Easy Does It - A Morris-Jenkins podcast

We've all been there — sent the text we shouldn't have, snapped at someone we love, said yes when we meant no. In this episode, we're talking about the one skill that could change all of that: the pause. That tiny gap between trigger and response, where everything is still possible. We break down the science, share some stories, and give you practical tools to actually use it.

Being coachable sounds easy, but it often isn’t. In this episode, we talk about why feedback can trigger defensiveness, what it actually looks like to be coachable in real moments, and simple ways to turn feedback into growth. A practical conversation for anyone who wants to learn, improve, and work better with others.

Our COO is back! Adrienne Huy sat down with us to talk about Running the Play and MJ Easy. She brought a new and interesting perspective on running the play. It's more than what happens at work; it's about how you live your life. Do you have a play for your personal/home life? Can you tell when you aren't running it? Tune in to hear more from Adrienne about how running the play is about the bigger picture!

Presence isn’t about being the loudest or most charismatic person in the room; it’s about how you show up. In this episode, we explore how presence shapes trust, influence, and connection, why people feel your energy before they hear your words, and simple ways to become more grounded, focused, and effective in everyday moments.

In this episode, we sit down with our Chief People Officer, Mike Simons, and hear his story, what shaped his journey, what led him to MJ, and why this place stands out. We also dive into his perspective on what it really means to “Run the Play” from a people-first lens. How do we bring the right people through the door, and more importantly, how do we create an environment that makes them want to stay? It’s a conversation about people, purpose, and what makes Morris Jenkins such a special place to grow. Tune in to get to know Mike and hear how we put our people at the center!

He's the human noise machine and a staple in Morris Jenkins history. In this episode, we catch up with our Chief Sales Officer, Allen Smith. We talk about his story and get his take on running the play. Any time you sit down with Allen, it's always informative and always entertaining. Tune in to experience both!

You’ve heard it everywhere: “Run the Play.” But what does that really mean? In this episode, we catch up with our president, Brandon Anderson, to get his take on the theme and how it connects to MJ Easy — all the ways we’re working to make life easier for our customers. We discuss simplifying processes, reducing effort, and creating better experiences for both employees and customers. As always, it’s great to hear Brandon’s perspective. Take some time and give it a listen.

Ever wonder why you do what you do, even when it doesn’t make sense? This episode looks at human needs as the hidden drivers behind our behavior and invites you to reflect on what’s been running the show—and what you want to run it going forward.
