About six months ago, Spencer called Cody out of the blue from a gym treadmill — and that call turned into the biggest move in MxU's history. In this episode, Spencer and Cody sit down right after the keynote to walk through the full story of how MxU and ProdLink joined forces, what Cody was actually building when he first developed ProdLink (a producer's dashboard he built for his own church, because he was running a multi-view, a stream deck, a remote iPad, and a stack of printed-out Planning Center sheets all at once), and why the answer to "is this just AI slop?" matters more than most people realize. They get honest about the tension every worship and tech leader feels — every new tool sounds nice in isolation, but volunteers are already drowning in apps, and "just another thing to download" is a real reason great products never get adopted. They unpack what's actually inside MxU now: dashboards (the old ProdLink producer view, with live ProPresenter slides, Planning Center order of service, timers, notes, and team messaging all on one screen), tasks and checklists, messaging — all rebuilt from the ground up inside MxU, not bolted on, with the full MxU engineering team behind it. Spencer makes the case that this isn't a feature update — it's MxU 2.0, and the company is heading in a new direction built around solving a much bigger problem than just training. They also talk about what ProdLink becomes going forward: a home for free production tools that don't necessarily fit inside the MxU paid platform (starting with the Draw on Slides iPad app), so churches with no budget still have something to use. They close by addressing the question everyone keeps asking — no, you don't need to download two apps, no, ProdLink isn't going away, and yes, this took six months of rebuilding because you can't shortcut the work of doing it right.
