What do our hosts use to keep multiple projects at a time on track and on budget? How do you deal with email, messaging, and calendars? Let us know the tools you use for project management.

We discuss three different short topics on today's episode. Starting with the comments on a Facebook post regarding episode 212 we talk about the importance of reading an article or listening to a podcast before responding to a clip or the title of the social post. Next we discuss a listener suggestion about how to deal with people that came up in this industry in more difficult times and thinks you should too. Finally, we talk about the difficulty in accurately counting very large quantities of things.

Is it necessary or beneficial to get a phD? A masters degree is often required to advance your career in CRM, but is it necessary to go all the way to a PhD?

Join Masters Heather and Stephen as they discuss this topic with Doctors Bill and Doug.

The 2020 field season was largely shortened by COVID - field schools were almost completely shut down. Even though we all played along like 2021 was going to be different, it looks like many field schools are already canceled. While this is happening CRM firms are demanding that university programs train students to know what CRM firms want them to know. The answer is obvious: CRM firms should train students in CRM though internships and partner programs. This week...on the CRM Archaeology Podcast.

ENCORE (Original release: Sept 14, 2016)

In early August we created a survey that was placed on Facebook and it was titled "99 Problems". Based on recent and ongoing conversations on Facebook regarding issues with people that work in CRM Archaeology, the survey was designed to find out what those problems actually are and what we can do about them. On this episode, the hosts discuss the results. Your thoughts are appreciated in the comments.

On today's episode we discuss conferences, AGAIN. But that's for two reasons. First, we got some great comments from a fan on our Member's Only Slack Team (archpodnet.com/members) that we had to address. Second, the basic model for a conference hasn't changed in nearly a century and we need to fix that.
