I share my experience from the past couple of years as I worked to earn my Blue Belt in the grappling art of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ)

PPP62: My 5 Tips to Achieve the BJJ Blue Belt

When the plan fails, how do you lead?

Most people have a plan for when things go right. Very few have a framework for when they go wrong. Hosted by Kevin Pannell, a former Navy Hospital Corpsman in critical care, Firefighter/EMT, and current Enterprise IT PMO leader; People, Process, Progress is a masterclass in high-stakes decision-making.

From the sterile intensity of an ICU to the unpredictable chaos of a 911 call and the complex politics of a corporate boardroom, the variables remain the same: People, Process, and Progress.

Every episode follows a simple rhythm to give you actionable insights for Monday morning:
- People: Understanding the mindset of those who stay steady under pressure.
- Process: Deconstructing the tactical systems that actually work when it gets hard.
- Progress: Identifying the growth earned by staying the course.

Whether it’s a conversation with a first responder, business owner, or veteran, we explore one core truth: Growth is earned, and hope is not a plan.

Own your role. Move with discipline. Progress starts here.
