🎮 PM Labs
An industry-first approach to bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Reading articles is valuable, but wouldn't it be amazing if you could actually play around with the ideas, build practical judgment, and interact with the lessons I share? That's what PM Labs is all about.
I've developed what I call "Mindcasts" through research and trial and error. These interactive experiences broadcast my stories, lessons, and ideas through creative learning tools that let you step into real scenarios, make decisions, and experiment without the real-world stakes.
This is the cutting edge of learning and idea exploration. I'm constantly building new tools and experimenting with different ways to help you develop the judgment that only comes from doing.
Consider this your playground for practicing project management in action.
