What if governance didn't feel like bureaucracy, but like momentum?In this episode, we sit down with Amireh Amirmazaheri to explore how modern PMOs grow from “project admin” to strategic partner by blending trust, clarity, and creativity. We trace Amireh's path from teaching and early IT architecture to leading major PMO transformations, showing how turning complexity into simplicity builds credibility and lasting value.Together, we unpack the practical side of PMO impact:Simple, human measures that leaders actually feel, from pain scores before and after interventions to meeting turnout, repeat attendance, and the moment teams begin to use your language without prompting. These signals often say more than dashboards ever could, because they prove adoption, not just activity.We also explore how to tailor PMO services to fit industry, maturity, and culture, avoid “lift and shift” models, and use visual storytelling to make strategies memorable. A snail can represent slow delivery; a campfire can symbolize alignment. When people remember the picture, they act on the plan.The conversation dives into global PMO trends, from the growing strategic influence of PMOs and the PMO-CP certification, to updates to the PMO Value Ring, now expanding its focus to include PMO strategy, design, and governance, with a new outer layer on organizational maturity, culture, and structure.In this episode we discuss: 0:00 — Welcome and Guest Introduction 2:45 — Early Career and Entrepreneurial Roots 6:20 — From IT Operations to Projects 10:45 — Discovering PMO and Finding Purpose 15:05 — Building Trust and Credibility 20:30 — Defining Value and Simple Metrics 26:10 — Fit-for-Purpose PMOs and Tailoring 31:20 — Mindset Shifts and Risk Conversations 35:40 — Bringing Creativity into Governance 41:10 — Global Trends, Awards, and PMO Identity 47:30 — PMO Value Ring Updates and PMO-CP 53:20 — Elevating PMOs Outside the Bubble 58:00 — Closing Advice and Calls to ConnectIf you've ever wondered how to make a PMO indispensable to the business, this episode is your playbook: build Support the showThank you for listening to Agile Ideas!

Anthony Scilipoti is one of the sharpest minds in investing. He's the President and CEO of Veritas Group of Companies. He called the collapses of both Valeant Pharmaceuticals and Nortel before they happened, and now he has some thoughts on AI. We talk about asking better questions, reading the fine print, the role of short selling, and what it means to be wrong. We explore why AI gives you information but not insight, why cheap risk is often the most expensive, and why nothing matters until it does. It's a conversation about the difference between seeing and understanding and the discipline to notice what everyone else ignores. This episode is not investment advice.

When there's a high degree of trust, especially in teams, the sky's the limit.   Flexibility, community, excellence, collaboration and growth, and then proximity to leadership.

This week The Geoholics dive deep into the heart of the geospatial community with the rising leaders of the ASPRS Early Career Professionals Council — Jordan Hicks, Greg Stamnes, and Riley O'Donnell From lidar to leadership, mentorship to momentum, these three are proving that the next generation of mapping pros is fired up and ready to shape the industry's future. Jordan, Greg, and Riley share what drew them to ASPRS and why getting involved early changed everything. They talk about building confidence, seizing opportunities, and the power of showing up — even when you feel like the new kid in a room full of experts. The trio dives into what makes mentorship the secret sauce of career growth. From the ASPRS Mentors Podcast to hands-on guidance from industry veterans, they unpack how authentic mentor-mentee relationships can transform careers — and why giving back is the ultimate ROI. Breaking into photogrammetry, remote sensing, and GIS isn't easy. The guests discuss imposter syndrome, limited exposure to field tech, and how ASPRS provides the network, training, and inspiration to overcome those hurdles — one peer connection at a time. Drones, AI, and automation are reshaping how we collect and use geospatial data. The conversation explores how ASPRS can bridge the academic–industry gap, keeping early-career professionals ahead of the curve while honoring the science's roots. Leadership isn't about titles — it's about influence. These young pros share how they're learning to lead through service, communication, and collaboration within ASPRS while balancing growing careers of their own. Each guest offers their “aha” moment — from career-defining mentorships to community wins — and leaves listeners with one powerful piece of advice: Get involved. Stay curious. And remember — the geospatial world only moves forward when we move together.

For too long we believed that success meant playing it safe. Keep your prices low. Wait until you “deserve” to raise your rates. Build a huge following before anyone will take you seriously. Those lies kept us small, and they might be holding you back too.The truth is, growth happens when you decide to stop waiting and start owning the value of your work.

They are booking you because of your artistry, your confidence, and the way you show up in your business.This episode is your reminder that raising your prices does not push clients away, building real planner relationships is more powerful than going viral, and your most profitable year yet is closer than you think.If you are ready to step into the business you know you are capable of building, join us for our free two-day training, Your Most Profitable Year Yet. Inside, we will show you how to shift your strategy, attract luxury clients, and make 2026 the year everything changes.
