🎸 Embrace the Suck: Project Management Lessons from a Bluesman | Remix Episode 3 | Hard Knock U

Remix Alert! 🔥

This ain’t your typical project management podcast — we’re throwing down hard truths, blues riffs, and uncomfortable truths with a heavy dose of grit and humor.

In this remixed edition of Episode 3: Embracing Discomfort, host Mark Caples and guest Todd Roth (blues musician, luthier, and certified vibe curator) dive into why growth lives in the discomfort zone — in projects, in music, in life.

This upgraded version fuses the original content with that signature HKU seasoning: fresh edits, sharper laughs, and an exclusive live music performance from Todd Roth to close it out 🎶🔥

💡 What You'll Learn: Why project managers need to get comfortable with being uncomfortable How to manage a real-life nightmare client (aka “Hurricane Mike”) without losing your damn mind What musicians and PMs have in common (hint: it’s chaos) Lessons from Ben Horowitz's What You Do Is Who You Are Why cultural leadership thrives when sh*t hits the fan

🔥 BONUS: Live blues jam at the end of the episode. Because growth should come with a groove. 🎸
