One year ago, Anthropic launched the Model Context Protocol (MCP)—a simple, open standard to connect AI applications to the data and tools they need. Today, MCP has exploded from a local-only experiment into the de facto protocol for agentic systems, adopted by OpenAI, Microsoft, Google, Block, and hundreds of enterprises building internal agents at scale. And now, MCP is joining the newly formed Agentic AI Foundation (AAIF) under the Linux Foundation, alongside Block's Goose coding agent, with founding members spanning the biggest names in AI and cloud infrastructure. We sat down with David Soria Parra (MCP lead, Anthropic), Nick Cooper (OpenAI), Brad Howes (Block / Goose), and Jim Zemlin (Linux Foundation CEO) to dig into the one-year journey of MCP—from Thanksgiving hacking sessions and the first remote authentication spec to long-running tasks, MCP Apps, and the rise of agent-to-agent communication—and the behind-the-scenes story of how three competitive AI labs came together to donate their protocols and agents to a neutral foundation, why enterprises are deploying MCP servers faster than anyone expected (most of it invisible, internal, and at massive scale), what it takes to design a protocol that works for both simple tool calls and complex multi-agent orchestration, how the foundation will balance taste-making (curating meaningful projects) with openness (avoiding vendor lock-in), and the 2025 vision: MCP as the communication layer for asynchronous, long-running agents that work while you sleep, discover and install their own tools, and unlock the next order of magnitude in AI productivity. We discuss: The one-year MCP journey: from local stdio servers to remote HTTP streaming, OAuth 2.1 authentication (and the enterprise lessons learned), long-running tasks, and MCP Apps (iframes for richer UI) Why MCP adoption is exploding internally at enterprises: invisible, internal servers connecting agents to Slack, Linear, proprietary data, and compliance-heavy workflows (financial services, healthcare) The authentication evolution: separating resource servers from identity providers, dynamic client registration, and why the March spec wasn't enterprise-ready (and how June fixed it) How Anthropic dogfoods MCP: internal gateway, custom servers for Slack summaries and employee surveys, and why MCP was born from "how do I scale dev tooling faster than the company grows?" Tasks: the new primitive for long-running, asynchronous agent operations—why tools aren't enough, how tasks enable deep research and agent-to-agent handoffs, and the design choice to make tasks a "container" (not just async tools) MCP Apps: why iframes, how to handle styles and branding, seat selection and shopping UIs as the killer use case, and the collaboration with OpenAI to build a common standard The registry problem: official registry vs. curated sub-registries (Smithery, GitHub), trust levels, model-driven discovery, and why MCP needs "npm for agents" (but with signatures and HIPAA/financial compliance) The founding story of AAIF: how Anthropic, OpenAI, and Block came together (spoiler: they didn't know each other were talking to Linux Foundation), why neutrality matters, and how Jim Zemlin has never seen this much day-one inbound interest in 22 years — David Soria Parra (Anthropic / MCP) MCP: https://modelcontextprotocol.io https://uk.linkedin.com/in/david-soria-parra-4a78b3a https://x.com/dsp_ Nick Cooper (OpenAI) X: https://x.com/nicoaicopr Brad Howes (Block / Goose) Goose: https://github.com/block/goose Jim Zemlin (Linux Foundation) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zemlin/ Agentic AI Foundation https://agenticai.foundation Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: MCP's First Year and Foundation Launch 00:01:17 MCP's Journey: From Launch to Industry Standard 00:02:06 Protocol Evolution: Remote Servers and Authentication 00:08:52 Enterprise Authentication and Financial Services 00:11:42 Transport Layer Challenges: HTTP Streaming and Scalability 00:15:37 Standards Development: Collaboration with Tech Giants 00:34:27 Long-Running Tasks: The Future of Async Agents 00:30:41 Discovery and Registries: Building the MCP Ecosystem 00:30:54 MCP Apps and UI: Beyond Text Interfaces 00:26:55 Internal Adoption: How Anthropic Uses MCP 00:23:15 Skills vs MCP: Complementary Not Competing 00:36:16 Community Events and Enterprise Learnings 01:03:31 Foundation Formation: Why Now and Why Together 01:07:38 Linux Foundation Partnership: Structure and Governance 01:11:13 Goose as Reference Implementation 01:17:28 Principles Over Roadmaps: Composability and Quality 01:21:02 Foundation Value Proposition: Why Contribute 01:27:49 Practical Investments: Events, Tools, and Community 01:34:58 Looking Ahead: Async Agents and Real Impact

The discussion also covers challenges in accessing relevant data and emphasizes the collaborative role managers play in facilitating effective learning outcomes.

Ep. 174This week on The Zen Effect Show…This Tuesday's conversation is nourishment for the entrepreneurial spirit. Not motivation. Not grind culture. Not a highlight reel. This was a masterclass in purpose, presence, and perseverance.On this episode of The Zen Effect Show, I sit with Odidi, owner of Fresh One Kitchen and what unfolds is a grounded, honest conversation about building from why, not just will.You didn't ask to be here. You were created to be here. On purpose.You were born with a gift, and your life expands the moment you commit to locating it, honoring it, and building from it, even amongst the obstacles you may face.The moments that cracked him open and how those moments became invitations instead of endings.How obstacles refine purpose instead of erasing it.Why alignment sustains what hustle cannot.What it really means to build from your gift and let your work be an extension of your spirit.A reframe for entrepreneurs who feel tired, called, and ready for deeper meaning.Because entrepreneurship without grounding leads to burnout. Because purpose without embodiment becomes performance. And because Black creators, founders, and visionaries deserve conversations that honor soul, strategy, and sustainability, not just success metrics.This episode reminds us that building something meaningful requires more than effort. It requires presence, integrity, and trust in what you were designed to carry.This is about legacy not just income. Expansion not exhaustion. And remembering that your work is most powerful when it's aligned with who you are becoming.May this conversation nourish you. May it ground you. And may it remind you that what you're building matters because you matter.Connect Odidi and Fresh Visit Fresh One's Kitchen Place Your Online Order Here  Follow Fresh One Kitchen on Instagram

On Purpose with Jay Shetty Key Takeaways  Engineering Thinking FrameworkEmbrace failure as discovery, foster insatiable curiosity, and iterate relentlessly The core principle: break things, test repeatedly, and view each failure as eliminating one wrong approachIf you can dream it, you can build it through iterative experimentation.Naive Optimism + Strategic ExecutionTurn ideas into action by combining an optimistic vision with a practical breakdown: define your end goal, decompose it into simple steps, identify knowledge gaps, and test incrementallyTransform fear into curiosity through hands-on building and reflection on lessons learned, rather than ego protection The Immersion Weekend Method: Dedicate 48 hours of complete immersion to explore new fascinations – consume every book, video, and resource available. This intensive sprint reveals whether something deserves permanent schedule integration and helps you fall in love with the process of incremental masteryDual-Track Success ModelAvoid binary thinking: maintain steady employment while pursuing passion projects during nights and weekends until they gain tractionThe most successful ventures pair a 10x visionary thinker with a logistics master (Jobs + Napoleon model), preventing burnout by keeping founders focused on their core love rather than pure managementContent that resonates triggers five core emotions: Adventure, humor, negativity, inspiration, or surprise More broadly: control only what's in your sphere of influence, commit to “hell yes” decisions exclusively, and recognize that outcomes revert to the mean Things are never as extreme as they appear in the moment.Read the full notes @ podcastnotes.orgWhat idea have you been sitting on lately?

For the past several months, Frontier reporter Clifton Adcock has been digging into one of the fastest-moving — and least transparent — developments in Oklahoma: the rapid rise of data centers. These facilities promise big investment, but they also bring enormous demands for power and water, and much of the planning has happened out of public view.In this week's Q&A, Clifton walks us through how he pieced this story together: from tracking down hard-to-find utility filings to decoding dense regulatory documents and uncovering data center projects that weren't publicly disclosed. He also talks about the challenges of explaining highly technical issues in a way readers can understand, and what surprised him most as he followed the money, energy, and incentives behind Oklahoma's data-center boom.Read the story: Oklahoma's data center boom is about to hit the grid — and your power bill

Work feels different today. Conversations about AI, hybrid schedules, shifting career paths, and talent shortages aren't just industry headlines—they're shaping everyday decisions for workers and employers alike. As people rethink what they want from their careers and companies rethink what they need from their teams, one theme keeps rising to the surface: the skills that separate good from great have less to do with tools and more to do with how humans show up. According to the World Economic Forum's Future of Jobs analysis, employers are increasingly prioritizing human-centered capabilities such as creative thinking, resilience, adaptability, leadership, and the ability to collaborate effectively.How do we navigate a labor market in flux while staying rooted in human connection, communication, and service?

Summary In this deeply personal episode, I'm taking you inside my doctoral journey, and showing you how I'm transforming it into something far greater than a degree. As I work toward my Doctorate in Education, I'm not just writing a dissertation; I'm writing my next book in real time. I share how I'm using the same writing systems I teach my clients to structure my dissertation like a professional author, outline chapters with clarity, and stay disciplined even when life feels full. You'll hear how I'm bridging academic excellence with entrepreneurial purpose, using my research to build new programs, a certification track, and the foundation for my next published work. Whether you're a student, a thought leader, or someone balancing multiple callings, this episode will challenge you to think beyond your degree, beyond your title, and into how your current work can fuel your next level of impact. Key Takeaways Leverage What You're LearningYour dissertation or academic work can be more than a degree requirement — it can become a book, program, or revenue-generating asset. Repurpose With IntentionThink beyond completion. Every chapter, story, and insight can be reimagined to serve your audience and expand your brand. Write With Discipline, Not EmotionWaiting for motivation doesn't work. Set writing sprints, schedule your time, and show up — even when it's inconvenient. Keep Your Voice, Even in AcademiaAcademic writing is formal, but your ideas still need to flow and reflect your authentic voice and perspective. Pursue Purpose, Not PerfectionYour degree won't replace fulfillment or peace. True purpose comes from within — and it's what gives your work meaning beyond the title. Notable Quotes “I'm not just writing a dissertation — I'm writing my next book in real time.” “If I'm investing this much time, energy, and effort, there has to be an ROI that lasts beyond the degree.” “Clarity is a skill. Don't write to sound deep — write to be understood.” “You can't wait for motivation. You show up, get your mind in the game, and get it done.” “Your doctorate won't give you peace — purpose will.” “Think beyond the degree.

Jona Youdeem is a Senior Product Marketer at Xero, a global platform that helps small businesses manage their finances more efficiently. He focuses on helping entrepreneurs leverage AI to reduce inefficiencies and eliminate what he calls the "coordination tax." With over a decade of experience in product marketing, Jona has specialized in positioning, messaging, and go-to-market strategy across SaaS and AI-driven products. Jona blends customer insight, data, and creativity to build products that solve real-world business challenges. In this episode… Product marketing often sits at the crossroads of strategy, storytelling, and sales. But it's also one of the most misunderstood roles in B2B SaaS. Too often, it's boxed in as "launch support" or a "content engine," missing its deeper, strategic influence on growth. Does the real impact of product marketing come from how it connects insights, people, and processes across the entire business? According to Jona Youdeem, a product marketing leader focused on B2B SaaS and AI-powered go-to-market strategies, product marketing is a full-system discipline, not a single function. He believes its strength lies in connecting intelligence, positioning, launch execution, and enablement into one continuous loop that evolves with the product and market. Drawing from over a decade in SaaS and AI-driven products, Jona explains how real success comes from synthesizing signals to uncover insights others miss. He cautions against quick-fix consulting approaches that treat positioning as a one-time deliverable rather than a living process. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz is joined by Jona Youdeem, Senior Product Marketer at Xero, to discuss the real impact of product marketing in B2B SaaS. They explore why the discipline is so often misunderstood, how demand generation acts as a reality check for messaging, and why consultants often miss the bigger picture of positioning. Jona also shares his perspective on the future of marketing, explaining why human skills will matter even more in the age of AI.

In this episode of Partnering Leadership, Mahan Tavakoli is joined by Benjamin Tasker, an AI learning strategist who has applied artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges in healthcare and education. From predicting cancer risks in rural communities to improving student success rates through early intervention, Tasker has firsthand experience showing leaders how to harness AI for measurable impact.In their conversation, Tasker pulls back the curtain on what executives need to know before chasing the latest AI headlines. He challenges the idea that AI itself is the solution, underscoring that without clean, reliable data, even the most advanced systems will fail — and fail in ways that can damage trust, reputation, and long-term value.The discussion goes beyond the hype to explore the dual responsibility leaders face today: mastering the technical fundamentals that make AI work, while doubling down on the human skills that will differentiate leaders in an AI-enabled world. Tasker shares why empathy, communication, and decision-making under uncertainty will become more—not less—important as AI takes over more of the knowledge work inside organizations.Mahan and Ben also look ahead to the risks on the horizon, including what Tasker calls an inevitable “shock event” in AI — a moment that will test organizational resilience, stakeholder trust, and leadership credibility. The episode is packed with insights for CEOs and senior executives navigating AI's potential and its pitfalls, making it essential listening for leaders committed to staying ahead in a rapidly shifting environment.Actionable TakeawaysHear why jumping into AI without a clear data strategy can undermine your entire initiative — and what leaders must fix first.Learn how Tasker helped predict cancer risk factors using AI and what that example reveals about solving complex organizational challenges.Discover why clean, structured, and trustworthy data is the true competitive advantage in AI adoption.Understand the balance between building AI-related technical skills and strengthening human leadership capabilities.Find out which human skills will define leadership success as AI becomes more deeply embedded in decision-making.Get Tasker's take on the “AI shock” that could change public trust overnight and how leaders should prepare for it.Hear how universities and organizations need to shift from time-based credentialing to competency-based skill validation.Learn the steps Tasker recommends for creating a personal and organizational learning plan to stay ahead in the AI era.Connect with Benjamin TaskerBenjamin Tasker Website  Benjamin Tasker LinkedIn Connect with Mahan Tavakoli: Mahan Tavakoli Website Mahan Tavakoli on LinkedIn Partnering Leadership Website

"We always say our mac and cheese is like a break from the chaos. When things are crazy in your life, you just need a break. You don't have to go off the deep end and eat a bowl of some boxed XYZ... I want to eliminate that ‘Oh my God, what have I done?' part after you eat." —Myles Powell   Comfort food isn't just about taste—it's about trust, memories, and feeling good from the inside out. Too often, the foods we love come with a side of guilt or mystery ingredients, but there's a better way to enjoy the classics without compromise. Myles Powell grew up cherishing family meals, only to find that most store-bought comfort foods fell short of those memories. Driven by a passion for real ingredients and honest business, he set out to reinvent mac and cheese and more, building a brand that puts people and purpose first. Listen in for a no-nonsense look at building a clean-label food business, the real hurdles of funding and scaling, and how comfort food can be both nostalgic and nourishing. You'll walk away with practical insights, inspiration, and a fresh perspective on what's possible in your kitchen and beyond.   Meet Myles: Myles Powell is the founder of Myles Comfort Foods, a purpose-driven comfort food brand dedicated to clean-label, better-for-you classics. Inspired by family meals and a passion for real ingredients, Myles turned his love for authentic food into a business that puts transparency, quality, and emotional connection first. With experience in both self-funding and raising capital, he leads with resilience and a commitment to making comfort food that's as honest as it is delicious.   Website Instagram Facebook TikTok Spotify   Connect with NextGen Purpose: Website Facebook Instagram LinkedIn YouTube   Episode Highlights: 00:47 Better-For-You Mac&Cheese 05:31 Real Ingredients, Real Impact 08:27 The Challenges of Shipping Perishable Goods 10:35 Emotional Eating vs Food That Feels Good 13:26 Brand Values Over Product Hype 17:38 Funding the Dream, Learning to Pitch, and Handling Rejection 26:45 New Products on the Horizon  

Ash and Dusty discuss how ADHD traits (hyperfocus, justice sensitivity, rejection sensitivity, and perfectionism) shape the way people approach allyship. Ash opens with a vivid story about feeling unintentionally objectified at a conference after coming out as transgender, illustrating how well-meaning curiosity and requests for education can put emotional labor on the person with a marginalized identity. Dusty describes common ADHD patterns—the over-eager ally who wants to demonstrate knowledge, the panic after a misstep, and the tendency to seek drama online—and explains how those patterns can derail genuine support. Both emphasize that intention alone isn't enough: allies must match intent with respectful action. They offer practical guidance for managing capacity and making meaningful choices: focus on a few causes you can sustain, donate or volunteer locally, and pick moments where conversation can lead to real change instead of getting into futile online fights. Learn independently rather than relying on marginalized people to educate you; when interacting, meet people as people first and let them set the boundaries for how much their identity becomes the topic. Small, thoughtful actions (checking safety, providing accessible spaces, following diverse voices) often create outsized positive effects and are more valuable than performative gestures.
