From pivoting on a dime to skating where you're going, this episode is all about embracing the mindset of high achievers and leveling up for the year ahead.

Happy Holidays from The Menlo Experience! 🎄🎁 It wouldn’t be a holiday episode without Mariah Carey’s classic All I Want for Christmas Is You, so we kick things off with some bloopers as Brad and Kyle give it their best shot! It’s the perfect way to set the tone for our holiday party recap, where we celebrate the year’s highlights and reflect on how we came together to close out 2024 on a high note.

Next, we dive into the theme for 2025: simplicity. We discuss how cutting through complexity allows us to focus on what truly matters, build strong foundations, and make a lasting impact. From volunteering with Harvesters to preparing for SOC 2 compliance, we share how intentionality and simplicity are guiding our plans for the year ahead. Don’t miss this festive episode!

In this episode of The Menlo Experience, we reflect on gratitude—celebrating family, the Menlo team, and the moments that matter most.

We also explore post-election optimism in business, lessons from the Kansas City Chiefs’ 9-1 journey, and how consistency—not perfection—builds dynasties. Tune in for insights, laughs, and a reminder to find strength and opportunity even in tough circumstances!
