In this episode, Andrew Berger (founder of PodClimb) sits down with Trevor Greenberg to unpack the real mechanics behind project management for podcast creators — and why successful shows rely on more than great ideas alone.

Together, they break down how clear communication, structured workflows, and repeatable systems shape everything from podcast production to long-form content strategy. Trevor shares how principles from Agile and Waterfall project-management methodologies translate directly into podcasting: setting expectations, reducing assumptions, and keeping creative teams aligned.

The conversation also explores:

How project management improves podcast consistency and quality

Why creators struggle with originality — and how to simplify complex ideas for your audience

What authenticity really means in content creation (beyond chasing virality)

The impact of awards and external validation in film, music, and podcasting

The changing landscape of creative work as AI becomes a bigger influence

Trevor emphasizes that great project managers aren’t “doers” — they’re facilitators who remove friction so creators can focus on what they do best. Andrew connects this directly to the PodClimb philosophy: building repeatable, scalable podcast systems that allow founders, coaches, and creators to show up effortlessly on camera or mic.

Whether you're building a content engine, managing a production team, or trying to get more consistent with your podcast, this episode offers a grounded look at how operations and creativity intersect — and why mastering both is the key to sustainable growth.
