    More Than Checking Boxes: Grant Compliance, Trust & Project Success

    In this episode of The Redhorse Perspective Podcast, we sit down with Sara Fry, MPA and PMP, owner of Sara Fry, LLC, to explore why compliance is about much more than checking boxes. Together, we discuss the importance of reading the fine print before accepting grant funding, understanding the terms and conditions that come with grant awards, and how organizations can set themselves up for long-term success through education and compliance. Sara also shares why project management principles, such as building trust, managing time effectively, and developing a solid work breakdown structure (WBS)—are just as valuable in the nonprofit and public sectors as they are in traditional engineering and construction projects. Whether you're a grant applicant, nonprofit leader, project manager, or simply curious about what happens after funding is awarded, this conversation offers practical insights on turning compliance into a tool for success rather than a burden.

    Leading Through Influence: Resilience, Facilitation, and Building Better Communities

    In this episode of The Redhorse Perspective Podcast, I sit down with Marcy DeMillion, founder of Connecting Visions LLC, to discuss the leadership skills that often make the greatest impact; facilitation, communication, and bringing people together around a common purpose. Marcy shares her career journey, the lessons she's learned as a woman working in traditionally male-dominated industries, and how resilience, authenticity, and relationship-building have shaped her path. We also explore the critical role of stakeholder engagement, including why youth voices deserve a seat at the table when planning projects that affect future generations. Whether you're an engineer, project manager, community leader, or emerging professional, this conversation offers valuable insights into leading with influence, navigating challenges with confidence, and creating stronger projects through meaningful collaboration.
