when we had rolled this part of our strategy the guy said that's very expensive to be putting a project manager on the tools
Hot take · 29:51
I'll give you a quick weird analogy you've heard of saxs underwear
Framework · 13:25
if you ask any company out there in any industry why them they always say it's service
Hot take · 27:24

Framework · 28:40
think of it as like a lighthouse and that Lighthouse isn't moving anywhere

// LESSONS FROM Trinity Energy Group
Service must be defined with measurable KPIs and behaviours, not used as a vague slogan.
EP 70 · Amin Tran
Hire for transferable soft skills and culture fit; technical gaps can be supported by an existing team.
EP 70 · Amin Tran
Build teams around complementary strengths, not irreplaceable unicorns, so departures don't leave a void.
EP 70 · Amin Tran
Put the right personality in the right seat; a relationship-communicator can run a client-facing site without deep technical knowledge.
EP 70 · Amin Tran
Define your niche and ideal client tightly; ruling out 90% of the market saves wasted bids and builds margin.
EP 70 · Amin Tran
Don't chase 'big sexy' jobs outside your scope; boring, consistent niche work prints cash and avoids litigation risk.
