The Menlo Experience - Episode 17: Progress Over Perfection
In this episode of The Menlo Experience, we dive into the reality that nothing in business or leadership is ever perfect. As the busy season starts, we talk about how to keep our teams grounded, flexible, and ready for the curveballs that always come our way. From staying calm under pressure to trusting that we’ve crushed it before (and will again), we unpack what it really means to lead through stress, let go of perfection, and keep momentum rolling. Whether you’re an idealist or a realist, this conversation will remind you that progress beats perfection every time.

Whether you’re wrestling with this topic or just curious, this is a thoughtful and encouraging conversation you won’t want to miss. Connect with Us | Text Us...

Am I making the right decision? What should I do? For many of us it’s not until we’re facing big life challenges or decisions that we start moving into a listening posture.
