    How to Scale from 18 to 50 Production Volunteers

    How do you grow a production team from 18 volunteers to 50 in just two years? In this episode, we sit down with Cody, who actually did it. If you've ever said:  "We can't find volunteers."  "The same people serve every week."  "Nobody wants to join production." ...this conversation is for you. We break down the exact mindset shifts, systems, and leadership principles that helped grow a healthy production team without relying on constant recruiting or church-wide growth. You'll learn:  Why most churches struggle to recruit volunteers  The biggest mistakes leaders make when building teams  How to create a culture people actually want to be part of  Practical ways to retain volunteers and avoid burnout  The leadership habits that create long-term growth Whether you're leading worship, production, or your entire volunteer culture, you'll walk away with practical ideas you can apply this week. 👉 Learn more about MxU: https://getmxu.com?utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=18to50&utm_medium=social Book a free demo: https://savvycal.com/mxu-team/MxU-Demo FREE RESOURCESTake advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly):https://getmxu.com/resources?utm_source=podcast&utm_campaign=18to50&utm_medium=social JOIN THE COMMUNITYFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/app.mxuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mxu.app WHAT IS MxU?

    We've Got BIG News

    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. 👉 See the new MxU: https://getmxu.com?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=mxu-prodlink FREE RESOURCES 🆓 Take advantage of all the free resources for worship and tech teams that MxU has to offer (growing weekly): https://getmxu.com/resources/?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=mxu-prodlink&utm_medium=social IMPROVE YOUR SUNDAY SERVICES 🎓 1,000+ Training Videos: https://getmxu.com/training?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=mxu-prodlink&utm_medium=social 🖥️ Volunteer Training Tool: https://getmxu.com/learning-management-system?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=mxu-prodlink&utm_medium=social 🚀 Personalized Coaching: https://getmxu.com/coaching?utm_source=youtube&utm_campaign=mxu-prodlink&utm_medium=social JOIN THE COMMUNITY Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/app.mxuInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mxu.app/ WHAT IS MxU?
