Today we're answering a piece of listener mail. The question being...which certification is better to get? The Certified Energy Manager (CEM) or the Project Management Professional (PMP)?

There was a question posted in the NaPodPoMo Community (November is National Podcast Post Month) asking what gear everyone is using for their podcasts. In this episode, I run through the gear and workflow I use to produce the show. And what I hope to change going forward.

If you're an engineer, you've probably wondered if getting the Professional Engineering license is worth the time, effort, and cost. Fewer than 20% of engineers are licensed. And those that are, rarely use it during their career. But I still recommend engineers obtain it at their earliest opportunity. That's our topic on today's Daily Jolt bonus episode.

If I listened to my high school guidance counselor, I never would've become an engineer. Two degrees, five certifications, a few boxes of awards and a 32 year-career with global experience proved that I was wise to ignore his bad advice. What career advice have you accepted or ignored? That's our topic on today's Daily Jolt bonus episode.

Lean Manufacturing, or Lean, is now an overused term to describe continuous improvement. Some think interest in Lean has started to wane. Others think Lean is dead. In this episode, I explore this basic thesis against a current book I'm reading, Redefining Operational Excellence by Andrew Miller.
