About
A dying entrepreneur in Lagos finds new life after reading a single book. A McDonald’s worker hands out kindness with every napkin. A woman running door to door in the Michigan cold asks, “Are you Jesus?”
Rich Sheridan is a storyteller. But behind every story is a conviction about how faith shapes the way we lead. In this series, he explores joy, stewardship, hard decisions, and the courage to bring 1 Corinthians 13 into the workplace.
Rich is the CEO and co-founder of Menlo Innovations, a Michigan-based custom software firm celebrating its 25th anniversary in 2026. He is the author of Joy, Inc. and Chief Joy Officer, where he shares how organizations can build joyful cultures while delivering exceptional results. A sought-after speaker, Rich brings his vision of faith-driven leadership to audiences around the world.
The conversations build on one another, so if you’re joining this series partway through, you may want to start with Episode 1 for the full context.
For listeners interested in the operational side of Menlo Innovations, including its interview process, hear Rich’s earlier conversation on the “Our Agile Tales” podcast: Joy and HR – Lessons for Creating an Intentionally Joyful Culture.
