    Nov 18 2025

    Ever found yourself doing just one more thing for a client... and suddenly you're knee-deep in extra work that was never part of the deal? That, my friend, is scope creep — and it’s every OBM’s nemesis.

From client qualification and boundary-setting to delegation and those tricky “small” requests that snowball, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone managing projects, clients, or teams.

    🎧 Tune in to learn:

    • How to spot early signs of scope creep

    • Why saying “yes” too often creates chaos later
