Sometimes the best way to figure something out…is just to do the thing. 

Summer Friday was built on this belief. And so was this podcast, which launched two episodes ago without even having an official name. 

That all changes in episode three, where we set out to talk about SEO with digital marketing guru Madelyn Ihnen. But while discussing some best practices for making a new brand searchable, the conversation organically shifts to the saga behind Summer Friday’s moniker. 

Then things take a meta twist as we delve into the process for naming this very podcast. True to Summer Friday form, it’s a meandering journey where the right destination eventually reveals itself — but only when you’re curious enough to pay close attention along the way. 

Hosts: Rob Simone, Michael Cruz, Dan Gould

Summer Friday is a vibe. An approach. And — dare we say it? — a way of life. It's that ethos that inspires us, challenges us, and pushes us every day to take our company to places we never dreamed. And that’s what this podcast is all about.

Exploring business & culture means amplifying voices. That’s why we’re including as much diverse thinking as possible — opening up the guest list to pull in questions and perspectives from across our team and our listeners. It’s a conversation all about business, entrepreneurship, marketing, technology and life. Because that’s what Summer Friday is all about, too.
