NICK WALKER: Welcome to Manage This, the podcast by project managers for project managers. This is our chance to talk as professionals in the field of project management. We want to address your concerns, your needs, and to give you not only some tips on bettering your game, but to encourage you in it. I’m your host, Nick Walker.
WENDY GROUNDS: Now, wasn’t that a surprise, hearing Nick Walker’s voice again.
BILL YATES: Loved that.
Celebrating Manage This
WENDY GROUNDS: We are so grateful for what he brought to Manage This. He’s not in the studio with us, unfortunately. And if you’re wondering why we’re having this throwback, today we’re celebrating over seven years of Manage This. And we also have over one million listens to the podcast. Nick was our excellent host for the first 100 episodes.
BILL YATES: Yeah, yeah. We’ve got a lot to celebrate, and we have so many fun memories to go through, I mean all the podcasts that we’ve had, the first 100 with Nick, and you’ve stepped in and done such a marvelous job since then, Wendy. It’s been wonderful having you in here, too. And we’ve just heard so much great advice, learned so many interesting things. We just want to thank our listeners for the recommendations. They have connected us with authors, with interesting projects, with all kinds of ideas. And we love it. Keep those ideas coming.
WENDY GROUNDS: Yes. Yes, yeah. Nick’s shoes were very hard to fill. This was definitely outside of my comfort zone. I was quite happy just doing the behind-the-scenes work. But it has been fun. It has really been probably the most fun I’ve had in a job.
BILL YATES: Well, it’s a delight having you in here. And I love having somebody with a perspective that is as diverse as yours in terms of the industries that you’ve worked in. And you’ve never been a project manager. It’s been another hat that you’ve worn. And so I think you bring some simplicity to some of the questions where I get myself a little tied up trying to think, how do I ask this question? And you jump right to the heart of it, and I love that.
WENDY GROUNDS: I’ve certainly learned a lot about project management. And we are grateful to Andy for starting this podcast. What we’re going to do is pop back and forth and hear excerpts from previous episodes. And the first one we’re going to start with is Andy. We asked Andy
