Podcasts about projects

In this week's Interview Classic podcast, we jump back to ten years ago this week (2-25-2016) when PWTorch editor Wade Keller welcomed Jim Ross back to the show for well over two hours of in-depth discussion on Shane McMahon's return and the McMahon family dynamic, Steve Austin's potential role at WM32, the WM32 line-up in general, the conundrum with Roman Reigns and whether he should turn heel, Jim Ross's latest projects coming up with New Japan and CBS Sports boxing events, and much more including live callers and email topics.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/wade-keller-pro-wrestling-podcast--3076978/support.

In this deeply personal and wide‑ranging episode of Equine Assisted World, Rupert Isaacson speaks with longtime colleague and friend Karla Brahms of Wellenreiter in the Odenwald, Germany — a region steeped in myth, forest, and living horse culture.What begins as a conversation about equine‑assisted practice unfolds into an intimate exploration of grief, love, resilience, and the sacred role horses play in helping humans navigate life's darkest passages.Karla shares her evolution from decades of forest‑based therapeutic riding with children into her current work integrating NIG (Neuro‑Imaginative Gestalt) constellation methods with horses. Through spontaneous drawing, embodied awareness, and equine presence, she helps clients access inner wisdom beyond intellectual processing.The conversation then turns to the death of her husband, musician Jan, and the profound grief that followed. Karla speaks openly about ritual, laying out the body at home, identity loss, and how horses — through presence, warmth, and simple being — helped her remain anchored in the present.This episode explores what modern culture has lost around death and ceremony — and how horses may help us reclaim a more honest, embodied relationship with grief.If you want to support the show, you can do so at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/LongRideHome

Recent analysis from Goldman Sachs indicates that $700 billion in AI investment during 2025 resulted in no measurable U.S. GDP growth, with most AI equipment imports negating domestic benefits and 80% of surveyed firms reporting no productivity or employment improvements. This pattern suggests that AI-related spending has primarily shifted margins from enterprise IT budgets to a small number of infrastructure vendors rather than delivering distributed value. Internal concerns are rising, with 90% of IT leaders questioning AI's return on investment, and 80% citing fragmented data as a primary challenge to measuring outcomes. Further context reveals that agentic AI initiatives face operational headwinds: Gartner expects 40% of such projects to be cancelled by 2027, and S&P Global found nearly half are abandoned before production, most often due to inadequate planning and data foundations. Margin erosion is widespread, attributed to AI implementation costs, and attempts to scale AI agents into production remain limited by inference costs and insufficient infrastructure. Despite increased adoption efforts, sustainable value delivery from AI platforms remains elusive for most organizations. Enterprise AI access is becoming increasingly concentrated. OpenAI's partnership with consulting firms such as BCG, McKinsey, Accenture, and Capgemini consolidates control of the enterprise distribution layer, narrowing competitive opportunities for smaller providers. Meanwhile, Amazon's 13-hour AWS outage, linked to the misconfiguration of an internal AI tool, underscores the liability ambiguity in agentic systems—where vendors may attribute autonomous actions to user error, complicating risk assignment. Additional updates from vendors such as Anthropic, Cloudflare, and New Relic address incremental technical capabilities, with a distinct focus on cost, operational governance, and policy enforcement. The prevailing themes for MSPs and IT leaders are increased scrutiny of AI value, heightened exposure to cost and accountability risk, and the emergence of managed service opportunities around data governance, cost instrumentation, and liability management. With enterprise market channels consolidating and risk shifting toward service providers, integrating robust contractual definitions for autonomy, incident attribution, and financial boundaries is essential to limit harm and clarify responsibility before incidents occur. Four things to know today 00:00 Goldman: $700B AI Spend Delivered Near-Zero U.S. GDP Growth in 2025 03:49 OpenAI Enlists BCG, McKinsey, Accenture to Distribute Enterprise AI Agents 06:44 Report: Amazon's Own Engineers Prefer Claude Over Its Mandated Internal Tools 08:56 AI Inference Costs Are Falling — But Governance Gaps Are Growing This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by: CometBackup  Small Biz Thoughts Community   

One year ago, I sat with Eneko Elosegui at a restaurant overlooking the ocean near his home in St Jean De Luz, a Basque seaport famous for jai alai, artisan patisseries, and being one of the oldest whaling ports in Europe. Today's meeting was less picturesque; instead, carried out remotely on a generic conferencing platform. But the subject matter was lively and somehow more inspiring than a plate of Poulet Basquaise and a view of the Atlantic. How? Well, announcing that you have 5 surf park projects in the works and shovels in the ground is a huge deal. In this podcast, Eneko shares how being raised in the family development business, becoming an engineer, working at Wavegarden and surfing, have all merged together into his current role to take on the world of wave pools.

Send a textCross-functional projects don't usually fail because people aren't working hard. They struggle because accountability blurs, decisions stall, and execution discipline quietly erodes under complexity.In this episode of Lean by Design, Oscar and Lawrence explore why managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects is more fragile than most teams realize. In matrix structures, individuals juggle competing priorities, roles become loosely defined, and governance often depends more on personalities than design. Work continues but consistency in delivery starts to drift.Rather than framing this as a collaboration issue, the conversation reframes it as an execution health problem. The hosts unpack how unclear scoping, diffused accountability, and delayed decision-making create operational risk long before a project officially “fails.”This episode also introduces the thinking behind the 3.1 Cross-Functional Project Execution Health assessment, designed to help teams diagnose how consistently they deliver complex initiatives and identify the structural gaps putting delivery at risk.Complex projects demand more than effort. They demand execution discipline!!

In this episode, Carly and Joe sit down with Bobby Klinck, Harvard Law grad and founder of Plainly Legal, to break down the legal basics every solopreneur should handle early without getting scared, overwhelmed, or spending $5,000 on day one. Bobby explains the “prevention vs cure” approach to legal protection, the fast checks that can save you from a painful rebrand, and the biggest copyright mistakes that trigger expensive demand letters.You'll learn what to prioritize first, what you can safely DIY, and how to avoid the most common traps (like using a brand name without a trademark search, grabbing images from the internet, skipping contractor agreements, and misunderstanding what an LLC actually protects).Plus: Bobby shares how to get a free legal audit so you can see what you need, without paying a lawyer just to understand the basics.Links & Resources: Plainly Legal (look for “Start Free” to run the free legal audit)FAQsDo I need a privacy policy on my website? In most cases, yes, especially if you collect visitor data (analytics, email opt-ins, cookies). A privacy policy is the one website document Bobby says is typically legally required.Can I use images I find online if I give credit? Usually no. Most images are protected by copyright, and “credit” doesn't equal permission. Use licensed images, free-use sites, or your own/AI-generated visuals.Can an LLC stop someone from suing me personally? Not for your own actions. An LLC can help limit certain business liabilities, but it doesn't make you lawsuit-proof, especially if the claim is tied to what you did.

A global oil surplus is poised to disappear as population growth and artificial intelligence stoke crude consumption, according to the head of Baker Hughes Co. The company, one of the world’s largest oilfield service providers, sees demand beginning to recover in the second half of this year into 2027, Chief Executive Officer Lorenzo Simonelli said during an interview with Bloomberg's Matt Miller and Dani Burger.

Your numbers might look healthy.Revenue's up. Projects are flowing. The pipeline feels… fine.But underneath? Margins are eroding. Cash is tighter than you'd like. And no one's totally confident in the data they're using to make decisions.In this episode of The Handbook, Harv Nagra sat down with finance and business ops advisor Robert Patin to unpack what's really going on beneath the surface of many professional service businesses right now – and why operational maturity is the difference between surviving and thriving.Here's what we dive into:

Life is full of projects. Some are fun, like my album project of 2026, and some are less fun, like cleaning out a garage. But we all have them, will continue to have them, and you can probably think of one that needs doing right now. It's nice to have some tools to lean on that help you get better at projects, to start projects you'll finish, and finish projects that matter to you.

Brian #1: Better Python tests with inline-snapshot Alex Hall, on Pydantic blog Great for testing complex data structures Allows you to write a test like this: from inline_snapshot import snapshot def test_user_creation(): user = create_user(id=123, name="test_user") assert user.dict() == snapshot({}) Then run pytest --inline-snapshot=fix And the library updates the test source code to look like this: def test_user_creation(): user = create_user(id=123, name="test_user") assert user.dict() == snapshot({ "id": 123, "name": "test_user", "status": "active" }) Now, when you run the code without “fix” the collected data is used for comparison Awesome to be able to visually inspect the test data right there in the test code. Projects mentioned inline-snapshot pytest-examples syrupy dirty-equals executing Michael #2: jolt Battery intelligence for your laptop Support for both macOS and Linux Battery Status — Charge percentage, time remaining, health, and cycle count Power Monitoring — System power draw with CPU/GPU breakdown Process Tracking — Processes sorted by energy impact with color-coded severity Historical Graphs — Track battery and power trends over time Themes — 10+ built-in themes with dark/light auto-detection Background Daemon — Collect historical data even when the TUI isn't running Process Management — Kill energy-hungry processes directly Brian #3: Markdown code formatting with ruff Suggested by Matthias Schoettle ruff can now format code within markdown files Will format valid Python code in code blocks marked with python, py, python3 or py3. Also recognizes pyi as Python type stub files. Includes the ability to turn off formatting with comment [HTML_REMOVED] , [HTML_REMOVED] blocks. Requires preview mode [tool.ruff.lint] preview = true Michael #4: act - run your GitHub actions locally Run your GitHub Actions locally! Why would you want to do this? Two reasons: Fast Feedback - Rather than having to commit/push every time you want to test out the changes you are making to your .github/workflows/ files (or for any changes to embedded GitHub actions), you can use act to run the actions locally. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides. Local Task Runner - I love make. However, I also hate repeating myself. With act, you can use the GitHub Actions defined in your .github/workflows/ to replace your Makefile! When you run act it reads in your GitHub Actions from .github/workflows/ and determines the set of actions that need to be run. Uses the Docker API to either pull or build the necessary images, as defined in your workflow files and finally determines the execution path based on the dependencies that were defined. Once it has the execution path, it then uses the Docker API to run containers for each action based on the images prepared earlier. The environment variables and filesystem are all configured to match what GitHub provides.

Most interior designers come into this career because they love design. They love creating beautiful spaces, developing a strong design vision, and dreaming up what's possible for a home. But what many designers don't realize—until they're already in it—is that great design alone is not enough to create successful residential projects or happy clients.I see this all the time with newer designers and even experienced creatives who feel overwhelmed, underpaid, or constantly putting out fires. They know how to design, but the execution feels stressful. Projects run long. Budgets get blurry. Contractors feel intimidated. Install days feel chaotic. And suddenly, the career you thought would feel creative and fulfilling starts to feel exhausting.In this episode, I'm breaking down the practical business and project skills interior designers must develop to execute with confidence residential design projects. These are the skills that separate hobbyists from professionals. When you strengthen these areas—project management, pricing strategy, contractor relationships, construction literacy, installation logistics, and leadership—you don't just survive projects. You lead them with clarity, confidence, and profitability.What You'll Learn in This Episode✔️ Why project management separates hobbyists from professionals✔️ How to build trust with contractors and trades✔️ Pricing strategies that protect profitability✔️ Construction literacy every residential designer needs✔️ How to run smooth, stress-free installationsRead the Blog >>> 6 Business & Project Skills Designers Need to ExecuteNEXT STEPS:

In this episode, Ricardo explains that the true enemy of a project is not risk, but illusion. Although teams dedicate significant effort to risk management—creating registers, assessing probability and impact, and defining mitigation plans—many failures arise from collective self-deception. Unrealistic schedules, underestimated budgets, and overly ambitious scopes are often accepted to satisfy expectations and gain approval. Unlike uncertainty, which is natural in complex environments, illusion is culturally constructed and reinforced by pressure, incentives, and overconfidence. The planning fallacy drives teams to underestimate time and cost. Effective project leadership means confronting illusions early, making trade-offs explicit, and protecting reality. Projects fail not because of known risks, but because uncomfortable truths are ignored. Listen to the podcast to learn more!

The Uncharted Conversations series tackles the tough and sometimes controversial questions of the infrastructure industry. This time, Riccardo, David, and Melissa set sail toward benefits realization—why is this seemingly vital component of major programmes so often eclipsed by an overarching focus on time and budget? Shouldn't the real measure of social project success be the benefits to the public, long after the project is over?Projects in transit and other asset classes are becoming more complex and interprovincial. The panel considers the need for benefit realization to stay front and centre—superseding capital budget adherence. It is, after all, the outcome least likely to change over often decade-long planning and execution. They look at public reaction to finished projects and consider how that reaction might change should cost–benefit analysis play a larger role from the beginning. Can delivery teams call a project a “win” simply because it's operational? This episode explores the trade-offs decision makers need to weigh (signal priority, car-centric constraints, political palatability, affordability) and how those choices shape the end user experience and media narrative. Along the way, the panel touches on how better incentive design, clearer decision architecture, and more connected suite-of-projects thinking may be necessary over long build lifecycles, in the face of ever-shifting expectations and populations.Key Takeaways:Aligning bidding and design decisions with cost–benefit outcomes to unlock innovation beyond lowest-capital-cost thinking;The industry's struggle to challenge major social infrastructure operating models;The vital role of the project sponsor in the balance between intended benefits and inevitable trade-offs;The potential for public dissatisfaction regardless of a project's original business case and outcome;How delays, population growth, and rising expectations can erode public tolerance—even if an asset meets its original targets.Quote:“Aligning based on the cost–benefit of the project can allow for a little bit more innovation when it comes to bidding on these projects.” - Melissa Di MarcoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Listen to Season 3, Episode 32 on project sponsorship: https://navigatingmajorprogrammes.transistor.fm/s3/72  Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com  Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Follow David Ho: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidtho-ontario/Follow Melissa Di Marco: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melissa-di-marco/

Instead of chasing use cases or tools, the focus is on fixing processes, incentives, and operating models. The conversation explores why many AI pilots fail, how ROI thinking can mislead, and why AI should be treated as a new way of working rather than a software upgrade. Practical examples show how small, disciplined changes can unlock productivity, innovation, and meaningful business impact without overinvesting or freezing in fear.

Interview with Sam Spring, President & CEO of Kincora Copper Ltd.Our previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/kincora-copper-tsxvkcc-100m-partner-funding-drives-multi-target-porphyry-exploration-in-nsw-8371Recording date: 10th February 2026Kincora Copper is executing a prospect generator strategy that has delivered significant operational scale in its first full year while maintaining capital efficiency through partner-funded drilling. The company operates eight copper-porphyry assets across Australia and Mongolia, having secured $7 million in partner funding and completed 16,000 meters of drilling across seven licenses in 2025, while generating approximately $500,000 in management fees.The company's most advanced partnership involves two joint ventures with AngloGold Ashanti covering 100 kilometers of strike in the northern Macquarie Arc, Australia's premier porphyry belt that hosts world-class mines including Cadia, Northparkes, and Cowal. AngloGold's commitment has expanded substantially, with spending increasing from $4.5 million to date to a proposed $7 million budget for 2026 as targets are upgraded. The major has deployed three technical teams to site, bringing specialist expertise that would be difficult for a junior explorer to access independently.Recent drilling at the Nevertire-Nevertire South project has confirmed encouraging copper-gold intervals suggesting proximity to porphyry centers, with follow-up drilling now underway testing upgraded targets. The company is systematically advancing the 40-kilometer strike length while looking for multiple discoveries within the immediate target area.Kincora recently closed a C$4 million financing led by institutional investors Rick Rule and Jeff Phillips, providing capital for focused work on 100% owned projects including Trundle and Fairholme, which are in advanced discussions with multiple majors. Late 2025 activities included a technically successful drill hole, airborne surveys at Condobolin, and ground gravity surveys at Jemalong, with results expected through early 2026.Trading at approximately $40 million market capitalisation, Kincora presents a valuation disconnect compared to peers. Recent Macquarie Arc explorers have rerated from $30 million to $100-200 million following positive results, while Kincora's seven non-JV assets are collectively valued at just $10 million. The company's partnership model offers multiple discovery opportunities with lower dilution than equity-funded peers, while retaining meaningful project-level stakes with potential for $100 million in partner funding before significant dilution decisions.View Kincora Copper's company profile: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/kincora-copper-limitedSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

This episode's guests were speakers on a Hot Topic Panel titled “Farm Management for the Future - Managing for Health, Welfare, and Performance” at the 2025 ADSA annual meeting. Dr. Nelson gives some background on how the Hot Topic Panel idea came to be and introduces the rest of the guests. (1:07)Dr. Devries describes his research program in dairy cattle behavior and nutrition, particularly using behavior as a metric for understanding nutrition and housing management and using automated tools. He has particular expertise in automated milking systems. He envisions incremental adoption of various automated tools to replace human labor in the manufacturing of milk. He predicts this will manifest not only in automated or robot systems, but also in increased automation in a traditional parlor system as well. (5:01)Dr. Boerman, a nutritionist, collaborates with Dr. Amy Reibman, an engineer, at Purdue to research the use of video analytics on dairy farms. Projects include video prediction of cow intake and cow body weight combined with milk production information in an effort to make improvements in feed efficiency. She emphasizes that technology needs to be used across a large number of farms without disrupting the farm. The panel talks about what technologies are currently available, challenges in identifying individual cows, and specific issues created for technology in a dairy farm environment. Dr. Boerman notes that a collaborative effort with colleagues of different expertise leads to the most optimal outcomes. (15:42)Dr. Giordano talks about monitoring systems for reproduction, health, and welfare. Wearable sensors are a good example of a technology that can be used to monitor both reproduction and health, as well as aspects of nutritional management. The goal of many research programs in this area is to touch cows as little as possible, yet intervene as early and intensely as possible with cows who truly need intervention. An intervention could be a treatment to ameliorate or reduce clinical signs, or it could be a preventative intervention that prevents the cow from developing a clinical health disorder. More work is needed to refine algorithms and integrate data, as well as distilling the data into what is most valuable to make the best predictions at the most reasonable cost.  (34:08)The panel further discusses the challenges of data integration, adequate internet and power access on farms, human error for manual data entry, and future training challenges for dairy farm and allied industry employees.(38:32)Panelists share their take-home thoughts.

Sal and Jeff better straighten up and not do anything dangerous today! Jerry Boger joins hosts Sal Sama and Jeff Jarrett in the podcast room for today's episode of The High Ground powered by Premier Companies. As you may remember from previous episodes, Jerry is the Environmental Safety Director for Premier Companies.In addition to discussing the projects they've procrastinated, Jerry, Sal, and Jeff will discuss Premier's commitment to safety and give us an idea of some of the safety initiatives Premier has in place. You'll learn what makes anhydrous ammonia so dangerous, and Jerry will discuss the yearly safety training that is required for employees and available to emergency responders to help keep the public safe. We'll also hear about the data plates that will be installed on anhydrous ammonia tanks and the information the data plate will share with the State Chemist for recertification. Anhydrous Ammonia can be very dangerous, but “if you handle it correctly, it's a really safe product.”
