Did you know Peyton Manning — Hall of Famer, Super Bowl champ, commercial star — threw 28 interceptions as a rookie? That's the all-time record. He started as a massive failure. But he never dropped his head, never backed down, and kept learning until he became one of the greatest of all time.

That's exactly why I love when PMP students miss tons of practice questions. Because every miss is growth. In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why mistakes are the fastest teacher in PMP prep

• What my Chief Engineer taught me about the best engineers having the best mistake stories

• How wrong answers expose blind spots and create sticky learning

• Why failure is rehearsal — and the path to exam-day confidence

• Funny, real-world analogies (meatballs, Mario Kart, gutter balls) that make this lesson unforgettable

📌 Key takeaway: Missing isn't failure. Missing is growth. Every mistake is a rep toward mastery.

Too many people think Scrum roles are job titles:

• Scrum Master = meeting scheduler

• Product Owner = requirements writer

• Developers = order-takers

Wrong.

In this episode, I'll break down what the Scrum Guide actually says about these roles — and why they're designed as shared accountabilities, not silos.

Here's what you'll take away:

• Why the Scrum Master is really a coach and capability builder, not a project manager

• How the Product Owner drives value and vision while relying on collaboration

• Why Developers aren't "just coders" — they self-manage and own the increment

• The secret exam hack: PMI rewards answers that show overlap and collaboration, not isolation

📌 Key takeaway: Agile roles aren't about hierarchy. They're about shared accountability.

Most students think PMP prep is about cramming until the last second. But the truth is, the final 24 hours before your exam are the most important — and they're not about studying. They're about tapering down, protecting your clarity, and showing up at your best.

In this episode, Scott lays out exactly how to use the last 24 hours before exam day to win:

• Why studying past lunch the day before is a mistake

• What to lock in 2–3 days early so you're not scrambling last-minute

• How to spend exam-eve recharging with family, fun, and pump-up rituals

• Why sleep, rest, and relaxation are the hidden weapons of PMP success

• The Lego-at-2AM analogy you'll never forget (and why cramming backfires)

📌 Key takeaway: The last 24 hours aren't about adding knowledge — they're about trusting your prep, tapering down, and protecting your clarity.

So many students tell me: "Scott, the PMP exam is trying to trick me." The scenarios feel unrealistic, the answers all look half-right, and it seems like PMI is playing games.

But here's the truth: the exam isn't trying to trick you. It's trying to help you see the bigger picture.

In this episode, I'll show you how to flip your perspective and finally understand what the exam is doing. We'll cover:

• Why PMP questions feel "tricky" and what they're really testing

• The shift from task-level thinking to system-level leadership

• Common situations where students feel trapped (risks, stakeholders, change requests) and the bigger-picture lessons inside them

• How to stop arguing with the scenario and start asking: "What is PMI really testing here?"

• Practical mindset hacks to slow down, zoom out, and pick the best answer, not just the "okay" one

📌 Key takeaway: The PMP exam isn't a trap — it's training your lens. Every question is an invitation to see like a project leader, not just a task doer.

In this episode, Scott sits down with Kate, a PMP® student whose journey wasn't picture-perfect — and that's exactly why it's so valuable.

Kate failed her first attempt at the PMP exam. She came close, but nerves and overwhelm got the best of her. Instead of letting that setback define her, she regrouped, worked with the All In PM Prep program, and came back just weeks later to absolutely crush the exam.

This is an honest, transparent conversation about what really happens when the pressure of the PMP exam hits. You'll hear:

• Why nerves derailed her first attempt (and how she recognized it)

• The simple changes she made in her prep the second time around

• How she shifted her mindset to walk into the exam with confidence

• Encouragement for anyone who feels overwhelmed or is doubting their ability

Kate's story proves that failing once doesn't mean you're done — it means you're learning. If you're preparing for the PMP exam, this episode will give you a real-world perspective and the motivation to push through to success.

Three little words trip up more PMP students than almost anything else: Risk, Issue, Assumption. Get them confused on the exam, and you'll wreck a question you could have nailed.

In this episode, Scott unpacks these concepts with clear definitions, fun analogies, and exam-focused insights so they finally stick. You'll learn:

• The simple difference between risks, issues, and assumptions (Clouds, Rain, Park)

• Why positive risks (opportunities) matter as much as threats

• How risks, issues, and assumptions flow into one another on real projects

• The common exam traps PMI uses to confuse you — and how to avoid them

• Real-life scenarios (including a funny Mickey Mouse napkin example) that make it unforgettable

📌 Key takeaway: Risks, issues, and assumptions aren't the same. Each has its own log, timing, and process. Get them straight, and the exam questions suddenly become obvious.

PMI's Code of Ethics and Professional Conduct isn't a side topic — it's a core exam filter. On test day, PMI is asking: Can I trust you to lead this project with integrity?

In this episode, we break down the four values — Responsibility, Respect, Fairness, and Honesty — with vivid examples, red lines, and the common traps that cause students to stumble. You'll learn:

• The gold standard behaviors PMI expects you to demonstrate.

• The absolute NOs that always eliminate answer choices.

• The common confusion points (gifts, bribes, favors, cultural practices) — and how PMI wants you to think about them.

• The exam "common sense" tools: the Front-Page Test, the Law → Policy → PMI ladder, and the 4D Rule (Disclose, Decline, Document, Delegate/Recuse).

• A mini quiz of real exam-style scenarios where we walk through the right and wrong choices together.

👉 Bottom line: Skills make you a project manager. Ethics make you a leader. And on the PMP exam, ethics can make the difference between passing and failing.
