Xmas Special: Why project management tools fail software development - and what works instead! In this BONUS episode, we dive deep into The Project Management Trap, continuing our exploration from Episode 1 where we established that software is societal infrastructure being managed with tools from the 1800s. We examine why project management frameworks - designed for building railroads and ships - are fundamentally misaligned with software development, and what happens when we treat living capabilities like construction projects with defined endpoints. The Origin Story - Where Project Management Came From "The problem isn't that project management is bad. The problem is that software isn't building a railroad or a building, or setting up a process that will run forever (like a factory)." Project management emerged from industries with hard physical constraints - building the Transcontinental Railroad in the 1860s, coordinating factory machinery, managing finite and expensive materials. The Gantt chart, invented in the 1910s for factory scheduling, worked brilliantly for coordinating massive undertakings with calculable physics, irreversible decisions, and clear completion points. When the rails met, you were done. When the bridge was built, the project ended. These tools gave us remarkable precision for building ships, bridges, factories, and highways. But software operates in a completely different reality - one where the raw materials are time and brainpower, not minerals and hardware, and where the transformation happens in unique creative moments rather than repeated mechanical movements. The Seductive Clarity Of Project Management Artifacts "In software, we almost never know either of those things with certainty." Project management is tempting for software leaders because it offers comforting certainty. Gantt charts show every task laid out, milestones mark clear progress, "percent complete" gives us a number, and a defined "done" promises relief. The typical software project kickoff breaks down into neat phases: requirements gathering (6 weeks), design (4 weeks), development (16 weeks), testing (4 weeks), deployment (2 weeks) - total 32 weeks, done by Q3. Leadership loves this. Finance can budget it. Everyone can plan around it. But this is false precision. Software isn't pouring concrete where you measure twice and pour once. Every line of code is a hypothesis about what users need and how the system should behave. That 32-week plan assumes we know exactly what to build and exactly how long each piece takes - assumptions that are almost never true in software development. The Completion Illusion "Software products succeed by evolving. Projects end; products adapt." "Done" is the wrong goal for living software. We expand on the Slack story from Episode 1 to illustrate this point. If Slack's team had thought in project terms in 2013, they might have built a functional tool with channels, direct messages, file sharing, and search - shipped on time and on budget by Q2 2014, project complete. But that wasn't the end; it was the beginning. Through continuous user feedback and evolution, Slack added threaded conversations (2017), audio/video calls (2016), workflow automation (2019), and Canvas for knowledge management (2023). Each wasn't maintenance or bug fixing - these were fundamental enhancements. Glass's research shows that 60% of maintenance costs are enhancements, not fixes. By 2021, when Salesforce acquired Slack for $27.7 billion, it bore little resemblance to the 2014 version. The value wasn't in that initial "project" - it was in the continuous evolution. If they'd thought "build it, ship it, done," Slack would have died competing against HipChat and Campfire. When Projects Succeed (Well, Some Do, Anyway) But Software Fails "They tried to succeed at project management. They ended up failing at both software delivery AND project management!" Vasco references his article "The Software Crisis is Real," examining five distinct cases from five different countries that represent what's wrong with project thinking for software. These projects tried hard to do everything right by project management standards: detailed requirements (thousands of pages), milestone tracking, contractor coordination, hitting fixed deadlines, and proper auditing. What they didn't have was iterative delivery to test with real users early, feedback loops to discover problems incrementally, adaptability to change based on learning, or a "living capability" mindset. Project thinking demanded: get all requirements right upfront (otherwise no funding), build it all, test at the end, launch on deadline. Software thinking demands: launch something minimal early, get real user feedback, iterate rapidly, evolve the capability. These projects succeeded at following project management rules but failed at delivering valuable software. What Software-Native Delivery Management Looks Like "Software is unpredictable not because we're bad at planning - it's unpredictable because we're creating novel solutions to complex problems, and in a completely different economic system." If not projects, then what? Vasco has been exploring this question for years, since publishing the NoEstimates book. The answer starts with thinking in products and capabilities, not projects - recognizing that products have ongoing evolution, capabilities are cultivated and improved rather than "delivered" and done, and value is measured in outcomes rather than task completion. Instead of comprehensive planning, we need iteration and constant decision-making based on validated hypotheses: start with "We believe users need X," run experiments by building small and testing with real users, then learn and adapt. Instead of fixed scope, define the problem (not the solution), allow the solution to evolve as you learn, and optimize for learning speed rather than task completion.  The contrast is clear: project thinking says "We will build features A, B, C, D, and E by Q3, then we're done." Software-native thinking says "We're solving problem X for users. We'll start with the riskiest hypothesis, build a minimal version, ship it to 100 users next week, and learn whether we're on the right track." The appropriate response to software's inherent unpredictability isn't better planning - it's faster learning.

"Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering" - Fact 42: "Enhancement is responsible for roughly 60 percent of software maintenance costs. Error correction is roughly 17 percent. Therefore, software maintenance is largely about adding new capability to old software, not fixing it."

In this episode, we break down one of the most underrated, yet most influential parts of ACL rehab: step count. While most athletes focus on rehab, graft types, or protocol milestones, the real day-to-day needle-mover early on is often the simplest: how much time you spend on your feet. I share the exact step-count framework I use with athletes, including how to set realistic baselines, manage swelling, avoid early setbacks, and apply the “dimmer switch” principle to rebuild tolerance week by week. From crutch progressions to real-life examples of how "short walks" and trips can derail an early-phase knee, this episode gives ACLers and clinicians a practical blueprint for keeping the knee quiet, happy, and ready for the bigger work ahead. If you're in the first 6–12 weeks after injury or surgery, this might be the most important episode you listen to.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

You've probably noticed that life insurance rarely comes up in wealth management conversations. When it does, it's usually dismissed with vague rules about income levels or net worth thresholds that don't actually mean anything. We think that's a problem worth addressing. In this episode, we explore why cash value life insurance deserves a seat at the wealth management table. You'll hear about the specific attributes that make it valuable—not as a path to massive wealth multiplication, but as a solid complement to your other investments. We cover the tax efficiency advantages that go beyond simple tax deferral. You'll learn how life insurance distributions don't count toward provisional income calculations that determine Social Security taxability. We explain how they also avoid triggering IRMAA surcharges on Medicare Part B and D premiums. These benefits become increasingly valuable as your retirement income grows. We discuss the predictability advantage life insurance offers compared to market-based investments. While we're not anti-index funds or real estate, life insurance doesn't require Monte Carlo simulations with 85% success probabilities. You get much greater certainty in your income planning. The conversation also covers how life insurance eliminates the constant reallocation decisions that come with traditional portfolios. You won't find yourself wondering whether to de-risk before a market correction or trying to time your next move. It simply continues doing what it does consistently well. We emphasize throughout that life insurance isn't a replacement for everything else in your wealth management strategy. It's one tool that should work alongside your other investments, sized appropriately for your personal situation and risk tolerance. The key is starting decades before you need it. ______________________________ Ready to explore how life insurance fits into your wealth management strategy?

Points of Interest00:00 – 01:30 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes Parakeeto's Kristen Kelly back to discuss a recurring misconception in agency operations—the belief that a better project management or PSA tool can solve profit management challenges.01:30 – 03:25 – The PM Tool “Silver Bullet” Myth: Kristen explains how leaders and PMs often adopt new tools to tame chaos, believing marketing promises that they'll also solve utilization, capacity, and profitability issues.03:25 – 06:00 – Why Agencies Fall for It: Marcel and Kristen note that while PM tools are valuable, they're often oversold as full profit-management systems. Agencies end up frustrated by missing fields, tool quirks, and data limitations.06:00 – 08:45 – Hitting the Wall: Many teams find themselves with tools that improve delivery workflows but still leave them unable to make key financial or operational decisions because the data remains fragmented across systems.08:45 – 11:43 – Introducing the Framework → Data → Process Model: Marcel outlines Parakeeto's three-part sequence for solving profit management: define the framework (metrics and formulas), structure the data, and establish ongoing processes for hygiene and cadence.11:43 – 12:46 – Why Sequencing Matters: Without first defining what needs to be measured, agencies make poor configuration choices in PM tools—creating rework, confusion, and endless tool migrations.12:46 – 15:19 – Defining the Framework: Agencies must precisely define how metrics like utilization, delivery margin, and project profitability are calculated, and understand the relationships between those measures before configuring tools.15:19 – 19:54 – The Role of Process and Data Hygiene: Marcel explains that real-time reporting fails if data quality is poor. Clean, reliable reporting requires an ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) process, not direct reporting from source data.19:54 – 22:55 – The Precision Trap: Kristen and Marcel explore the conflict between PMs needing granular precision and executives needing simple, high-level rollups. Forcing perfect data consistency across teams destroys usability and compliance.22:55 – 26:28 – Practical Limits of In-Tool Reporting: Marcel describes how building detailed profitability reporting directly in PM tools creates unsustainable complexity, unrealistic data maintenance, and unreliable results.26:28 – 34:38 – Building a Sustainable Data Architecture: They outline how Parakeeto's ETL pipeline works—extracting time data (person, project, hours), joining it with payroll and project grids, normalizing fields, and applying ongoing QA to ensure accuracy.34:38 – 42:37 – The Big Takeaway: Kristen and Marcel conclude that PM tools are essential for delivery but not the whole profit solution. Agencies should use them for managing work while relying on a clear framework and data pipeline for accurate reporting.Show NotesConnect with Kristen via LinkedInFree Agency ToolkitParakeeto Foundations CourseFree access to our Model PlatformLove this Episode?Leave us a review here.

Points of Interest0:00 – 1:14 – Introduction & Context Setting: Marcel introduces Carson Pierce, Parakeeto's Head Consultant, to discuss project management tools in the agency space and the fundamentals that remain relevant despite ever-changing software options.1:14 – 4:01 – Common Tools Used by Agencies: Carson outlines the most frequently used project management tools among Parakeeto clients, highlighting Asana, ClickUp, and Teamwork, and noting the emergence of all-in-one solutions like Scoro.4:01 – 6:02 – Complexity of the Tool Landscape: Marcel emphasizes the oversaturated, overlapping software market and categorizes tools by function—core PM, all-in-one, and emerging database-like tools like Notion and Airtable.6:02 – 8:20 – Evolution & Blurring Tool Categories: Discussion on how tool capabilities are converging, with time tracking and resource planning platforms increasingly offering PM features, making distinctions between categories less clear.8:20 – 13:01 – Prioritizing Workflow over Tool Choice: They argue that enabling smooth team workflow is more important than picking the “right” tool, especially since tools change often but foundational processes must endure.13:01 – 17:03 – Why Tools Fail to Deliver Reporting: Marcel explains that no platform offers fully automated, reliable reporting due to inconsistent data inputs, evolving structures, and platform limitations in data visualization.17:03 – 20:57 – ETL Framework for Reliable Reporting: They introduce the Extract-Transform-Load (ETL) approach as a best practice, outlining how agencies can clean and structure messy data outside their tools for accurate reporting.20:57 – 24:02 – Structuring Data for Better Insights: Carson and Marcel explore how to align time tracking, estimates, and project categorization by writing logical rules that map inconsistent inputs into standardized outputs.24:02 – 27:20 – Ensuring Trustworthy Data: Emphasis on creating repeatable logic statements and reducing manual input to increase data reliability, and avoid costly decision-making based on inaccurate data.27:20 – 30:05 – When & How to Choose a New Tool: They outline a responsible selection process—start with workflow mapping, validate with team input, and avoid changing tools unless truly necessary to avoid unnecessary disruption.30:05 – 32:11 – Cautions Against Overengineering Implementations: Marcel advises keeping implementations simple and avoiding overly rigid structures that fail when team behavior inevitably deviates from ideal input patterns.32:11 – End – All-in-One vs. Best-of-Breed Tools: Final thoughts on the cyclical industry shift between all-in-one and specialized tools, noting the decision should hinge on agency maturity, flexibility needs, and workflow alignment.Show NotesConnect with Carson via LinkedInGet access to this model tool in the toolkitParakeeto Foundations CourseFree access to our Model PlatformBook: Software as a ScienceLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

In this episode, Stephanie Boyles-Griffin, Jessica Tegt, Steve Demarais, and Bronson Strickland discuss the complexities of urban deer management, exploring the challenges posed by growing deer populations in urban areas. While recreational hunting remains the most effective and practical tool for population control in most settings, an increasing number of circumstances—especially in urban and suburban areas—render it unfeasible. Stephanie and Jessica, both from the Botstiber Institute, outline non-lethal and alternative methods commonly used to manage deer in these environments and walk through the series of decisions required to evaluate which techniques are appropriate and how likely they are to succeed.  Below, Stephanie and Jessica have provided resources if you are interested in learning more.

Child psychiatrist and entrepreneur Marissa Caudill discusses her article, "How a customer relationship management tool (CRM) can help physicians regain control and beat burnout." She argues that a significant driver of physician burnout is the lack of control within systems that prioritize metrics and administrative tasks over meaningful patient connections, leaving doctors feeling overwhelmed and disconnected. Marissa proposes that physicians can regain control and find more joy by implementing their own systems, specifically highlighting the power of customer relationship management (CRM) tools. She explains how a HIPAA-compliant CRM allows physicians to automate communication (like newsletters, check-ins, scheduling), enhance patient relationships, manage educational content, and ethically market their services—reframing marketing as connection—all while freeing up time. Marissa shares her transformative experience using a CRM with AI features in her parent coaching practice, enabling greater impact and easier communication. Ultimately, she contends that such tools help physicians focus on patient care, build financially stable practices potentially beyond insurance constraints, and reconnect with their original purpose.

Dr. Christian Conte is one of America's most accomplished mental health specialists in the field of anger and emotional management. In this episode, he shares the deeper principles behind Yield Theory - a powerful model of change that integrates radical compassion, conscious education, and Eastern philosophical insights such as non-attachment. With over twenty-five years of clinical experience, including extensive work with violent offenders, Dr. Conte brings grounded clarity to some of the most challenging emotional landscapes. Central to his approach is the idea that anger often arises not from what's happening, but from the clash between our expectations and reality. He introduces the concept of the “cartoon world” - a mental projection of how we think others should behave - and how its collapse gives rise to frustration and rage. By recognizing these inner dynamics, we gain the ability to respond thoughtfully, rather than reactively. Dr. Conte shares practical, accessible tools for real-time emotional regulation. His “maybe” technique invites uncertainty into rigid thinking, helping to calm the limbic system by engaging the frontal cortex. His “sans adjectives” method shows how stripping emotionally charged language from our descriptions can reduce escalation and bring clarity. We also explore the interplay between the body and mind in shaping emotional states, the differences between types of anger - from hot anger to seething resentment - and the necessity of humility and present-moment awareness in therapeutic work. He reflects on his personal journey into this field, what it has taught him about human behavior, and why meeting people exactly where they are is essential for real connection and change. This conversation offers both practical insights and a deeper invitation: to meet ourselves and others with presence, precision, and radical compassion.Author of numerous books including Walking Through Anger, Dr. Conte is the creator of Yield Theory. His books are used by institutions around the world to train counselors. He currently trains correctional institutions, sports teams, and organizations in the practical application of his Yield Theory Anger Management Program. He was a tenured professor at the University of Nevada, Reno, before he left the West Coast to return to his home state of Pennsylvania where he currently lives with his wife and daughter.youtube.com/drchristiancontedrchristianconte.comLiked what you heard?

Dr. Fiona Lovely is a longevity, health and wellness expert with specialties in menopause medicine, functional neurology and functional medicine.  She is speaking to the topics of women's health around perimenopause and menopause.  Today I welcome Sarah Kennedy, founder and CEO of Calocurb, for an insightful conversation demystifying weight management and appetite modulation, particularly in the context of perimenopause and menopause. Discover the physiological changes women experience at midlife, the often-frustrating weight gain, and the truth behind cravings and willpower.  Key Discussion Points: The Menopause Weight Struggle is Real: Many women experience frustrating weight gain during perimenopause, with the SWAN study indicating an average gain of 22 pounds. Often, the advice given is simply to eat less, which overlooks significant physiological shifts. Physiological Changes at Midlife: Understand the impact of dropping estrogen levels, decreasing metabolism, changes in fat distribution (visceral fat), and increased insulin resistance during perimenopause. The Myth of Willpower: Learn why hunger and eating are primal, biologically controlled instincts originating in the hypothalamus. Stress, hormones, lack of sleep, and alcohol can easily override frontal lobe willpower. The Importance of Protein and Muscle Mass: Maintaining muscle mass is crucial during menopause to prevent sarcopenia and frailty. Ensure adequate protein intake (around 120 grams for post-menopausal/perimenopausal women is suggested) and engage in resistance exercise.  This is especially important when using one of the weight-loss injectables. Sarah Kennedy's Story: Sarah shares her personal journey of yo-yo dieting and how Calocurb (a GLP-1 activator) has positively changed her relationship with food. Her background in R&D for a major dairy company also highlights her passion for protein and muscle health. Hope for Post-Menopause: Sarah offers an encouraging perspective, sharing that she is the same size now as she was at 25 and feels at peace. Many women find that life gets better on the other side of menopause. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the physiological factors influencing weight during menopause and explores a natural, scientifically-backed approach to appetite modulation with a GLP-1 activator like Calocurb. It emphasises that hunger is not simply a matter of willpower and offers hope and practical strategies for managing weight and cravings at midlife and beyond.

Market Proof Marketing · Ep 376 - The Best Project Management Tool? The One You'll Use!Kevin Oakley is back this week, and is joined by Julie Jarnagin and Beth Russell. This week's episode kicks off with a funny story from Kevin about being everyone's best friend, and shifts into story time, covering insightful calls with builders the team has had recently. News stories discussed include Google lifting its 2019 ban on fingerprinting for advertisers, a deep dive into the effectiveness of builder incentives, AI readiness in homebuilding, and a new task manager blog written by DYC's very own, Samantha Kellenberger!Story Time (04:40): Julie has been working on her IBS presentation around brand consistency, and how providing guardrails (using LEGO as a great example) keeps things consistent while using user generated content. Kevin follows-up surrounding a recent conversation about creating rules, and showcasing content to inform certainty. Beth had an interesting call with a company owner, who referenced the Hippocratic Oath that doctors make -- do no harm -- and tied it to their website. For example, putting too much information out there and over-engineering what you're showcasing can cause more harm than good. Kevin reminds: until you hit a minimum lead quantity, you don't get to complain about lead quality! Kevin spoke to a builder this week who has one community performing very differently than others despite having similar processes for marketing. Using GA4's path exploration tool, he noticed that the options people were clicking most were the items right in the center/most obvious. He encourages marketers to use this tool, and view it from the eyes of a customer. Mobile reality can't be ignored or fixed -- you can only do so much on a mobile screen. In The News (28:13): Google just lifted its 2019 ban on fingerprinting for advertisersGoogle now allows advertisers to track users across devices and websites, collecting data points like IP addresses, operating system details, and screen resolution.Kevin's hunch is we only see this live for a short time before it's taken away again, but they'll collect a significant amount of data in the meantime.The Cost of Incentives: Have Buyers Come to Expect Perks?Are consumers addicted, are builders addicted, or both?Kevin recaps the importance of the messaging of "new," and how you don't have to offer the biggest new incentive, you need to lean into how consumers want to stay informed. One nuance discussed is how some customers don't qualify without them.The Seven Stages of AI Readiness In Homebuilding From hype to impacti, AI is more than a buzzword. Julie loves the advice to evaluate AI vendors with a critical eye, and reminds you that if you're headed to IBS, there will be a lot of buzzwords, but you need to ask great questions and "pull back the onion."You need to have a clear process on how your business operates before you can layer in AI -- rethink workflows not just technology. Avoid AI for AI's sake -- start with clear business goals. Which Task Manager Tool is Best for Your Team?The best project management tool is the best one everyone in your organization will use! If you're looking into using a task manager to help your team (Monday, Asana, Trello, etc.) she outlines the pros and cons to help you make an informed decision.Beth remembers wanting to implement something for her team, and asking Kevin how to get started, and thinks the ease-of-use summary was so helpful in the blog. Come for the writing, stay for the summary chart! Things We Love - Things We Hate (53:38):Beth has entered "Masters season" in the Augusta area, and is fascinated by how intertwined it is into the culture. She is equally obsessed and perplexed. Julie is in the midst of Mardi Gras, in full king cake and parade season. But her favorite thing is going to thrift stores, and loves the hunt. Kevin's favorite is the Hollyland Lark M2S Microphone, which is extremely small, and is a great price for 2 mics. Like and subscribe on your favorite platform!

The agency's strategy of fostering innovation through collaboration with universities and private companies underpins much of the progress in tech we see today, illustrating how government initiatives have historically catalyzed transformative breakthroughs.The Symbiosis of Government and Big Tech: A recurring theme is the deeply intertwined relationship between governments and big tech companies. From providing cloud services to pioneering research projects, companies like AWS and Oracle play a vital role in national operations, emphasizing how modern economies depend on these partnerships to push forward technological frontiers.Generative AI and Science Evolution: Ekue Kpodar discusses how generative AI is revolutionizing fields like biology and chemistry. Tools like protein folding models and molecule generators are paving the way for breakthroughs in medicine and materials science, demonstrating how AI can accelerate complex research that previously required vast resources and specialized teams.Centralization vs. Decentralization: The episode delves into how societal systems toggle between centralized and decentralized models. While the U.S. strikes a balance, contrasting approaches like China's centralized focus highlight the impact of governance structures on innovation and societal organization.Philosophy of Accelerationism: The discussion explores accelerationism, a concept arguing that the rapid advancement of technology and capitalism could lead to societal upheaval, potentially necessitating a systemic restart. This philosophical lens is applied to understand the dissonance between human values and the unchecked growth of AI and economic systems.AI as a Management Tool and Existential Threat: Both hosts ponder the future role of AI in society, ranging from its potential to replace human managers with algorithmic oversight to Elon Musk's controversial stance on merging humanity with AI through initiatives like Neuralink. These reflections underscore the growing influence of AI in shaping human interactions and decisions.Imagination and the Cost of Knowledge: The advent of AI significantly lowers the cost of generating and accessing new knowledge, which raises profound questions about how humanity will adapt. The hosts speculate on how AI might impact creativity, societal evolution, and even the formation of entirely new paradigms that transcend existing frameworks of understanding.

#SCOTUS: On "price-gouging" home mortgage "subsidizing" and other micro management tools. Richard Epstein, Hoover Institution https://www.forbes.com/sites/jamesbroughel/2024/08/22/harriss-proposed-ban-on-price-gouging-stirs-debate-on-price-controls/ 1910 AURORA, NEVADA

If there's one thing that'll make or break your real estate portfolio, it's property management. When done correctly, property management can feed you consistent, passive income without the everyday stressors of being a landlord. Whenever you hear people talking about bad tenants, midnight phone calls, or surprise maintenance problems, they're really talking about property management gone wrong. So, how does a rookie real estate investor, with even just one rental property, start managing the right way so they can scale their portfolio faster?  Amelia McGee and Grace Gudenkauf, authors of The Self-Managing Landlord, did it all wrong initially. They were picking up every tenant phone call, placing every service request, taking rent payments every which way, and here's the thing—none of it was working. As they scaled their portfolios, things only got more difficult until finally, one day, they stopped and developed a system, and like that, their businesses took off. Now, only a few years into real estate investing, both Amelia and Grace have dozens of rental units to their names and less stress than ever before. How did they do it all WITHOUT hiring everything out to a property manager? In today's show, they'll share the self-managing principles they used to explode their rental portfolios while staying sane! And if you're a new investor or are about to be one, these tips could save you YEARS of headaches!  In This Episode We Cover Why EVERY real estate investor should be self-managing when building their portfolio How to start building your property management “system” that'll save you HOURS a week What brand new investors NEED to start doing once they have their first property  Three apps/software that every real estate investor should have  Tenant selection 101 and simple mistakes that could cost you months of rent  How to know it's time to start outsourcing and signs you need some help  And So Much More!
