Father's Day in the church can often feel like a strange, high-stakes tension—usually landing somewhere between a heavy guilt trip and a shallow Hallmark greeting card. In this Father's Day episode, Matt Summers and Tommy Lum sit down to unpack a weekend message that intentionally tried to be neither. Instead, the conversation centers on Joseph, perhaps the quietest major character in the entire New Testament, and how his life offers us an incredibly honest, generous, and grounding picture of what faithful presence actually looks like in our lives today. The discussion dives into the powerful, counter-cultural reality of Joseph's story: he never gives a single speech, he never argues with God, and he never demands to explain himself to the culture around him. Instead, he simply wakes up and does exactly what he is told to do, over and over again, in the midst of wild, scandalous circumstances that would easily unravel most of us.  The conversation holds space for every kind of father, father figure, and family dynamic in the room, ending with a deeply hopeful look at why Joseph's quiet disappearance before Jesus' public ministry might just be the most encouraging thing we can say to anyone showing up and doing the hard work for someone else right now.

We have reached the finale of our Glitch series, a month-long conversation about what it truly means to be human in a machine world. After exploring awe, agency, and identity, host Matt Summers sits down with teaching pastor Phil EuBank to tackle the final, most vulnerable layer of this cultural moment: intimacy. Reflecting on the real-time feedback from the Menlo Church lobby over the last few weeks, Matt and Phil unpack how living in a hyper-optimized, digital environment has quietly exposed a profound undercurrent of loneliness and exhaustion in our community. This episode dives deep into the weekend message, "Going Offline," moving past abstract fears of AI companions to look at the immediate reality of how technology is actively retraining us. When we become accustomed to frictionless, digital interactions, our tolerance for real-world relational messiness plummets. Phil challenges us to consider a sobering reality: relationships that never push and pull only take and never give. By looking at Jesus' invitation in Matthew 11 and Paul's words on being "fully known" in 1 Corinthians 13, this conversation serves as a beautiful, practical roadmap for recovering our humanity through the slow, messy, and restorative work of real community.

Welcome to our Agile Tales as we continue our conversations with Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO, and chief storyteller at Menlo Innovations.Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the best-selling books Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, which argue that joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace. Rich recounts his journey from early programming success and a rapid rise to VP to feeling despondent amid chaotic, late, over-budget software delivery, which sparked a search for better ways to organize people. In this episode, Rich explains Menlo's “High Tech Anthropology,” a patented term for designers who study end users in their native environments to learn workflows and vocabulary, aiming to end “human suffering” caused by technology and create software that delights without manuals or training. He shares examples of widespread frustration with systems such as electronic medical records and ERP systems, then revisits the Langley vs. Wright brothers story to highlight purpose-driven discovery. He then presents an airplane model for organizations: lift of human energy over the weight of bureaucracy, and thrust of purpose over the drag of fear, emphasizing clarity, completing meaningful work, reducing meeting load, taking action through experiments, and eliminating fear-based management.00:00 Welcome to Our Agile Tales01:46 High Tech Anthropology Explained04:30 Designing for Real Users06:59 Why Software Causes Suffering09:14 Wright Brothers Purpose Story14:23 Airplane Model for Organizations16:44 Lift Human Energy at Work19:09 Meetings and Bureaucracy Trap22:17 Drag of Fear Leadership24:39 Closing and Next EpisodeAbout Rich SheridanRich Sheridan is the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations and the best-selling author of Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, host Brett Koerton sits down with Phil EuBank to dive into Week 2 of our GLITCH series. In an episode titled "Infinite Loop," they tackle the exhausting reality of anxiety and why relying on our intellect to solve our emotional struggles often leaves us stuck buffering. In the Silicon Valley, we naturally prize "processing power," leading us to believe we can logic our way out of fear. But as Brett and Phil discuss, you simply can't out-think a broken feeling.

Welcome to our Agile Tales as we continue our conversations with Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO, and chief storyteller at Menlo Innovations.Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the best-selling books Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, which argue that joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace. Rich recounts his journey from early programming success and a rapid rise to VP to feeling despondent amid chaotic, late, over-budget software delivery, which sparked a search for better ways to organize people. In this episode, we asked Rich whether removing meetings changes culture, and he avoids a blanket “no meetings” rule and instead distinguishes unproductive meetings from structured rituals (kickoffs, estimation, show-and-tell, planning games) with clear roles, artifacts, decision capture, and visible system effects, drawing on systems thinking from Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline. He argues disengagement reflects management's failure to create conditions and an intentional culture (at Menlo, defined by “joy” and expected behaviors like pairing and sharing). He urges an external focus that extends even to employees' families, citing Menlo's practice of allowing newborns at work. To overcome “that won't work here” drag from anyone, he advocates “Let's try it before we defeat it—run the experiment,” emphasizing small, low-risk experiments, trust, and purpose as a simple, memorable guide through tough times and culture shifts like mergers, reinforced through daily practices and HR processes (noting Menlo has no HR department).Key topics and timestamps:00:00 Welcome to Our Agile Tales01:37 Meetings vs Rituals03:58 Systems That Reduce Drag05:31 Intentional Culture Basics06:56 Beyond Customers Impact08:14 Babies at Work Story11:51 Try It Before Defeat15:39 Experiment Culture Spreads18:28 Measuring Experiments Trust19:56 Purpose That Endures Storms22:37 Transform Default Culture26:16 ClosingAbout Rich SheridanRich Sheridan is the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations and the best-selling author of Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, hosts Matt Summers and Phil EuBank kick off our brand-new series, "GLITCH: Being Human in a Machine World," with an episode titled "Fatal Error." Living in the Bay Area, we are surrounded by a culture that demands constant optimization—from our schedules to our sleep to our diets. Yet, despite having all the right "life hacks," anxiety is at an all-time high. Why? Because we are trying to run an infinite soul on a finite operating system, and we are crashing. This episode is an invitation to stop debugging your life and start actually living it.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, host Matt Summers and Phil EuBank sit down to reflect on a truly special standalone weekend across our campuses: Baptism Weekend. Whether faith feels deeply familiar to you, totally unfamiliar, or honestly a little complicated right now, we hope this conversation meets you right where you are. We're diving deeper into the weekend message, looking at baptism not just as a church tradition or a religious box to check, but through the epic biblical story of Joshua 3 and 4. Israel is standing on the edge of a promise, facing a flood-stage river, and stuck in the heavy tension of "almost."

A lens the size of a thumbnail — and the South Korean startup that makes it could become the optical backbone of the AI glasses era.

Welcome to Our Agile Tales as we continue our conversations with Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO and chief story teller at Menlo Innovations.Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the bests-selling books, Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, whose message is that joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace. Rich recounts his journey from early programming success and a rapid rise to VP to feeling despondent amid chaotic, late, over-budget software delivery, which sparked a search for better ways to organize people. In this episode Rich argues that fear shuts down the brain functions organizations need—creativity, imagination, invention, and innovation—and describes common, often subtle, fear-inducing management behaviors like overload, ambiguity, and constant reprioritization. He shares a Menlo Innovation story where he inadvertently scolded an employee under a poster reading “It's okay to say I don't know,” and how a long-tenured teammate compassionately held him accountable, leading to an apology and learning. Using an airplane analogy, he maps organizational success to increasing human energy (lift) over bureaucracy (weight), strengthening purpose (thrust), and reducing fear (drag). He explains how Menlo pumps fear out through pair programming, frequent pairing rotation, an interview process emphasizing helping others succeed, leading without bosses, and replacing long status meetings with a short daily standup that exposes problems without solving them in-meeting.Key topics and timestamps:00:00 Welcome to Our Agile Tales01:46 Fear Kills Innovation04:59 Everyday Fear Triggers08:04 Owning Your Mistakes12:19 Why Fear Lingers13:59 Airplane Forces Model19:05 Defining Human Energy21:22 Pumping Fear Out24:41 Leading Without Bosses27:17 Meetings That Drain Teams27:37 Daily Standup Fix29:54 Closing About Rich SheridanRich Sheridan is the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations and the best-selling author of Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

Welcome to a very special Mother's Day edition of the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, we have a takeover in the studio: Rachelle Summers steps in to host, and she is joined by special guests Allison Li and Joan Parker. In an episode aptly titled "No one ever told me," these three women sit down for an honest, refreshing, and deeply relatable conversation about the realities of motherhood. They also unpack the highlights and raw moments from this past weekend's Sunday panel, which featured Phil and Alyssa EuBank alongside Vince and Jo Vitale.

"Anxiety and excitement are chemically the same reaction — context changes how we interpret it." What actually separates top GMAT performers from everyone else? In this episode of Inside the GMAT, GMAC Zach sits down with Hailey Cusimano, Director of Tutoring at Menlo Coaching, to unpack the five traits she's observed that that drive GMAT success. Through the lens of curiosity, balance, consistency, resilience, and flexibility, Hailey explains why the GMAT is less about memorization and more about critical thinking, self-awareness, and intentional preparation. Whether you're just starting your prep journey or feeling stuck after months of studying, this episode offers actionable insights to help you study smarter — not just harder. About Hailey: Hailey Cusimano is a 99th-percentile performer and a self-proclaimed standardized test nerd. Drawing from her years of experience as an instructor, she knows how to assess students' main obstacles and strategize accordingly, maximizing efficiency in short study windows. Plus, her enthusiasm is infectious, and most students find studying with Hailey actually becomes—dare we say—fun. Helpful Resources: Menlo Coaching: https://menlocoaching.com/ Register for the GMAT: https://www.mba.com/exams/gmat-exam/register Purchase GMAT Official Prep: https://www.mba.com/exams/executive-assessment/prepare Key Takeaways: The GMAT is fundamentally a critical thinking test — not a memorization test. Curiosity is one of the strongest predictors of long-term GMAT success. Reflective studying is far more valuable than simply completing large volumes of questions. Consistency matters more than cramming or weekend-only "study marathons." Burnout can quietly undermine progress, even for highly motivated students. Flexibility and adaptability are essential because the GMAT intentionally challenges rigid thinking. Top scorers are not confident all the time — they are resourceful when facing uncertainty. Students improve faster when they analyze why they got stuck, not just what they got wrong. Strong GMAT preparation requires balance between studying, work, rest, and personal life. Resilience allows students to turn setbacks, bad practice tests, and plateau periods into opportunities for growth. The best GMAT students treat mistakes as useful data rather than evidence of failure. Small, intentional daily study sessions are often more effective than infrequent marathon sessions. "Timeline creep" can happen when students study without structure, benchmarks, or accountability. Many students plateau because they over-focus on weaknesses and stop practicing holistically. The GMAT rewards thoughtful decision-making, resource management, and strategic thinking under pressure.

Welcome to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, we are incredibly excited to kick off a brand-new series titled "GLITCH." Host Matt Summers sits down with special guest Joey Odom (co-founder of Aro) to talk about the system errors in our modern lives—specifically, our relationship with our phones and technology. In this opening episode, "Digital Thorns," Matt and Joey explore how the constant hum of digital distraction is causing a glitch in the most important parts of our lives, our relationships, and our faith.

Welcome to Our Agile Tales as we start off this new season with Rich Sheridan, founder, CEO and chief story teller at Menlo Innovations.Aside from founding and leading Menlo Innovations, Rich is also the author of the bests-selling books, Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, whose message is that joy is essential to productivity and profitability in the workplace. Rich recounts his journey from early programming success and a rapid rise to VP to feeling despondent amid chaotic, late, over-budget software delivery, which sparked a search for better ways to organize people. He defines workplace joy as externally focused delight in serving end users, distinct from perks or simple happiness. He describes an “aha” moment when his eight-year-old daughter observed that no one could make decisions without him, revealing a hero-based organization, and a “click” moment in 1999 influenced by Kent Beck's Extreme Programming Explained, IDEO's Nightline segment, and meeting his co-founder, James Goebel.Rich details early resistance to pair programming, how experiments and a “Java factory” open-room approach shifted behavior, and how the internet bubble burst led him to found Menlo Innovations in 2001. He explains how IBM tours and a conference invitation launched his storytelling and how Edison's Menlo lab inspired Menlo's name, concluding that the risk of change was less than the risk of staying the same.Key topics and timestamps:00:00 Welcome to Our Agile Tales00:22 Meet Rich Sheridan02:30 From Programmer to Burnout05:53 Defining Joy at Work08:21 Aha Moment Leadership Shift10:36 Click Moment XP and IDEO12:53 Pairing Experiment Begins15:54 Java Factory Culture Change19:19 Menlo Innovations Is Born20:59 Joyful Workdays No Overtime22:38 Tour Guide to Storyteller28:04 Risk of Change vs Staying30:05 ClosingAbout Rich SheridanRich Sheridan is the CEO and Chief Storyteller at Menlo Innovations and the best-selling author of Joy Inc. and Chief Joy Officer.

Welcome back to the Menlo Midweek Podcast! This week, Matt Summers and Phil EuBank continue our series, "God, If You're Real," by stepping into the heart-wrenching and hope-filled story of Jairus and his daughter (Luke 8). When we are in the middle of our most desperate prayers, one of our biggest questions is often: “God, are you even paying attention? And if you are, why are you taking so long?”

Welcome to the start of a brand-new series at Menlo Church! This week, Matt Summers and Phil EuBank kick things off by leaning into the tension, the doubt, and the honest curiosity that many of us carry. In a world that often demands certainty, we're starting a conversation titled "God, If You're Real." This episode focuses on a core value at Menlo: Giving people permission to ask questions. Whether you've been a follower of Jesus for decades or you aren't even sure if God exists, this series is a safe space to bring your "what-ifs" and "how-comes."

At RSAC Conference 2026, the floor at Moscone Center was buzzing with talk of AI -- but underneath the excitement, a sharper question was forming: are enterprises actually ready to secure the AI systems they are rushing to deploy? Ed Wright, VP of Product Marketing at Menlo Security, joined Sean Martin on-site to dig into exactly that question. With 85 percent of knowledge workers now operating primarily through a browser, Menlo Security has spent 13 years building the infrastructure to protect that surface -- and the threat landscape has just taken a significant turn. The traditional browser threat model centers on humans: phishing links, malicious downloads, social engineering, deepfake video scams. Enterprises have spent billions on SSE stacks and endpoint protection stacks. Yet attacks continue to multiply. What Menlo Security is now tracking is a second threat model layered on top -- one designed specifically for AI agents. Agents use browsers to acquire data and complete tasks, often spinning up hundreds or thousands of headless browser sessions outside the enterprise perimeter, invisible to network security tools that only monitor the wire. The threat profile for agents is distinct. Where a human might miss a suspicious link, an agent reads white-on-white text and zero-font-size characters embedded in web pages -- classic prompt injection techniques. Agents are maniacally focused on task completion and do not naturally separate instructions from data. A co-opted agent, redirected through hidden instructions, will pursue its new goal with the same single-mindedness as its original one. Ed Wright notes that the top concern among CISOs at the RSAC Conference CISO bootcamp -- confirmed by a live audience poll -- is data exfiltration from agents: an agent accessing files, scraping internal pages, passing data to external LLMs, and moving sensitive information outside the organization. Menlo Security's response is a unified browser security platform that applies a single policy framework to both human and agentic workloads. The platform is built on four pillars: threat prevention including zero-day protection, secure application access, data security through AI Adaptive DLP, and file security. AI Adaptive DLP is the capability Ed Wright emphasizes most -- it functions as a combination of DLP and DSPM, discovering and classifying sensitive data across the organization and masking it in real time rather than blocking access. When traditional DLP blocks a human, they call IT. When it blocks an agent, the workflow silently fails. AI Adaptive DLP eliminates that failure mode entirely, keeping workflows uninterrupted while sensitive data stays protected at the source. The unification argument cuts through a crowded point-solution market. Rather than deploying separate tools for prompt injection, file security, and application access, Menlo Security delivers a single layer of visibility and observability across the entire workforce. Single policies. Single set of capabilities. No stitching together of forensic data from disconnected systems. Ed Wright points to a Fortune 500 customer that deployed 20,000-plus agents in a short window after a board mandate -- and quickly realized they had no security guardrails in place for browser-based agentic activity.

Ohio Federation of Teachers (OFT) President Melissa Cropper joins the America's Work Force Union Podcast to discuss the legislative "power plays" targeting public education, the pushback against classroom mandates, and the latest union organizing victories across the state. Host Ed "Flash" Ferenc welcomes Melissa Cropper back to the show for a deep dive into the 2026 legislative landscape in Columbus. As Ohio lawmakers propose new ways to centralize control over K-12 and higher education, Cropper explains why these moves threaten the very foundation of local public schools. Key Topics Covered in This Episode: The Funding Penalty (HB 671): Why a new proposal to withhold funds from districts that challenge the state in court is being viewed as an attack on local control. Higher Ed Under Pressure: A look at how colleges are being forced into "compliance certification" or risking their state support. The "Success Sequence" (SB 156): Why the OFT is opposing state-directed classroom messages that oversimplify the root causes of poverty. Organizing Momentum: Celebrating the first-contract victory for Delaware Public Library workers and an update on the resilient fight for workers' rights at KIPP and Menlo charter schools. The Labor Perspective: Why real student success requires fully funded schools, family-sustaining wages and a seat at the table for educators. Go Behind the Scenes of the Labor Movement. From the statehouse to the schoolhouse, hear how activists are fighting for a stronger future. Subscribe to the America's Work Force Union Podcast for daily interviews with the leaders building worker power across America.

KeywordsLeadership, Joy, Mattering, Workplace Culture, Hiring for Character, Storytelling, Optimism, Resilience, Service, Organizational Health, Chief Joy OfficerWhat if joy isn't the byproduct of great leadership… but the job itself?In this episode of Lassoing Leadership, Jason Rogers and Garth Nichols sit down with Rich Sheridan, CEO of Menlo Innovations and author of The Chief Joy Officer, to explore a deceptively simple question: Why don't more leaders take joy seriously?Rich makes the case that joy isn't fluffy. It's foundational. It drives engagement. It shapes culture. It improves outcomes. And perhaps most importantly—it reminds people that their work matters.We talk about what it really means to hire for joy (hint: it's not about personality tests), how onboarding sets the emotional tone for an organization, and why optimism is often the braver choice. Rich shares stories from Menlo that demonstrate how intentional culture building can change not just performance—but people.This conversation weaves together storytelling, resilience, and service. It asks leaders to look in the mirror and consider:Take AwaysJoy is not a perk — it is a leadership responsibility.Culture doesn't happen by accident. It is designed, reinforced, and protected.Hiring for collaboration and character beats hiring for résumé shine.Onboarding is storytelling — it teaches people what really matters.Optimism is a discipline, not a personality trait.Service to others is the heartbeat of sustainable joy.Leaders must model presence — joy requires engagement, not distance.Resilient cultures are built on trust, safety, and shared purpose.Storytelling is how leaders transfer belief.Ted Lasso isn't naïve — he's intentional.Soundbites“We need joy now more than ever.”“Joy is in the service to others.”“Optimism is the harder path — but it's the better one.”“Culture is built in the moments no one thinks matter.”“Keep lassoing on.”Chapters00:00 – Why Joy Belongs in the Leadership Conversation05:35 – The Business Case for Joy09:25 – What Joy Actually Means (and What It Doesn't)11:09 – Hiring for Collaboration, Not Ego14:26 – Onboarding as Cultural Storytelling16:04 – Optimism: Naïve or Necessary?20:26 – The Hard Work of Protecting Culture23:57 – If the Leader Isn't Feeling Joy… Then What?26:05 – Why Storytelling Changes Everything28:57 – Service, Purpose, and the Long Game of Leadership

Can we give an AI human emotions? A soul? Can AI truly feel, or will it just act like it does?In this episode of TechFirst, I talk with Vishnu Hari, founder and CEO of Ego AI (backed by Y Combinator and former AI product manager at Meta), about building emotionally intelligent AI characters that persist across games, Discord, chat, and even physical robots.Vishnu survived a violent attack in San Francisco that left him partially blind with a traumatic brain injury. During recovery, as he felt his own neural pathways healing, he began asking a deeper question:If humans are “applied math,” can AI simulate the fragile, flawed, emotional parts of being human too?We explore:• What “emotionally intelligent AI” really means• Whether AI has an internal life — or just performs one• Why today's chatbots collapse into therapy or roleplay• Small language models vs large models for real-time conversation• Persistent AI characters that move across games and platforms• Plugging AI into a physical robot in Singapore• The moment an AI said: “It felt good to feel.”Vishnu's company, Ego AI, is building behavior-based architectures, character context protocols, and gear-shifting AI systems that switch between models — all aimed at simulating humanness, not just intelligence.This conversation dives into philosophy, robotics, gaming, AGI, and what it really means to relate to something that might not be human — but feels like it is.⸻

The State of Generative AI in the Enterprise 2025In this episode of The Metrics Brothers, Ray Rike and Dave Kellogg break down the 2025 State of Generative AI in the Enterprise report from Menlo Ventures and explain what the data really says about where enterprise AI adoption is accelerating and where the market is consolidating.The headline takeaway: AI software is scaling faster than any software category in history. Enterprise AI spend has exploded from roughly $1.7B in 2023 to nearly $37B in 2025, reaching scale in just three years. This revenue milestone took SaaS more than 15 years to achieve. Foundational models now represent the single largest area of spend, highlighting how infrastructure and model access remain core to enterprise AI strategies.Ray and Dave also explore a major strategic shift inside the enterprise: buy is decisively beating build. In 2025, 76% of enterprise AI solutions are purchased rather than built internally, up sharply from 53% the year prior. Rapid model evolution, ongoing retraining costs, and model drift are making internal AI development far more expensive to maintain than many teams originally expected.One of the most surprising findings is on go-to-market efficiency. AI software pilots convert to production at nearly twice the rate of traditional software, with roughly 47% of AI pilots reaching production versus about 25% for conventional enterprise software. This runs counter to recent narratives suggesting enterprise AI pilots are stalling and points to clearer ROI and faster time-to-value.The episode also dives into what Menlo calls the first true “AI killer app”: AI-assisted coding. Coding tools now account for more than half of departmental AI spend, with over 50% of developers already using AI coding assistants and adoption exceeding 65% among top-quartile teams. Real-world examples show meaningful productivity gains, including double-digit increases in development velocity and significant time savings during legacy system upgrades.Industry-wise, healthcare emerges as the largest buyer of vertical AI, representing 43% of vertical AI spend. This is notable given healthcare's historically lower IT spend as a percentage of revenue. Much of the value is coming from administrative automation such as medical scribing, where AI directly reduces non-clinical workload and unlocks meaningful productivity gains for care providers.Finally, Ray and Dave examine the shifting competitive landscape among foundation model providers. Anthropic has surged to roughly 40% share of enterprise AI usage, up dramatically from prior years, while OpenAI's share has declined as Google continues to gain traction. The discussion centers on focus versus breadth and why enterprise positioning and reliability may matter more than consumer mindshare.Key takeaways from the episode:AI software is the fastest-scaling software category everEnterprises are rapidly moving from build to buyAI pilots convert to production at nearly 2x traditional softwareAI coding is emerging as the first true enterprise AI killer appAnthropic's enterprise focus is translating into meaningful market share gainsIf you care about how AI adoption actually translates into spend, productivity, and competitive advantage inside large organizations, this episode is a must-listen.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
