Podcasts are like hacks for your everyday life. They allow you to passively improve your knowledge and gain valuable insight into almost any topic you could imagine, whilst doing pretty much anything.
All of that time spent walking to the store, commuting to work, preparing a meal, working out; it’s all time you could be utilizing to improve yourself and your business.

Employee onboarding mistakes are expensive because new hires make stay-or-go judgments fast. Gallup reports that only 12% of employees strongly agree their organization does a great job onboarding, and BambooHR found that many new hires decide whether a job is the right fit within the first month.
The good news is that the most fatal onboarding mistakes are operational, not mysterious. If your process gives people time to learn, keeps work out of static paper systems, and makes expectations explicit, your best employees get a clearer path to contribute.
Product-led growth changes the customer success job. Instead of waiting for an account manager to create every next step, customers discover value inside the product, adoption data shows where momentum is building, and the customer success team turns those signals into repeatable expansion plays.
The best product-led customer success metrics connect that motion end to end: acquisition, adoption, retention, and expansion. They inform product-led expansion growth strategy, reduce customer acquisition cost, improve customer lifetime value, and build expansion revenue without losing the human workflows behind customer outcomes.

Writers are inherently nosy curious. Here at Process Street, we are no different. So when I was given the opportunity to check out GitLab’s marketing playbook, I jumped at it.
GitLab itself is an interesting company. Remote-first and open source, GitLab’s evolution comes not only from its own development teams, but also contributions from a large community of contributors and users. Plus it promotes total transparency; all of GitLab’s documentation is freely accessible on its website. Like I said, interesting place.
We make hundreds of food-related decisions a day, and most of them happen with less awareness than we think.
Microsoft once claimed in an ad for its To-Do app that people make 35,000 decisions a day. The exact number is hard to verify, but the larger point holds: your brain filters more information than you can consciously process.
Guest contribution by Maja Kowalska, head of content marketing at Benhauer, where she managed SALESmanago and APPmanago content.
Marketing problems killing campaign performance rarely start in the ad account. They start in the process around marketing campaigns: who owns the customer context, which KPI decides success, and how the handoff gets from marketing to sales.
You might think I’m about to tell you to get up as the sun rises, sit down at your desk and work until you can’t work any more. That’s probably because you’ve heard advice like this pretty often… That’s why these unique daily rituals from creatives CEOs and other high-output people are useful: each one turns focus into a repeatable constraint.
In fact, Slate writer Mason Currey says that after reviewing 161 daily rituals, the key lesson you can extract is:
Workflow automation gives construction managers a way to run permits, inspections, and handoffs without losing the details to paper, memory, or a buried email thread. Most industries moved this way years ago, because workflow tools save time and money while keeping work accountable. Construction has been slower, and plenty of job sites still rely on paper schedules, faxed work orders, and fill-in-the-blank contracts.
That manual approach leaves constant openings for error. A receipt never reaches the client because the original work order went missing. A contract needs special terms that get handwritten onto the back of a generic template. Every missed step, lost form, and unlogged change is a risk to the budget, the timeline, and the audit trail.
I used to think office exercises were a bad trade. I did not have time to exercise, I could not do it at the office, and I was sure I would look like the fool stretching beside my desk.
I was wrong. Office exercises, desk exercises, and desk stretches do not have to be complicated, sweaty, or embarrassing. WHO reported in 2024 that nearly 1.8 billion adults did not meet recommended physical activity levels in 2022, while the CDC keeps the practical advice simple: move more, sit less, and build activity into the day where you can.
Every process improvement discipline has its own learning curve. BPM teaches you how work moves, Six Sigma teaches you how to reduce defects, Lean teaches you how to remove waste, and operations management teaches you how to keep the whole system running.
If you want a practical path through that material and become a systems expert, start with courses that show the work, not just textbooks and notation manuals. This guide collects free and paid BPM, Lean Six Sigma, operations management, and startup operations courses you can use to build systems expertise.
