    In today's episode, I pull back the curtain on one of the most powerful learning tools inside the All-In PMP Prep system — the 50/50 Game.

    This episode is different. Instead of just talking about Agile concepts, I play through real 50/50 Game examples live on the show. You'll hear me break down two commonly confused Agile ideas at a time, explain the logic behind the right choice, and show how this simple game exposes (and fixes) the uncertainty that trips students up on the PMP exam.

    You'll learn:

    • How the 50/50 Game trains your brain to think the way the exam requires

    • Why "close enough" Agile knowledge isn't enough — and how this game sharpens the details

    • The hidden patterns that differentiate good Agile decisions from great ones

    • How to use this tool to boost confidence and cut through confusion on exam day

    If you enjoy learning this way, jump into the trial and experience the 50/50 Game directly. It's fun, fast, and one of the most effective tools I've ever created for PMP students.

    🎧 Let's play the game — and learn Agile the right way.

  • I Love That You Miss Tons of PMP Questions. Here's Why.
    Oct 23 2025

    If you need help simplifying PMP concepts in a way that really makes sense, reach out and I'll teach you and create a plan that works for you: 757-759-5282.

    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.

  • Scrum Roles Aren't Job Titles: They're Shared Accountabilities
    Oct 20 2025

    If you need help simplifying PMP concepts in a way that really makes sense, reach out and I'll teach you and create a plan that works for you: 757-759-5282.

    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.

  • The Last 24 Hours That Make or Break Your PMP Exam
    Oct 16 2025

    If you need help simplifying PMP concepts in a way that really makes sense, reach out and I'll teach you and create a plan that works for you: 757-759-5282.

    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.

    👉 Want Scott to help you build a complete PMP study plan so exam week feels calm, not chaotic? Call or text 757-759-5282.

  • The PMP Exam Isn't Trying to Trick You… It's Trying to Help You See This
    Oct 13 2025

    If you need help simplifying PMP concepts in a way that really makes sense, reach out and I'll teach you and create a plan that works for you: 757-759-5282.

    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.

    👉 Want Scott to help you practice these mindset shifts and build a plan that gets you to the finish line? Call or text 757-759-5282.
