Welcome to the very first episode of The Master of Almost — the podcast dedicated to the beautifully frustrating world of unfinished projects, procrastination, and the never-ending pursuit of progress.

Your host, Jim McAndrew, kicks things off with guest Joe Homan, founder of AccelPath LLC — a company that helps people (like Jim) finally turn ideas into action. This episode is equal parts self-deprecating, insightful, and unexpectedly encouraging as Jim and Joe dive into:

• What it means to live in a state of almost done

• The mental weight of unfinished projects and scattered to-do lists

• How ADHD and attention challenges affect productivity

• Strategies Joe learned in the Army that turned him from a “wake-up-at-noon” kind of guy to someone who gets more done by 9am than most people do all day

• The power of planning — and the importance of leaving space for deviation

• How AI tools (like ChatGPT) are now part of their productivity toolkit — for polishing, finishing, and even diagnosing truck noises

• Why building a diverse team of people who think differently is essential if you actually want to finish what you start

• The joy of real checkboxes (paper > phone), and the psychological reward of completing even the smallest tasks

From the accidental naming of the podcast during an AI workshop, to learning that sometimes progress means planning time for happy hour — this episode sets the tone for what this series is all about: messy, honest, and very human conversations about how we get (or don’t get) things done.

Whether you’re the kind of person who starts ten things and finishes none, or someone who has it all buttoned up but secretly wants to understand why the rest of us live in chaos — you’ll find something in this episode. Maybe even the motivation to dust off one of your own almost-done dreams.

🔧 What to Expect
• Real talk about productivity
• Laughs about procrastination
• Tactical tips on planning, scheduling, and finishing
• A deep look at how AI fits into the modern creative and professional process
• Encouragement for anyone who’s a “master of almost” themselves

This isn’t a podcast for perfect people. It’s for the rest of us — the thinkers, the dabblers, the distracted-but-determined.

🎧 Press play, nod knowingly, and don’t worry — you don’t have to finish the episode in one sitting. That would kind of defeat the point.
