Podcasts about projects

In this episode of The WP Minute+ Podcast, Kurt and Toby look at the practical and emotional challenges of managing WordPress agency projects. From sales pitfalls to client relationship dynamics and infrastructure transitions, the conversation is packed with firsthand lessons and agency wisdom.Toby kicks off the discussion with a cautionary tale about losing a major deal due to poor energy and overexposure to meetings, a common struggle in client-driven work. Kurt emphasizes the importance of emotional readiness and shares his go-to mantra: focus on the relationship, and the transaction will follow. They discuss strategies for rescheduling meetings professionally when you're not at your best and the dangers of showing up unprepared.They also reflect on project management as the core skill of running a successful agency, noting that it often matters more than technical skills. They explore “the messy middle” of projects, sharing techniques for refocusing clients during chaotic phases. Kurt values minimal viable products and clear deliverables, while Toby relates these lessons to both web work and personal projects.Finally, they discuss when to let go of problematic clients or outdated tech stacks. Whether it's walking away from HostGator or reconsidering tools like Divi or ManageWP, both hosts agree: trust your gut, set boundaries, and don't let short-term financial needs sabotage long-term growth.Takeaways:Rescheduling a meeting when unprepared is better than pushing through and blowing the opportunity.Project management is often the most valuable agency skill, especially in larger contracts.In big projects, refocus clients by reiterating core business goals and pushing toward MVPs.Listen to your instincts when deciding whether to keep a client or tool, and don't ignore red flags.Website migrations and infrastructure shifts should be carefully planned, ideally with internal expertise.Clients rarely care about minor aesthetic tweaks; they want results and functionality.Important Links:Kurt's Agency: Mañana No MasToby's Agency: The Mighty Mo!Follow Kurt & Toby:LinkedIn: Kurt | TobyThe WP Minute+ Podcast: thewpminute.com/subscribe ★ Support this podcast ★

The approach of the Canadian Centre for Food & Ecology (CCFE) is what has been so attractive to me. It's a conviction around joyful, immersive experience and it starts with the conviction that until someone has experienced the sensory joy of experiencing food in a new way, there's little interest in understanding the facts or the cognitive issues surrounding our food system. One can focus on that which is the problem, and it truly is a problem, but way more compelling, way more attractive, is to think about food through the lens of it as a solution that invites people in.My conversation with Sarah Heynen, the executive director of the Canadian Centre for Food & Ecology (CCFE) in Tkaronto. Sarah is a strategic systems-thinker with a warm heart and a generous nature. Sarah introduced me to the Surviving the Future course which you heard about in episode 218. We mostly talked food, about artfulness and what it means to be inspired and inspirited by say a conversation or a meal. She also explained the Anishinaabeg 7th fire prophecy: a time when the light skin race needs to choose between a scorched earth path and a rainbow path leading to flourishing and the 8th fire. Show notes generated by Whisper Transcribe AIAction pointsRecognize culture's impact on food choices and environmental awareness.Understand the vital role of soil health in food quality and carbon sequestration.Support regenerative food systems by choosing alternative suppliers.Match motivated audiences with existing regenerative food producers.Embrace personal conviction and agency in making food-related decisions.Story PreviewImagine a world where every meal reconnects you with the earth.

For a dedicated whitetail hunter, there is no off-season. There are food plots to plant, stands to hang, cameras to run, and new spots to scout. You want to enjoy every second spent outdoors in pursuit of your hunting goals. But in the summer, the outdoors like to fight back. You're probably pretty familiar with the unholy trinity of summertime beasts–ticks, mosquitoes, and chiggers. But the plant kingdom can also be a formidable foe in the peak...

Have you got a history of partnering with women who are physically or emotionally unstable? Maybe they've got an insecure living situation (or chaotic/dangerous ex-partner). Perhaps they're financially challenged, or they've got serious issues with depression, anxiety, or other mental health issues.You may even have been with a partner who became so emotionally dependent on you that you became concerned that if you weren't there, she'd be in serious trouble -- might even hurt or kill herself. As Jason puts it, "If I remove myself from the situation, I don't know how my partner would survive."This episode is actually not about those women! ;) This episode is about the other side -- you.If you've wondered why you've repeated this pattern of attracting "projects," you've come to the right place. Here we break down what goes into the pattern of attracting women you feel you need to "save" or "rescue." We talk about the vulnerability involved in dating healthier women, as well as the immense payoff -- and how to get there.This episode will also resonate if you've ever felt burdened or resentful in your relationship -- like you're doing way more than your partner, and putting in more than you're getting back. We talk about the pain of feeling used ... and what to do about it.---Work with usWant to go deeper than the podcast? Jason and I are ready to work with you!

He shared his experience of starting with a four-track and drum machine, working multiple jobs, and finally signing a record deal in 1999.

In recent years broadband projects have been spreading through rural areas in Wisconsin to make sure everyone is connected. And some of these benefits are not just personal. Dave Daniels a part owner of Mighty Grand Dairy LLC in Kenosha County, shares how the inclusion of broadband on their farm has made life easier and even allowed them to get more advanced equipment. He says that the use of the broadband has allowed them to implement trackers on their cows that work like "Fit Bits." He also says that it has proven to be more cost efficient.

Byron & Francine Pirola say that the shared enjoyment of couple time often gets lost in the busyness of life. Couple projects offer a solution by providing dedicated time together. These shared ventures not only protect the marriage by redirecting affection inward but also build lasting bonds and a shared legacy.

You're not imagining it—your projects might actually be running you. If you've ever felt like your design clients are unclear, unsure, or unexpectedly intense mid-project, it's likely not a personality issue. It's a systems issue. In this episode, designer Shila Griffith of SG23 Design reveals the exact processes and boundaries that keep her projects running smooth, her team aligned, and her clients confident from start to finish. From her strategic intake forms to her “you paid for that three months ago” moment of bliss, Shila walks through the real-world fixes newer designers need to confidently lead their projects. This isn't about being cold or corporate—it's about clarity, structure, and trust. You'll learn: ✅ Why upfront pricing (yes, even 50%) calms client anxiety ✅ How to spot red flags in new client inquiries ✅ The conversation that prevents renovation freakouts before they happen ✅ What to say when clients want to buy their own stuff, and why boundaries boost your quality of life If you're an interior designer looking to finally feel in control of your client process (instead of constantly catching up), this is the episode that's going to help you get there.

When the geopolitical landscape changes, how do EHS leaders stay ahead? New leaders, shifting regulations, and evolving international relationships all impact how companies manage environmental, health, and safety responsibilities. In this episode, we hear from Angelique Dickson, co-host in this episode, President of the Inogen Alliance and EVP at Antea Group USA; Lida Tan, President of Anew Global Consulting in China; and Alex Ferguson, CEO of Antea Group UK. They share how companies are navigating changing circumstances in their respective regions. ---------Guest Quotes“ In the U.S., we're really looking at shifting regulations, where we're probably going to shift from a more federal-based system to a more state-based system, which means you've got a lot more uncertainty on what that's going to look like. So, I think the disrupting piece is where we're trying to make sense of some of those things that are happening and try to provide that forward look .” - Angie“ The leaders are still forging ahead, maybe in a quieter tone….maybe they're not broadcasting, or speaking in different terms, but we definitely feel that it has not slowed down. But, these are the leaders. Then you have the middle section - they're progressive, but they're not taking the strong leadership. I think they are quietly watching. They haven't slowed down, but they're not expanding either. The leaders are still leading. They're adapting to a slightly different strategy, and we're with them.” - Lida “ In the energy market, we are seeing more innovation and diversification of supply than we've seen before. Projects that might not have been given real consideration are moving forward quickly. That's partly driven by the need for energy security. It's partly driven by energy demand, which does link into the tech sectors, you know, AI and data centers generally, plus the need for that to be local and secure, is really driving that market forward.” - Alex ---------Time Stamps(00:00) Open panel discussion (01:18) The geopolitical landscape in each region (09:16) Where do we see leadership?(17:09) Advice for clients (25:09) What timeframe should companies be thinking in? (31:56) Key takeaways from hosts ---------Sponsor copyRethinking EHS is brought to you by the Inogen Alliance.

“You can't sue in the company's shoes. You're not coming in good faith!”___ShopCo had two 50% shareholders, P and D. Each of P and D were Cos. P's dir and D's dir were the dirs of ShopCo. ShopCo owned a retail centre with a possible value of ~$53m: [2], [3], [57]The dirs had a falling out: [3]D provided property services to ShopCo, with P's knowledge The arrangement was longstanding, but not reduced to writing: [5]Some of the services D provided were managing tenants, negotiating leases, collecting rent etc for ShopCo: [6]P alleged this work was real estate agent work and, as D was not a real estate agent, any commission should be repaid to ShopCo as a debt: [7] - [9]P sought leave to bring a claim pursuant to s237 leave to sue D for ~$700K it received on the above basis: [11], [12]Derivative action criteria (a) (will the Co bring the claim?), (d) (is there a serious question?), and (e) (notice requirements) were all met: [15]It remained for the Court to consider (b) (good faith), and (c) (best interests of ShopCo): [15](There is, with respect, a useful summary of some relevant derivative actions principles at [18] - [29])P's dir and D's dir ran similar developments together in the past. Their enmity appeared to arise from disagreements about other projects: [45], [46]Attempts were made by P and P's dir to cause ShopCo to pursue its alleged claims against D. Those attempts failed: [47], [48]In relation to the best interests test, the Court considered no decision was necessary due to a conclusion P was not coming in good faith: [61]In doing so, the Court considered the proportionality of the sum potentially claimed from D (~$700K) alongside the possibility of some costs being unrecoverable in any action (due to not being real estate agent work): [59]In considering good faith, the Court noted a successful applicant must show (a) honest belief in the cause of action's prospects, and (b) an absence of collateral purpose: [62]The Court gave 11 reasons (or perhaps up to 13: [66], [67]) for finding P did not come in good faith.Those included: (i) P put forward no basis for P's belief in the prospects of the claim, nor any legal advice on that point, (ii) there were real risks in the proceedings, (iii) a strong argument that D provided services at cost (i.e. for no benefit) was not addressed by P, (iv) the cost estimate of the proposed litigation was $500K for a possible $700K benefit, and (v) there was no suggestion of any defect in the services provided by D: [65]P's proposed course would see $500K in costs for a $700K return that would arise only if P's submission that ALL work done by D was “real estate agent work” succeeded. A commercial return required complete success for P. This pointed away from good faith: [67]Having found the P did not meet the good faith requirement, leave was not granted: [72]___Please follow James d'Apice, Coffee and a Case Note, and Gravamen on your favourite platform!#auslaw #coffeeandacasenotewww.gravamen.com.au

Episode Summary For many project managers, the urge to command every meeting and own every milestone feels natural. But veteran program manager Anisha Manvatkar proves that the most effective leaders often work in silence. In this conversation with Cornelius Fichtner she shares how “invisible leadership” unites purpose, communication, and AI-powered efficiency to deliver high-performing projects at Nvidia and beyond. Listeners hear why stepping out of the spotlight lets teams step up, how a clear “why” keeps momentum when priorities shift, and where AI can shoulder the busywork so people focus on innovation.

How housing policy failed the people it was designed to help -- and how to fix it As the US struggles to provide affordable housing, millions of Americans live in deteriorating public housing projects, enduring the mistakes of past housing policy. In The Projects: A New History of Public Housing (NYU Press, 2025), Howard A. Husock explains how we got here, detailing the tragic rise and fall of public housing and the pitfalls of other subsidy programs. He takes us inside a progressive movement led by a group of New York City philanthropists, politicians, and business magnates who first championed public housing as a solution to urban blight. From First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt to the controversial city planner Robert Moses, many well-known historical figures made a convincing case for affordable housing in America. Despite the movement's lofty ideals, the creation of the Projects led to the destruction of low-income communities across the country. From the Hill District in Pittsburgh to Black Bottom in Detroit, predominantly Black neighborhoods were judged only by the quality of their housing. Husock looks beyond these neighborhoods' physical conditions to their uncounted riches, from local artists like August Wilson to vital community institutions. As he shares residents' stories, he honors what they crafted through their own plans, rather than those of city planners. Husock traces the history of public housing to contemporary debates on the government's role in the housing market. Through interviews with residents, he reveals how public housing transformed the lives of Americans and the physical faces of cities and towns. He ultimately critiques "repair and reform" efforts, making policy recommendations that address the core failings of public housing for the people it was once designed to help. Mapping out a better path for policy-makers, he lays a new foundation for upward mobility in America. Learn more about your ad choices.

The opening date for a long suffering transit project in Toronto is a running joke across the GTA. The Eglinton L-R-T, a 25 stop above ground transit line, was set to open back in 2020. Since then, it's been continually pushed back because of a number of legal and construction issues. The cost ballooned from $5 billion dollars to $13 billion dollars, and dozens of businesses have shut down, blaming the impact from the years of construction. Although it's expected the L-R-T will start running September, there is no firm opening date although the project reached a critical milestone this week. Host Richard Southern talks about the project with CityNews journalist Nick Westoll. We love feedback at The Big Story, as well as suggestions for future episodes.

In today's episode of Construction Genius, we dive deep into a powerful leadership framework that can transform how you run your construction projects — the Fighter Pilot Mindset based on John Boyd's legendary OODA loop. In fast-paced, high-risk environments — whether it's a fighter jet or a complex construction site — the speed and quality of your team's decision-making can make or break project outcomes.   Yet many construction leaders today face persistent challenges: ✅ Bridging the gap between office leadership and field crews ✅ Balancing safety and productivity under constant schedule pressure ✅ Driving real-time decision-making on job sites that are always changing ✅ Building a job site culture where workers are empowered — not micromanaged ✅ Improving communication between leadership and the front line That's where the OODA loop — Observe, Orient, Decide, Act — comes in. Originally designed for fighter pilots in life-or-death combat, this mental model helps leaders and crews think faster and act smarter — without sacrificing safety. My guest today is Stokes McIntyre, CEO of MindForge, who brings a unique background in both film production and construction technology. Stokes is passionate about helping construction leaders apply OODA loop thinking to close the field-office communication gap and create job sites where safety and speed reinforce each other — not compete.   RESOURCES Website - mindforgeapp.com   LinkedIn Handle - linkedin.com/in/stokesmcintyre/  Insta -  instagram.com/mindforgellc/   X - x.com/MindForge   Facebook - facebook.com/mindforgeinc  Company LinkedIn - linkedin.com/company/mindforgellc  Restaurant Recommendation - giuseppesritrovo.com/
