30 SEP 2024 · Top-Down or Bottom-Up thinking, designing, and planning? Yes. In this episode the guys chat about the importance of both Top-Down and Bottom-Up thinking in project management.

Jim Carrey, Matthew McConaughey, and Ryan Reynolds. Where's my thumb? This episode is chock full of greatness. Don't believe it? Just listen! The guys cover AI in a little more depth superficially. That's right. Don't understand that statement? Blame AI… The post https://projectpundits.com/podcast/we-need-to-talk-more-about-ai/ first appeared on https://projectpundits.com.
25 MAR 2024 · Meetings.

5 MAR 2024 · In the first episode of the second season of the extremely engaging, highly recommended, overwhelmingly entertaining, very close to award-winning Project Pundits Unplugged Pod Braden and Jim talk about jobs.

The guys cover refreshers on applying for jobs on LinkedIn, resume dos and don'ts, and why, unfortunately, even if you get it all right it may not matter. They get into what you really need to do to find and land your next position. The post https://projectpundits.com/podcast/1-job-6-days-1014-resumes/ first appeared on https://projectpundits.com.

It's all riding on this episode, the team is banking on your support going into Season 2 of the PPU Pod to battle another set of party pooping serially sucky stakeholders - will you put on your fedoras, join the battle, and forward this episode to your all your colleagues, friends, frenemies, and family? Or will you enable the Lamentables to continue to wreak havoc? The choice is yours… The post https://projectpundits.com/podcast/the-league-of-lamentable-stakeholders/ first appeared on https://projectpundits.com.
29 JAN 2024 · In this episode the guys cover a range of topics and put some predictions on the record. Politics, economics, war, Artificial Intelligence (AI), healthcare, nukes, and weight loss are all on the table! We didn’t cover all ‘third rail’ issues though, you’ll find no discussion of religion for instance! After you watch/listen let us know if you’re in agreement with the prognostications or if you think we’re way off. AND apologies on Jim’s audio in this episode, it’s subpar and there wasn’t much more that could be done without re-recording. We won’t point fingers as to who was at fault, but we can say it wasn’t Jim… The post https://projectpundits.com/podcast/2024-predictions/ first appeared on https://projectpundits.com.
8 JAN 2024 · Braden and Jim talk about the stark reality that every project manager comes to understand at some point in their career - that you really have zero direct control over the people and activities that you must orchestrate in order to successfully deliver your projects.

There are references to carrots and sticks, the mob and The Godfather movie, how to improve your personal relationships, PMs as therapists, Power, Influence, book recommendations and much more...
