    S2.E4. Vibe Coding + AI + Agile: A New Era for Product Owners, Scrum Masters & Project Managers
    Nov 18 2025
    Vibe coding is everywhere right now — but is it just hype, or is it actually the beginning of a new way to build, prototype, and collaborate? In this episode, Aina Alive speaks with returning guest Gerard to unpack what vibe coding really is, why it’s gaining massive traction, and how it can fundamentally reshape Agile workflows, prototyping, and the relationship between Product Owners and development teams. We explore: What vibe coding actually means (beyond YouTube hype) Why prototyping now takes hours instead of weeks Why vibe-coded prototypes should never be pushed to production How AI-generated prototypes can resurrect Agile by improving sprint planning How product owners can use fast visual prototypes to get cleaner estimates How this technique closes the gap between vision and implementation Gerard also walks through his personal experience learning vibe coding, joining a hackathon, and preparing a real product concept using tools such as https://bolt.new/, ChatGPT, and https://manus.im/. 👇 Tell us in the comments: Are you using vibe coding already? Do you see practical benefits for your product, team, or personal projects? Timecodes: 0:00 Intro + what is vibe-coding?

    S2.E3. From EY Lessons to AI Disruptions: Ethics in Project Management Today with Ming Yeung
    Jun 4 2025

    What happens when rapid tech evolution, organizational restructuring, and rising pressure challenge our core values? In this conversation with Ming Yeung — PMI Ethics Insight Team member and author of Workplace Theft: Exploring Prevalence, Impact, and Ethical Challenges — we dive into the future of ethics in project management, the role of the Chief Project Officer, and why ethics should never fall to the bottom of the priority list.

    Together, we explore:

    • Ethical blind spots in digital transformation (including the EY training scandal)

    • The real cost of unethical shortcuts — for individuals and organizations

    • The Quadruple Bottom Line: how People, Purpose, Profit & Planet reshape ethical leadership

    • Why ethics training is no longer optional — and how it anchors decision-making in complexity

    • A personal quote you’ll want to write down

    🎧 Whether you're a project leader, strategist, or just curious about the moral dimensions of modern work — this episode will stay with you.

  • S2.E2.The Disappearance of Junior Roles: Hiring Smarter, Leading AI-Driven Teams with Gerard Pietrykiewicz

    S2.E2.The Disappearance of Junior Roles: Hiring Smarter, Leading AI-Driven Teams with Gerard Pietrykiewicz
    Apr 14 2025

    What happens when AI becomes a job requirement—and human roles have to justify their own existence?

    In this eye-opening episode, Aina Alive welcomes back Gerard Pietrykiewicz to explore a bold internal memo from Shopify’s CEO (https://www.forbes.com/sites/douglaslaney/2025/04/09/selling-ai-strategy-to-employees-shopify-ceos-manifesto/) that declares a hiring freeze unless a role cannot be done by AI. What does that mean for hiring managers, career paths, and the future of work as we know it?

    Together, Aina and Gerard unpack:

    • Why polished answers in interviews might now be a red flag

    • How to tell if someone is truly skilled—or just great at prompting ChatGPT

    • What the disappearance of junior roles means for long-term talent development

    • Why communication—not just technical skill—is now the top hiring priority

    • What “AI-ready” really means—and how to test for it ethically

    This episode is your preview to a deeper conversation happening in our upcoming live webinar on May 1st: “Hiring for the Future: Building and Leading AI-Driven Teams” (https://www.linkedin.com/events/hiringforthefuture-buildingandl7312833137795821568/)

    Whether you’re a hiring manager, team lead, volunteer, or future-focused professional—this one’s for you.
