive-bluegrass era.” About Greensky Bluegrass:Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quartet—Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]—have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Rolling back and forth across North America on successive tours, they've sold out multiple dates at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the Ryman Auditorium, the Fillmore Detroit, Riviera Theater Chicago, and many more. Beyond standout sets at Bonnaroo, Outside Lands, New Orleans Jazz Festival, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, and Austin City Limits, they co-own and have headlined 4848 Festival and Strings & Sol. In 2019, "All For Money" marked their second #1 debut on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 entry. They've also earned critical acclaim from Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone who hailed them as “representing the genre for a whole new generation.” For the past century, bluegrass music has traditionally relayed real tales of American life, struggle, tragedy, and triumph. It gives a voice to the quiet, yet colorful stories woven into the fabric of the country itself. Greensky Bluegrass live these stories through their records and performances. When touring ceased in 2020 in the face of the global pandemic, the band hunkered down and compiled demos individually at first, sharing emails and voice notes. In July 2020, they got together for the first time in four months, dedicating rehearsals to the development of the new material. Once circumstances safely permitted, they recorded what would become Stress Dreams during a session in Guilford, VT and two sessions in Asheville, NC with frequent collaborator “and old friend” Dominic John Davis as producer and “wizard engineer” Glenn Brown mixing. They preserved the hallmarks of their sound while widening its expanse. “Greensky is and always has been very unique in our world,” says Paul Hoffman. “We put our love, energy, and focus into what we appreciate about our music. We come together as a band in a way that's organic. We take a lot of pride in how we grow and challenge each other too. We're maturing together.

Community is the key word for today's show. We had the honor of catching up with Mike, Dave, and Michael of Greensky Bluegrass, a bluegrass-fueled band that's created a unique community of its own that's been absolutely thriving for the last two decades. Amy Wright connected with the guys on video call to learn about how Greensky initially got together and built its fanbase, how the band decided which songs to include in its upcoming album Stress Dreams, how Covid-19 forced them to take a break from touring, and how they've grown their sound over the years. Their new album Stress Dreams is due out on January 21st via Thirty Tigers, and we can't wait for you to hear it.Part of Pantheon Podcasts

Happy Holidaze No Simple Road Family! We are so stoked to have Paul Hoffman of Greensky Bluegrass as our guest on the show this week! Greensky has ushered us back into live music in 2021 and we thought there would be no better Holiday gift than to have one of them on the show for Christmas!Since their 2000 formation in Kalamazoo, MI, the quintet—Anders Beck [dobro], Michael Arlen Bont [banjo], Dave Bruzza [guitar], Mike Devol [upright bass], and Paul Hoffman [mandolin]—have unassumingly progressed into a phenomenon on their own terms with the undying support of a devout audience. Rolling back and forth across North America on successive tours, they recently sold out 3 nights at Red Rocks, a feat unheard of in their genre.During 2019, All For Money marked their second #1 debut on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums Chart and third straight Top 3 entry. They've also earned critical acclaim from Billboard, Parade, NPR, and Rolling Stone who hailed them as “representing the genre for a whole new generation.”We talk with Paul about finding the things that matter most while coming through the darkness, re-evaluating the things in our lives, creating the new album 'Stress Dreams', how Greensky's music became what it is today through the expression of its members, how things on the road look in 2021 and how that feels, and a whole lot more!SONG AT THE END OF THE CONVERSATION: 'Monument' off the upcoming album 'Stress Dreams'To pre-order 'Stress Dreams', tour info, new, merch, and more head over to : www.greenskybluegrass.comNEW!!!
