Project 180 evolved quickly after its launch in September 2023.
A Podcast
With a rich 16-year history as a seasoned podcaster, Kevin has left his mark on platforms ranging from CBC and The Ottawa Citizen to Training Magazine and Rabble.ca. Undeterred by the challenge, Kevin set his sights on a new venture – a Project Management-focused Podcast.
Reaching out to his Project Management peers for 1:1 interviews, Kevin was pleasantly surprised when they enthusiastically agreed. This not only provided valuable practice in organization but also became the catalyst for Project 180 to evolve from a mere idea on Kevin’s whiteboard to a real, dynamic podcast.
Within a few episodes, Project 180 emerged not just as another concept but as a thriving podcast, fueled by authentic conversations and a commitment to showcasing the essence of Project Management.
Virtual Meetups
Beyond the captivating world of podcasting, Project 180 started offering live virtual meetups with the hopes of becoming the heartbeat of this PM community. Fueled by a surge in requests across platforms like Facebook and LinkedIn, Kevin takes the initiative to organize these dynamic gatherings, catering to the niche subjects that captivate Project Managers.
What started with a few Facebook posts quickly gained momentum, drawing in a regular attendance of 10-20 enthusiastic individuals on each call. This sweet spot ensures an optimal environment for networking, chit-chat, and deep dives into the most pressing topics in Project Management. The groups formed are a testament to their consistent diversity, boasting Project Leaders hailing from various industries and corners of the globe.
