"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.

In this engaging conversation, Trevor Greenberg interviews Craig Baker, a project manager with a military background, discussing the challenges and nuances of project management. They explore the classic dilemma of focusing on details versus the main goal, the importance of effective communication, and the phenomenon of the 'Good Idea Fairy' in project settings. Craig shares insights on team dynamics, the significance of understanding individual contributions, and the innovative use of AI in revolutionizing job briefings for utility workers. The discussion also touches on lessons learned from military experiences and how they apply to civilian project management.

"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.
