Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

PPP 510 | The Word Great Leaders Keep Using (And Most Leaders Avoid), with Marcus Buckingham
Q: What role does AI play in creating loving experiences, and where does it fall short?
AI can support by handling repetitive tasks and pattern recognition, but it cannot truly understand or create human flourishing; the most valuable parts of a job involve experiences that evoke love, which AI cannot replicate.
PPP 510 | The Word Great Leaders Keep Using (And Most Leaders Avoid), with Marcus Buckingham
Q: How does Marcus define love in a business context and why is it central to high performance?
Love is the unwavering commitment to the flourishing of a human, and it predicts positive behaviors like diligence, loyalty, and advocacy; leaders who design experiences that remove armor enable people to perform at higher levels.
PPP 506 | Stop Optimizing Meetings. Start Reducing Them, with Rebecca Hinds
Q: Why start with reducing volume before optimizing meetings?
Because reducing volume removes the baseline clutter and social pressures that make meetings feel mandatory, allowing a more deliberate redesign where the remaining meetings truly add value.
PPP 502 | When Process Is Not Enough: The Human Side of Project Leadership, with Brett Harned
Q: How have expectations of the PM role changed over time, especially with AI in the mix?
The role has shifted from task tracking to judgment, communication, and trust-building, with PMs leading without formal authority and absorbing more ambiguity; AI is seen as a tool to enhance leadership rather than replace it.
PPP 502 | When Process Is Not Enough: The Human Side of Project Leadership, with Brett Harned
Q: What do you do in your role as Brett Harned?
I describe my role as helping project leaders and teams make sense of messy work, acting as a consultant, coach, and writer who supports untangling unclear expectations and navigating pressure with a human-centric approach.
