  • If You Can't Explain It Simply… You Don't Understand It (Agile with My Son)
    Apr 9 2026

    In this episode, I put my own teaching to the test.

    I've always said: if you really understand something, you should be able to explain it simply—even to a kid.

    So I sat down with my 10-year-old son, Hunter, and tried to explain Agile vs Waterfall using something he actually cares about… building the fastest race car possible.

    What followed wasn't a lecture—it was a real conversation. Questions, confusion, breakthroughs… and a powerful reminder of what real learning looks like.

    If you've ever struggled to "get" Agile—or explain it—you're going to see it differently after this.

    My team and I treat every student the same - We passionately explain everything in a way that makes sense to them. We never stop until they get it! That is what is missing for you. If you want that type of help, we are your people. Reach out to me.

  • She Avoided the PMP for 4 Years… Then This Finally Changed Everything
    Mar 19 2026

    Thinking about the PMP but keep putting it off?
    Reach out to me directly: scott@allinprep.com or 757-759-5282 — I'll help you figure out your next step.

    She was already leading a PMO.
    She was already doing the work.

    But for four years… she couldn't bring herself to take the PMP exam.

    Not because she didn't know the material.
    Because she was afraid.

    Afraid of failing.
    Afraid of being judged at work.
    Afraid she'd freeze when it mattered most.

    In this powerful success interview, Naseem shares how she went from overthinking everything and delaying for years… to walking out of the exam feeling relieved, confident, and finally free.

    💥 What changed?
    • A mindset shift that completely rewired her self-talk

    • Realizing she was treating herself worse than she treated her own team

    • Getting into a community where she wasn't alone anymore

    • Practicing real PMP-style thinking instead of studying in isolation

    🔥 The breakthrough moment:

    She realized:

    She would never talk to her team the way she talked to herself.

    That changed everything.

    💡 What you'll learn in this episode:
    • Why fear—not knowledge—is what holds most people back

    • How to break out of the "I'm not ready yet" loop

    • The key to handling 50/50 questions without second-guessing yourself

    • How to build confidence even if you haven't taken a test in years

    🚀 If this sounds like you:
    • You keep delaying your exam

    • You feel ready… but not confident

    • You're stuck in your head during practice questions

    This episode will hit home.

  • Weirdly Effective PMP Question Solving Technique (Borrowed from World's Greatest Investor)
    Mar 16 2026

    Most PMP students try to answer questions by asking one simple thing:

    "Which answer is right?"

    But there's a different way to approach these questions that can make them much easier to solve.

    In this episode, I introduce a thinking technique called inversion thinking, borrowed from legendary investor Charlie Munger, Warren Buffett's longtime partner at Berkshire Hathaway.

    Instead of asking how something could go right, Munger would ask:

    "How could this go wrong?"

    What mistakes would destroy the value?
    What decisions would run the company into the rocks?

    By studying the bad paths first, he was able to make much better decisions.

    And that same idea works incredibly well for PMP exam questions.

    In this episode, I'll show you how to use inversion thinking to identify what a bad project manager would do in a situation so you can quickly eliminate wrong answers and see the better path more clearly.

    If PMP questions sometimes feel confusing or "mushy," this technique can help you create contrast and sharpen your judgment.

    Give it a try on your next set of practice questions and see how it works for you.

  • The Missing Piece in PMP Prep that No One Talks About
    Mar 9 2026

    Most people think passing the PMP exam comes down to two things: learning the content and practicing questions.

    But after working with thousands of students over the years, I can tell you there's a third piece that almost nobody talks about — and when it breaks, even the smartest professionals start doubting themselves.

    In this episode, I talk about the voice that shows up after you miss a question. The one that says things like "Maybe I'm not good enough for this" or "Everyone else seems to understand this faster than I do."

    That voice has a name: imposter syndrome.

    I break down the four forces that create imposter syndrome during PMP prep, why capable professionals fall into this trap, and what you can do to break out of it so you can move forward with confidence.

    If you've ever felt stuck, frustrated, or like you're the only one struggling with this exam, this episode will help you see what's really going on — and how to push through it.

    And if you want help navigating your PMP journey, I'd love to talk with you personally.

    I speak directly with every student before they join our program so I can understand where you are and help guide you toward the right next step.

  • How to Pick the PMI Answer on the PMP Exam
    Mar 6 2026

    If you've been studying for the PMP exam for a while, you've probably caught yourself saying something like:

    "I guess that's the PMI answer."

    And usually it comes with a little frustration.

    I hear this all the time from students who are struggling with practice questions. They feel like the exam is some kind of trick. Like there's a mysterious "PMI answer" hidden somewhere that doesn't match real life.

    In this episode, I want to challenge that belief head-on.

    Because the truth is, there is no secret PMI answer.

    What the PMP exam is actually testing is your judgment as a project leader.

    It puts you in messy project situations—conflicts, stakeholder pressure, team issues, changing requirements—and asks a simple question:

    What is the best decision a strong project leader would make next?

    The problem most students run into is that they rush straight to the answers instead of slowing down and analyzing the situation. They try to memorize patterns instead of developing the thinking process behind good project leadership.

    In this episode, I walk through how I approach questions and how I coach students to think through them, including:

    • Why jumping straight to the answers is a mistake

    • How to identify what actually matters in a scenario

    • How to weigh the good and bad consequences of each option

    • Why understanding principles matters far more than memorizing terms

    When you start thinking this way, PMP questions stop feeling like tricks and start feeling like real project decisions.

    If you're stuck, frustrated, or feel like you're spinning your wheels with practice questions, this episode will help you reset your approach.

    And if you want help working through this process, reach out to me directly.
