From Aspiring PM to Confident Leader

In this episode of PM Unfiltered, Daniel, Elizabeth, and Justin dive into one of the most common questions they get: how do you actually get started as a project manager? The crew tackles the myths, the hype, and the hard truths about breaking into the profession, whether you are pivoting from another career, just graduating, or falling into it by accident.

What makes this episode especially powerful is the clash of perspectives. From transferable skills and industry-specific expectations to the passion-driven paths that bring people into the field, you hear real talk about what works, what does not, and why no two journeys look the same.

The conversation is equal parts candid, challenging, and encouraging. You will leave with practical advice on how to position yourself, what early steps matter most, and how to reframe your existing skills as project management gold. It is an honest roadmap for aspiring PMs who want clarity in a noisy market.
