Your manager just left, a reorg shuffled the deck, or a new leader landed on your team. Now what? Nate and John break down the first 30 days with a new manager—what actually matters, what you should avoid, and how to set yourself up for success when the reporting lines shift. From the "managing up with data" playbook to why your first impression matters more than you think, this episode covers the unspoken rules of navigating leadership transitions. Your job is real, your role is negotiable.

What tools are PMs actually using to get work done? John walks through his everyday tech stack: OmniFocus for personal tasks, Jira for team coordination, Confluence for documentation. But it's not about the tools themselves. It's about knowing when to use them and when they're getting in your way.

We dig into the AI creep happening across these platforms, the temptation to automate everything with Claude, and why John's implementing a "swear jar" for AI-generated content that nobody bothers to read. Plus: lessons learned from assuming "this will be quick" in meetings (spoiler: it never is) and economic warning signs hiding in plain sight.

When Congress pulled federal funding from public media in July 2025, it eliminated 15-30% of station budgets overnight. Alex Curley, founder of Semipublic, joins to break down what happened, what's next, and how his Adopt a Station platform is pairing supporters with stations in crisis.

Plus: Why GM killing CarPlay proves we never learn from our mistakes, and a lesson about vanishing careers that hits a little too close to home for John.
