"The Disgruntled PM Podcast helps project managers transform daily frustrations into leadership opportunities by sharing clear strategies, no-nonsense advice, and a relatable dose of humor from experienced guests." Are you tired of endless meetings, scope creep, and stakeholders with "good idea fairy" syndrome? You're in the right place. Welcome to The Disgruntled PM, a therapy session for the modern project manager. We're the podcast that says what every PM is thinking. I skip the corporate jargon and dry theory to bring you honest, humorous, and hard-hitting conversations from the trenches of project management. I feature guests who have actually been there—from PMP coaches who failed the exam multiple times to PMs who have led groundbreaking (and chaotic) AI and tech projects. Each week, I sit down with seasoned project leaders, industry authors, PMP coaches, and innovative thinkers to have candid conversations you won't find anywhere else. I tackle the tough topics, including: • The critical soft skills and leadership tactics not found in the PMBOK. • Strategies for managing first-of-their-kind projects and emerging technology. • Real-world advice on stakeholder management, risk, and corporate communication • Actionable career advice and certification strategies If you're looking for real-world solutions and a community that understands the struggle, you've found it. I believe the best project managers are forged in the fire of frustration. Let's get disgruntled, and let's get better, together. Tune in, enjoy and don't forget to Like, Follow, and Subscribe!!!!!
