Ever wonder why some remote project teams thrive while others drown in chaos—even when using the same tools?
In this second and final installment of our series on remote project management, Business Breaks hosts John Byrne and Dante Healy dive deep into the real-world essentials of making distributed teams work. With the pandemic’s impact still reshaping the way we work, hybrid and remote teams have become the new norm—but technology alone won’t bridge the gaps.
John and Dante get practical, exposing the pitfalls of “tool overload,” inconsistent training, and misunderstood access privileges that can tank productivity. Through relatable stories and a dash of humor, they reveal the importance of unified toolsets, clear communication standards, and regular training to get everyone genuinely collaborating—rather than just navigating tech.
But remote success isn’t just about the digital setup. The hosts challenge listeners to rethink how they manage productivity and work-life balance in a world where the lines between home and office are easily blurred. Learn why focusing on outcomes over hours, setting realistic expectations, and encouraging deep work are critical—not just for delivery, but for preventing burnout.
Whether you’re fine-tuning infrastructure (think: reliable backup internet and power), wrestling with notification overload, or nurturing your team’s sense of connection, this episode is your actionable playbook. Discover how intentional leadership, consistent processes, and genuine care for your people turn remote obstacles into opportunities—and help remote and hybrid teams do more than just cope. They thrive.
Tune in and take away practical strategies to help your project teams stay sharp, connected, and truly productive—no matter where they’re working from.

When Buzzwords and Bad Practices Wreck Real Results!
Welcome to Business Breaks, hosted by Dante Healy and John Byrne.
Agile was once the go-to framework for speed, adaptability, and innovation. But in many companies today, it’s not delivering on its promises. Instead, we see "Agile Theatre" - teams going through the motions without real agility. Terms like Fake Agile and Dark Agile have emerged to describe the misapplications that create more chaos than efficiency.
In this episode, "How Misapplied Agile Fails" Dante and John cut through the noise. They discuss how short-term thinking leads to crippling technical debt, why poor governance and lack of discipline turn Agile into a free-for-all and how forcing Agile into the wrong projects does more harm than good.
If your organisation is stuck in Agile frameworks that seem more like red tape than real progress, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn how to use Agile the right way- without falling for the hype.
