    500 - The Quincentenary (the 500th Episode)
    Mar 7 2025

    It’s been over 10 years since we started the Contracting Officer Podcast. See the whole library at http://GovConPodcast.com!

    “It has been a great ride making these episodes each week. We’ve managed to navigate changing rules in GovCon, struggles with how to make huge concepts simpler, issues with timing, travel, sound recording, echoes, software blips, and even occasionally technical fails where we had to redo the whole episode. It’s all worth it. I love creating these episodes every week: doing the work, getting better every time thanks to feedback from our listeners.”

    - Kevin Jans

    Here in the 500th episode, Kevin and Paul cover a short history of what got them to 500, some things that have changed, some things that have not, and what’s next (hint: another 500 episodes!). The podcast will continue to support Skyway’s Mission of Bring Context to Both Sides of GovCon to help people to Do GovCon Well.

    NOTE: given the turbulent times of GovCon right now, we are here to help you navigate GovCon as it is, within the rules we have, with the options we have…to get the job done. If you’re struggling through the Fog of GovCon right now, reach out to our team at http://AskSkyway.com. We’re here to help.

It’s dry, it’s long, it’s so helpful!!!!

If your looking to expand your knowledge on getting into contracting this is the place to be! Within the first couple episodes I have a book full of notes and list of things to do to help us grow.

Easy to follow and learn.

This makes the field of contracting easier to digest and put information learned into practice. Grateful that I can listen on my doggy walks and make it part of my morning ritual. Super thankful!
