Click here to share your favorite car, car story or any automotive trivia!In this episode, Doug and Dave are getting a little grease under their nails with Matthew Valbuena, a Project Manager for Mazda's North American Operations R&D division. Matthew oversees the development of Mazda's in-vehicle technologies and human interfaces, balancing the demand for cutting-edge connectivity with Mazda's core "driving first" philosophy.Matthew takes us on an incredible automotive journey, starting with his first vehicle: a lowered 1994 Toyota Pickup complete with a $163 monthly payment and a Nintendo 64 in the glovebox. We dive into the heavy-bass nostalgia of 90s car audio, carrying around $1,500 worth of CDs in Case Logic wallets[cite: 1], and the era of Fast & Furious tuner culture.But the most fascinating part of Matthew's story is how his upbringing shapes the cars we drive today. Growing up with deaf parents, his first language was American Sign Language (ASL). He shares how this visual-first perspective perfectly suited him for a career in UI/UX design. You will learn why gesture controls are a nightmare for the deaf community, why every dashboard beep must have a visual cue, and how he used to install 1500-watt subwoofers in his dad's Benz so he could physically feel the music.Don't miss Matthew's favorite episode with Jon from Mazda USA: https://buzzsprout.com/2316026/episodes/16805989Plus, stick around for our Mazda trivia question: What surprisingly unrelated product did Mazda manufacture when it was founded in 1920?Learn more about Mazda:Explore their latest tech at www.mazdausa.comFollow @MazdaUSA on Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and YouTubeConnect with Us: Got a great car story?

Join golf course superintendents, assistant superintendents, and industry leaders at the Leadership on the Links Summit on October 12, 2026, at Toftrees Resort in State College, Pennsylvania. The day focuses on personal branding, leadership development, and building high-performing teams. Register at https://bloomgolfpartners.com/our-events/ Introduction Few superintendents have become as closely associated with a single property as Michael Morris, CGCS (Retired), whose 38-year career at Crystal Downs Country Club in Frankfort, Michigan earned him the 2023 Golf Association of Michigan Superintendent Award of Merit. His green speed research with Dr. Thomas Nikolai of Michigan State University has influenced how superintendents manage putting surfaces and communicate expectations to golfers. Today, Morris serves as Project Manager for the Michigan Golf Course Association's Golf Course Maintenance Technician Registered Apprenticeship Program, where he mentors apprentices and the superintendents who train them. On this episode of Leadership on the Links, host Tyler Bloom speaks with Morris about stewarding an Alister MacKenzie and Perry Maxwell design, using data to build member trust, and developing the next generation of golf course professionals. What You'll Learn in this Episode: • Morris explains why he remained at Crystal Downs for 38 years, crediting a club culture grounded in family, legacy, and long tenure rather than turnover. • Maintaining a MacKenzie and Maxwell design required balancing modern expectations, such as lower mowing heights and firmer, faster greens, with a steady commitment to preserving the course's original character. • A multi-year green speed study with Dr. Thomas Nikolai led Crystal Downs to communicate a target green speed range rather than a single number, supported by daily measurements and member surveys. • Working effectively with changing green committee chairs, board members, and club presidents depends on adaptability, open communication, and a shared focus on the club's long-term interests. • Clubs seeking to raise their standards should align expectations with available resources, prioritize what their golfers value most, and plan for irrigation, cart paths, and bunkers 10 to 20 years in advance. • The MGCA Registered Apprenticeship Program, built on U.S. Department of Labor standards, combines on-the-job training, 144 hours of GCSAA online coursework, and state pesticide applicator certification toward journey worker status. • Apprenticeships strengthen both the apprentice and the supervising superintendent, helping clubs retain skilled staff in their local communities while sharpening the skills of those who train them.

What the F* Is Happening in Poland's Construction Market? Poland has changed — dramatically.Twenty years ago, hundreds of thousands of Polish workers were leaving the country in search of better opportunities across the UK, Ireland, Germany and wider Europe.Today, the picture looks very different.Poland is now a trillion-dollar economy, its construction industry is delivering tens of billions of euros worth of work, and the country has a major pipeline across infrastructure, energy, nuclear, manufacturing, defence and data centres.But there's another side to the story.Polish construction professionals have built an exceptional reputation internationally — and their experience is increasingly in demand across Europe.In Episode 175 of The Take Off Podcast, I take a deep dive into Poland, its construction market and why Polish engineers, project managers and commercial professionals could be particularly well positioned for the next wave of European construction.We discuss:
I want you to be able to set your sights on a few projects and actually complete them each trimester. So here's the way I get my projects identified, scheduled, and completed. I love a good project, always have. What Are The Projects? First, let's define "project" in Organize 365® terms. It's a massive to do list that gets done in a short amount of time. So, for Labor Day, I shared all the things that had ended up on index cards that I wanted done on Labor Day weekend. I had garage tasks like clean off the garage counter, make room for a potential Christmas gift, drop off donations, fix the front door situation plus a few other things. Then Joey needed me to look at some stuff in his condo that I wanted to check off my list. Abby and I planned on redoing Grayson's room. And wanted to transition one of the storage areas to Abby. Those tasks were grouped into my four projects. Be Prepared Once all of the projects were identified, I needed to make sure I had all the supplies I needed to tackle each one. Leading up to Labor Day I mentioned this too, you need to be prepared before Project Day. So for redoing Grayson's room, I thought through all of the supplies I needed and how I would get them to the house. I needed to check current supplies at the house, coordinate Greg picking up items from the office, order some pictures for the walls and bedding, and schedule the electrician to change the light fixture. It can really rob time away from your project day if you plan that day to get what you need and depending on store hours, it can really delay the project start time. Also, a friendly reminder to start that housework early so you don't have to do that too on project day. Make Room on the Calendar It's time for calendaring!! It's important to identify chunks of time that you will have for your projects and it's equally important to consider your usual energy at the time of those chunks. There was one I was explaining and said "Actually I'll push that to Sunday so I can spend time with my family on Saturday." It's a good idea to mentally walk through project day and make sure it's right for you and your family. And don't double book yourself. Don't just think you'll do the project in that chunk of time, schedule it. Write in the project on that day so you don't accidentally commit to something else at that time. You gotta budget your time like you do your finances because you really can't spend your money in two ways. This is your way to be proactive with your time. I say you basically get 8 hours extra, not three days, when it comes to these long weekends? Here's how I broke down of the 8 hours I anticipated from Labor Day: Garage & Front Door 3.5 hrs Joey 2 hrs Grayson's Room 1.5 hrs Storage Area 1.5 hrs This is how you get deep work or projects done as a household project manager.

Sometimes hyperthyroidism is straightforward, and other times… management takes the long and winding road. In this Partner Podcast episode, Dr. Audrey Cook joins Dr. Beth to discuss the unmasking of chronic kidney disease following treatment of feline hyperthyroidism and review strategies for the monitoring and long-term management of cats with both conditions. Tune in for a practical framework for methimazole trials, the role of an FDA-approved oral methimazole solution, and treatment decisions in complex patients.Sponsored by VirbacContact us:Podcast@instinct.vet Where to find us:Website: CliniciansBrief.com/PodcastsYouTube: Youtube.com/@clinicians_briefFacebook: Facebook.com/CliniciansBriefLinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/showcase/CliniciansBrief/X: @cliniciansbriefInstagram: @clinicians.brief The Team:Beth Molleson, DVM - HostTaylor Argo- Producer, Sound Editing, & Project Manager, Brief Studio IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Felanorm® (methimazole) Oral Solution: As with all methimazole products, wear protective single use, impermeable (e.g., latex or nitrile) gloves when administering the solution. The most commonly reported side effects in cats are anorexia, vomiting, head/facial pruritus or edema, depression/lethargy, weight loss, anemia, elevated liver enzymes, skin lesions, elevated BUN, diarrhea, and thrombocytopenia. In some reported cases, the patients recovered after adverse reactions were recognized, the drug was withdrawn, and veterinary care was applied. Methimazole has anti-vitamin K activity and may induce bleeding diathesis without evidence of thrombocytopenia. Not for use in pregnant or lactating queens. Not for use in cats with primary renal or hepatic failure, autoimmune disease, or with hematological disorders (see the full prescribing information for additional details).

Why "over-communicating" isn't about saying more — it's about knowing exactly what your stakeholders need to hear, and when. What happens when a project manager goes silent? According to this episode of Project Management Happy Hour, nothing good. Left in an information vacuum, stakeholders don't assume the best — they assume the worst. That single insight sits at the center of a conversation about project leadership, stakeholder communication, and the quiet skill that separates good project managers from great ones: knowing exactly what to say, to whom, and when. If you've ever been accused of "running dark" on a project, or been told to simply "communicate more" without any idea what that actually means, this episode is for you. Kate and Kim open up about their own early missteps as project managers — Kim recalling a boss who relentlessly demanded he "over communicate" without explaining what that looked like in practice, and Kate admitting that while she never struggled to talk to her own team, she took years to learn how to communicate effectively up and out to executives and sponsors. Their honest, back-and-forth storytelling style — equal parts practical and funny — turns what could be a dry topic into a genuinely useful conversation about project delivery and leadership communication. Grab a drink and join us. Quotes from the Episode "The human brain is not nice. It takes lots of therapy and or meditation to tell yourself nice stories... if you're in an information vacuum, because our brain wants to protect us from bad things happening." — Kate Anderson "Data is meaningless without context and contrast." — Tim Creasy (as quoted by Kim) "It's not that it's meaningless. It's that it's vulnerable to misinterpretation without context and contrast." — Kate Practical Takeaways The information vacuum effect — In the absence of updates, stakeholders default to negative assumptions rather than neutral or positive ones. Communication baseline calibration — New project managers often start with a communication baseline that is far lower than stakeholders actually need. Bottom-line-up-front (BLUF) messaging — Lead with the specific action or decision needed, then follow with supporting context. Self-service reporting channels — Creating an always-available update source (chat channel, dashboard, bulletin) reduces stakeholder anxiety and unplanned interruptions. Narrative ownership in project leadership — Framing project updates as a story you control, rather than a list of data points, shapes how stakeholders perceive project health. Closing Reflection The episode's real throughline is ownership: the best project managers don't just report facts, they own the narrative of their work. As Kate puts it, data without context and contrast is vulnerable to misinterpretation — and if you don't tell the story of your project, someone else's imagination will tell it for you.
Check out Lake.com claim your exclusive discount: https://www.lake.com/partners/behind-the-stays — Every few weeks, someone emails me a vision for a stay they want to build. Edoardo is one of the rare ones who actually went and built it. Before Nature Nooks, he was a startup co-founder and product manager who'd done a stint as a senior program manager at Dollar Shave Club. Then he walked away from tech, bought seventeen acres of raw land in Sullivan, Maine, and — in a single summer — stood up a glamping retreat of three Scandinavian cabins and two mirrored domes. What makes his story worth studying is the tension running through it. Edoardo approached this like a real estate investor and a project manager, the kind of operator who builds a hundred-row spreadsheet of cabin suppliers and works a glamping trade show with a pen before breaking ground. And yet what he built is anything but clinical — every unit is named after the night sky and, at the same time, after a woman in his family, from Gaia for his grandmother to Vesta, the Roman goddess of home and hospitality, for his mother. In this episode, we get into the decisions a lot of you keep asking me about. Why he chose Maine over the obvious glamping markets like Colorado or Arizona, and how regulations, cost, and proximity to Acadia National Park all factored in. Why he landed in Sullivan rather than Bar Harbor proper, and how sitting between the two halves of Acadia became a feature rather than a compromise. Why the local regional bank understood his forecast when the big national banks kept saying no — and how a ping pong event had something to do with it. How he's testing not just unit types but the amenities inside them, from telescopes to tubs to which dome gets the early reviews. And why he's deliberately holding his ADR below market in year one and treating it as a marketing expense, optimizing for occupancy, reviews, and learnings over short-term rate. It's a masterclass in doing your homework and then actually jumping — and a reminder that the difference between the people who email me an idea and the people who build something real usually comes down to whether they were willing to figure the rest out along the way. https://naturenooksacadia.com — Behind the Stays is brought to you by Journey — a first-of-its-kind loyalty program that brings together an alliance of the world's top independently owned and operated stays and allows travelers to earn points and perks on boutique hotels, vacation rentals, treehouses, ski chalets, glamping experiences and so much more.

Welcome to a new season of The Midlife Feast! I'm kicking off this season by naming the mindset that might be making things harder: treating your body, midlife, and menopause like an ongoing project to manage. I walk through what that costs, how it shows up in real life, and how we can shift from obsessive optimization to a steadier partnership with our bodies, including:• the core question that changes everything: what if your body wasn't a project to solve? • the moving finish line and why “enough” never arrives • the audit mode where meals and movement become performance metrics • how tracking, wearables, and nonstop data can disrupt body attunement • the betrayal narrative and my own reminder that these thoughts can show up even after years of intuitive eating • shifting from project manager to partner and the questions that create ease Related EpisodesThe One Thing Menopause Dietitians Want You to Know About Nutrition with Laura Clark, RDWhy You Don't Trust Yourself Around Food (and How to Rebuild It) with Fiona SutherlandHow to Appreciate Your Changing Menopause Body with Dr. Charlotte OrdWant more support?Free Un-Diet Your Mindset Guide→ https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/undietyourmindsetJoin my Group Coaching Community free for 7 days → https://www.menopausenutritionist.ca/7daytrialBook a no-strings connection call (virtual coffee with me) → https://p.bttr.to/3DQX9SFAnd if you've loved today's conversation and found it helpful, please share it with a friend who needs to hear this and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

For many project professionals, the job title that once felt like a marker of progress can eventually start to feel like a box. And with AI disruption, shifting responsibilities, and increasingly blurry career paths, figuring out what comes next means looking beyond the label on your LinkedIn profile.Galen Low sits down with career coach and former project professional James Compton to unpack “career dysmorphia”: the disconnect between a career that looks successful on paper and one that feels draining, flat, or directionless in practice. They explore how to recognize when your professional identity has become too tied to your title, create space to rethink what actually energizes you, and use disruption as an opportunity to rediscover the value and purpose underneath the role.Resources from this episode:Join the Digital Project Manager CommunitySubscribe to the newsletter to get our latest articles and podcastsConnect with James on LinkedInCheck out Limitless Leading and The Career Dysmorphia Dossier

Grenadian, single parent professional Project Manager, Sandra Jones moved to Saint Lucia for work, initally on a 3 year contract. Recalling similarities between her "Spice Isle" and the "Helen of the West", she decided to put down roots there. As her contracts got extended/renewed, she decided to make her time on the island count and as she puts it "I operate where I'm dropped" - and decided to buy land and build. What happens when you put your trust, your money and your dream into the hands of a contractor, and things dont go according to YOUR plan?Hear Sandra's deeply personal story about taking on a construction project as a single woman, the challenges she encountered with her contractor, and the difficult battle that followed. But Sandra's experience raises a much bigger question:What is it really like for a woman to build alone in the Caribbean?Are women treated differently by contractors and tradespeople?How do you protect yourself when you don't have construction experience?What should you put in place BEFORE handing over your money?And when a project goes badly wrong, how do you find the resilience to start again?Drawing directly from what she went through, Sandra gives practical advice to single women considering building their own homes or investment properties — including what she believes women should do differently to protect themselves, reduce their risks and improve their chances of successfully completing a construction project, including an income property.
In this warm and deeply human episode, Elena Armijo sits down with certified coach, writer, and Late to the Party host Sophie Ragir for a conversation about creativity, courage, and the stories that convince us we are somehow behind. Sophie brings honesty and humor to the experience of building something new while still wrestling with perfectionism, fear, and the desire to have it all figured out first. Check out Elena's website to learn more about how she can support you in seeing and using the power that resides within you. Elena begins with a coaching reflection on moving at the speed of scared rather than waiting for readiness. Growth rarely begins once fear disappears. It happens through the repetitions that gradually teach us we can move forward while fear is still present. Sophie's own journey brings this idea to life. "Late to the Party" began with a familiar thought: maybe she had waited too long to start. Rather than letting that belief close the door, she became curious about how much of life we miss when we assume our timing is wrong. Creating the podcast has become a practice in being seen while still learning, experimenting publicly, and allowing the work to evolve in real time. Sophie also reflects on the difference between self-improvement and self-acceptance. Sometimes growth is less about becoming someone new and more about returning to parts of ourselves we learned to leave behind. That same honesty shapes the way Sophie thinks about self-trust. There is freedom in letting go of the need to have every answer, say everything perfectly, or wait until fear disappears. The work is in continuing to show up, tell the truth, make mistakes, repair when needed, and keep moving toward the life she wants to create. This episode is a gentle reminder that there is no perfect timeline for becoming who you are meant to be. Sometimes the next chapter begins simply by trusting yourself enough to start before you feel ready. Let's Get Social! Want to hear more from Elena? Click here!

Under Construction: Renovating A Home, Redeeming An Industry
This week, we welcome Tanya's husband and newest team member, Ryan Weltzin, to talk about his move from a 20-year career as a journeyman plumber into his new role as a project manager at Big Fish Contracting. We get into what went into making that decision, what it's been like learning a whole new side of construction, and why sometimes the best next step in your career is the one that pushes you outside your comfort zone. Ryan shares what he's brought with him from the trades and how those hands-on years have helped him step into project management. From learning new technology and juggling schedules to working with homeowners, subcontractors, and the Big Fish team, there's been a lot to figure out. And of course, Tanya shares her perspective on what it's like to have your spouse join the family business when you're both fully invested in the same company. You'll hear what Ryan has learned during the transition, how his experience in the trades still shapes the way he approaches projects, and what makes the Big Fish team feel like more than just a workplace.

Every growing landscape company hits a wall. The owner is doing sales, operations, and admin all at once and the business starts to cap out. In this episode of Roots of Success, McFarlin Stanford Founding Principal Jason New breaks down one of the most common owner blind spots: not having a hiring roadmap. Jason walks through exactly which roles to separate and when: from the first split between sales and operations at $3–5M, to the construction and maintenance-specific roles that unlock $10M and $15M. This episode is practical, specific, and built on McFarlin Stanford's experience working with hundreds of landscape companies. THE BIG IDEA: The Hats You're Still Wearing Are Probably the Reason You've Stopped Growing KEY MOMENTS: [00:45] The Core Problem: Owners Do Everything — Sales, Operations, Admin — and Eventually Hit a Wall [02:30] The First Separation: Who Manages the Work You're Selling? [03:00] The $3M–$5M Playbook: First Operational Hire, First Office Manager [05:30] From $5M to $10M: Separating the Roles More Deliberately [06:00] Construction at $10M: Design/Build Salesperson, Project Manager, and Field Superintendent [07:30] Maintenance at $10M: Business Developer, Operations/Production Manager, and Account Manager [10:00] Finance at $10M: Why Your Office Manager Can't Scale With You Forever [11:30] From $10M to $15M: New Specialty Roles That Start to Emerge [14:30] Maintenance Leadership at Scale: Why You Need a Division Manager Earlier Than You Think [16:00] The Ask: Think in Three-Year Windows, Not Just the Next Hire Questions we answer. How do I know when it's time to hire my next person? What's the first role I should separate when I'm trying to get out of doing everything myself? What does a $3M–$5M landscape company org structure look like? How does the team structure need to change going from $5M to $10M? What's the difference between a project manager, field superintendent, and account manager? Why does a maintenance company need a division manager at a lower revenue threshold than construction? What does a business developer actually do — and is it a full-time role? When does it make sense to hire an estimator vs. having salespeople estimate their own work? What does a finance manager or controller do that an office manager can't? How do I build a three-year hiring roadmap instead of just reacting when things break? What are the most common hiring mistakes owners make as they scale from $5M to $15M?

Trying to conceive can affect so much more than your fertility. It can change your sex life, create resentment, bring old trauma and insecurities to the surface, and leave couples feeling more like roommates than partners. In this episode, Dr. Leah breaks down some of the most common relationship dynamics she sees during a difficult TTC or infertility journey, including the project manager and avoider, silent grievers, sex on schedule, and the unequal burden dynamic. She also shares practical ways to communicate your needs, involve your partner, protect intimacy, shift unhealthy patterns, and create a stronger foundation for the parenthood you're working toward. Most importantly, if trying to conceive has changed your relationship, you're not alone, and it doesn't mean your relationship is doomed.00:00 Trailer + Intro01:43 How Trying to Conceive Can Affect Your Relationship02:47 When TTC Starts Changing Your Relationship05:07 When Sex Becomes a Chore06:43 The Vicious Cycle of Libido and Disconnection10:06 How Hard Times Bring Old Wounds to the Surface11:43 When Fertility Changes the Relationship Dynamic16:04 The Project Manager and the Avoider18:39 Give Your Partner the Map20:06 The Silent Grievers21:13 Sex on Schedule and Unequal Burden25:35 The Hidden Grief of Trying to Conceive27:30 The Micro-Griefs Women Carry30:32 When Your Partner Doesn't Know How to Show Up33:05 Creating the Support You Actually Need35:30 Reconnecting With Joy and Your Identity37:46 Giving Your Partner a Clear Role41:37 Letting Go of Control43:48 Protecting Polarity and Connection49:28 What Your Partner Can Actually Do51:50 Protecting Your Relationship During TTC55:07 Breaking the Resentment and Disconnection Cycle57:27 Getting Support and Processing the Hard Stuff60:44 Building a Stronger Foundation for Parenthood63:03 You Are Not AloneResources From This Chapter: The Queen's Code book by Alison Armstrong - https://www.amazon.com/Queens-Code-Alison-Armstrong/dp/B01DAYC348/The Queen's Code Podcast Episode: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Kx1WKOBj6ByS9BWrMm3fH?si=afc6a448f29a40a1 Healthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

Barry Rosen has spent decades at Interaction Associates, a firm he joined in 1984 after being drawn to their focus on making meetings more effective. He began his career training teams at Ford, Dow, and DuPont during the early era of quality initiatives, teaching engineers and project managers how to facilitate meetings and navigate interpersonal dynamics. He went on to lead the training division at Interaction Associates for a decade, building out programs in facilitative leadership. Over the years he has trained consultants at firms including McKinsey, Bain, and PricewaterhouseCoopers, helping highly analytical professionals strengthen the human side of their work. His current focus is Essential Facilitation for Project Managers, a program built around the growing number of project managers seeking these skills. What You Will Learn Listeners will hear why facilitation is a teachable skill rather than an innate trait, and how it applies directly to running better meetings and better projects. Barry explains the three dimensions every skilled facilitator manages: results, process, and relationship. He and Michael discuss how artificial intelligence is changing the analytical side of project work while making the human and emotional side more important than ever. The conversation covers why so many AI initiatives stall, often because teams never clarified their outcomes or ownership before deploying the technology. Barry also walks through how project managers are evolving into process consultants who understand stakeholder needs, build agreements, and guide teams through structured problem solving rather than jumping straight to solutions. Episode Highlights Barry traces his path from joining Interaction Associates in 1984 to training engineering teams at Ford, Dow, and DuPont during the early push for quality and consensus based collaboration in American manufacturing. He describes the moment facilitation and collaborative leadership merged into a single discipline, and how that shift fueled a decade of growth in his training programs. Michael shares a personal story about a healthcare clinic project that had to be rebuilt in six weeks after a change in scope, illustrating how communication gaps derail even well managed projects. Barry connects this to his concept of collaborative intelligence, the ability to build agreements and reach outcomes that work for a group rather than any single person. The discussion turns to AI agents joining meetings as active participants, with Barry predicting this will become a normal part of how project teams operate. He closes by describing the upcoming Essential Facilitation for Project Managers program, set to launch in September.

What happens when you strip away the expectations of work, family, and public life? According to Hulisani Ravele, you find your "fullness." In this intimate conversation, Hulisani and I explore the transformative power of the passport. Hulisani shares her evolution into a meticulous "Project Manager" of her own joy and we delve into the spiritual weight of Morocco, the "un-Hulisani" chaos of Amsterdam, and the visceral thrill of the F1 paddock. This episode is a call to action for every professional woman to view travel not just as an escape, but as a non-negotiable act of self-reverence and a reward for the hard work of living.

In this episode, Ricardo discusses rework, one of the most damaging yet invisible costs in projects. Rework occurs when presentations, software, proposals, plans, or decisions must be redone because expectations, requirements, or responsibilities were unclear. Although teams appear busy, they may simply be returning to a point they believed they had already reached—paying multiple times for a result. The later an error is discovered, the greater its impact, which shows that speed does not always mean efficiency. Ricardo highlights avoidable rework caused by haste, poor communication, ambiguous decisions, weak planning, and unvalidated requirements. He suggests measuring not only completed work, but also how much had to be repeated. True efficiency means transforming effort into results with minimal waste. Want to know more?

On this Iron Sights episode recorded live on the vendor floor at TTPOA Conference, Scott Howell sits down for a collab with the TTPOA Podcast hosts Brandon Hernandez and Matt Smith. Their guests are Brad Ortiz, Director of Sales for the Law Enforcement Division at Silencer Shop and former officer, and Dewayne Manson, Project Manager at the American Warrior Association, to dig into the thing the Law Enforcement community has been slow to confront: the compounding weight of moral injury, and why the reactive system built to support officers is failing the people who need it most.The conversation goes deep on what moral injury actually is, how it differs from PTSD, and why the officer who has never been in a critical incident can be just as broken as the one who has. Brad and Dewayne walk through what a culturally competent clinician actually looks like, why baseline brain and blood health mapping belongs in the academy, and how the American Warrior Association's R3 program is embedding proactive resilience training directly into TTPOA's regional structure, the first partnership of its kind nationally.But this episode isn't just about mental health. It's about identity. What happens to the guy who IS the job when the job ends? Brad gets personal about his own struggles stepping away from full-time law enforcement, Dewayne shares the moment his teenage son had to pick him up after a DUI, and Scott connects it all to the broader truth that your calling and your identity are not the same thing, and that confusing the two is costing officers their health, their relationships, and sometimes their lives before and after retirement.The back half gets into the business world and how everything these men learned going through doors, managing teams, and serving their communities translates directly into relationship-based sales, leadership under pressure, and building something that outlasts the badge. If you've ever told yourself you're not capable of anything outside law enforcement, this one is going to challenge that story hard.In this episode:• Moral injury is NOT PTSD: it is the cumulative damage caused when you perpetrate something, fail to prevent something, or are ordered to act against your moral compass, and it compounds silently over an entire career without a single critical incident ever being the trigger• Culturally competent clinicians are practitioners who have lived the lifestyle or are married to someone who has: Dewayne walked out of his first VA appointment when the counselor opened with pronouns, then found a female therapist married to a 20-year infantry veteran and experienced a completely different outcome• The American Warrior Association's R3 program is building proactive resilience frameworks inside agencies, including regional resiliency coordinators, vetted clinician networks, and fully funded Warriors Refuge retreats where flights and lodging are free to eligible officers and spouses• Brad Ortiz's Sound Off program at Silencer Shop donates $2 per purchase to a vetted nonprofit fund, and every individual officer purchase routes through silencershop.com where buyers work directly with Brad and Chris• The inflection point analogy: moral injury deposits are made silently every shift, just like compounding interest, and what looks like a single critical incident blowing up is actually the hockey-stick moment on a years-long accumulation nobody was tracking• Social media pile-ons after a justified OIS caused Brad more lasting moral injury than the shooting itself, a blind spot no clinician or debrief ever addressed until he found the right cultural fit in counseling• Baseline blood panels and brain mapping done at the academy level would give officers a before-and-after reference for physiological change across a career: the greater endocrine system and brain health are being completely ignored while TRT gets all the attention• The law enforcement skill set transfers directly into business leadership: problem-solving under pressure, decision-making without perfect information, ownership of mistakes, and relationship-first sales are all things operators have already built on the job, they just don't recognize it as a resumeChapters:0:39 Iron Sights mission statement and welcome2:02 Introducing Brad Ortiz and Dewayne Manson2:49 Brad's background: The Uncommon Line podcast9:40 American Warrior Association programs overview11:43 Resilience training inside TTPOA: the first of its kind12:08 What moral injury actually is and why it's not PTSD14:20 Culturally competent clinicians: Dewayne's personal story31:52 Compounding critical incidents over a career38:37 Social media pile-ons as a hidden source of moral injury44:55 Identity vs. calling: challenging how officers define themselves1:12:18 Relationship-first sales, legacy brands losing ground, and the business parallel1:21:46 How to access AWA, R3, and SoundOff resourcesMentioned:Brad Ortiz — Director of Sales for the Law Enforcement Division at Silencer Shop, former law enforcement officer and fugitive investigator, and former host of The Uncommon Line podcast, joined as a guest to discuss the SoundOff program and the AWA partnership.Dewayne Manson — Representative of the American Warrior Association, infantry veteran who served in Afghanistan and contracted there through 2020, shared his personal journey through moral injury and recovery as context for AWA's R3 program.Matt Smith — Co-host of the TTPOA podcast with 21 years on SWAT, co-hosted this live conference episode alongside Scott Howell and competed in the TTPOA shooting competition the day prior.Brandon Hernandez — Region 7 Director and Director of Training for TTPOA, co-host of the TTPOA podcast, referred to on air as the celebrity of the group when a passerby stopped to greet him.Anna Heil — Associated with the American Warrior Association, attended a TTPOA show in St. Louis and briefed other state organizations on the AWA partnership afterward.Chris — Works alongside Brad Ortiz at Silencer Shop on the SoundOff individual officer program, mentioned as a direct point of contact buyers will reach at soundsoftshop.com.Neil Noakes — Former Chief of Police of the Fort Worth Police Department, cited as an example of a career officer who, when asked how many critical incidents he had been on, simply said he had lost count.Simon Sinek — Author and speaker known for the concept of finding your 'why,' referenced when Brad Ortiz challenged every officer in the room to examine the deeper reason behind their career and identity.

Summary In this episode, Andy welcomes back his friend Stuart Taylor, a PMO leader and PMI PMO Awards judge, author of Becoming the Project Manager. Most of us didn't grow up dreaming of leading projects. We drifted into the role, and then discovered it's far less about plans and methodologies than it is about people, pressure, and learning to lead while you yourself still feel unsure. Stuart shares the story behind the book, including the university project where he publicly chastised a teammate and the response from his dad that changed how he understood leadership. He and Andy dig into the real value and limits of PM certifications, why AI can help you communicate but can't replace the human part, the stakeholder questions younger Stuart was afraid to ask, what his mentor Wayne taught him about proximity and follow-through, and why a new sponsor has to be sold on your project rather than assumed into it. You'll also hear the 30-minute CV rule and the trouble it once caused him. If you're looking for an honest, human look at what it actually takes to become the project manager, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Well, now that you've reprimanded that person, you do realize you've got to go and pick them back up again?" "So going out into the world with this as my toolkit, and I thought it was a toolkit, but actually it turned out to be more like a life raft because I ended up clinging onto it without reasoning at an early point in my career." "There's an awful lot that falls between the processes, and that's what the early part of the book is really exploring." "I don't believe there's great value in repeatedly recycling the same learning over and over and over again. I think there's much greater value in taking that energy and going to learn something about your industry, the, actual industry that you're working in." "And also, I should add, you will have greater value to them by being there too, because you're the interesting change person in the room then, rather than one of another 200 change people walking around all talking about the same methodologies." "So be the person who is not avoiding hearing about challenges, but actively seeking them out, and cataloging them, and managing them." "Something else I've learned: they don't like you tiptoeing around them." "But if anybody's having to go into the office more frequently now, go and spend some of that time sitting with the people whose world you are changing." "But if your own leader, the person who's supposed to be championing you in the organization just doesn't get it, then you've got an impossible task on your hands." "When your sponsor goes or leaves and somebody else comes in and replaces them, don't just assume that, that because they've now been told they're gonna have to be the sponsor of your project, that they understand it and they can see the value in it." "Every project that you work on, the benefits, they are your accomplishments." "There is no point in being loyal to organizations. Be loyal to people."
