Hey, better late than never! We're just trying to put out an honest podcast folks, sometimes the plane comes in late and sometimes, it doesn't land at all. That's a reference to today's topic, "The Last Tycoon" by F. Scott Fitzgerald. Chris talks about the book, what it's about and what a novel written in the 30's has to tell us about life and work here in the cozy embrace of 2023. (Hint: people haven't changed as much as we might have hoped.)
Chris also talks about the "Mastering Project Management" Webinar hosted by this very podcast host, that you can sign up for by clicking that link! Tune in next week and Chris will give you the code for 25% off registration.

Who Cares?

What does it all mean? Why bother with any of it?
Today Chris takes a look at the world of Project Management gurus and Rise and Grind Culture, and the ocean of leadership books and wonders: "Does any of this stuff matter? Does it get to why any of this is important? Who cares about being a good project manager or a good team leader, anyway?"
Spoiler alert: it does matter. It matters for deeper and better reasons than the prevailing messages would have you believe.
Two more episodes left, folks!
