Ditch the gift cards, scrap the underutilized benefits package, and focus on the individuals in your organization instead.

Companies looking to improve performance and retention should care about helping people get further faster towards what matters most in their life. We make this easy with tools to create personalized incentives, meaningful recognition & self-defined benefits that help their people unlock "sacred funds" towards their personal life goals.

Employee Motivation Simplified.

Evan Patterson

Last week I saw a job posting for "Chief Vibes Officer." I laughed. Then I saw the salary: $275,000 plus equity.

I stopped laughing and started updating my LinkedIn.

Remember when "Social Media Manager" wasn't a real job? Those people who laughed are poor now.

The same thing's happening with these roles:

Emotional Intelligence Architect 
- Maps emotional journeys, not customer journeys. Figures out your checkout triggers abandonment anxiety at step 3. ($250-400K)

AI Whisperer 
- Makes AI sound like your smartest friend, not Wikipedia having a stroke. Anthropic's paying $335K for this.

Visibility Alchemist 
- SEO for AI. Makes ChatGPT cite you instead of your competitor. ($175-300K because 90% of AI citations come from search positions 21+, not top 5)

GTM Engineer 
- Treats customer acquisition like distributed systems. Clay's 6x growth last year? These people. ($200-325K)

Emotional Data Scientist 
- Turns feelings into SQL queries. Figured out Tuesday sadness predicts Thursday purchases. ($175-325K)

Your English degree? Suddenly worth $200K. 

Your philosophy minor? That's your secret weapon. 

Time "wasted" on Reddit learning how people think? Congrats, you're qualified.

How to get these jobs before they exist:

Pick one role
Start doing it for free
Measure impact in dollars
Post the case study
Turn down first 3 offers (lowball)
Take the 4th (2x current salary)

McKinsey says demand for emotional skills will grow 26% by 2030. But these jobs are hiring NOW. They just don't know what to call them yet.
Be the person who tells them.

When they ask, "Is this even a real job?" smile and say, "It is now."

Then send them an invoice.

The gold rush started. Most people don't know yet.

The Jobs That Don't Exist Yet (But Will Pay $300K Next Year)

Me at a gay bar last night… my friend: “Trump being our first out(ed) LGBTQ+ President was not on my BINGO Card.”

Me, a fellow Gay™️: “Really? With that much gender affirming care? Between the Jersey Shore look, the cheap wig, an Vance’s eyeliner, we all know who’s having the ice salad and who’s ordering the steak, if you know you know, wink wink nudge nudge.”

A gay guy showing his straight girl friend around the bar: *spits drink out laughing onto girl by accident*

Me: “See? Even we spit. Donnie Josephine Trump sure as h*ll doesn’t.”

Ready isn't a feeling, it's a choice.

Do your due diligence, sure, but you do not have to have it all figured it out. 

Launch that business, get it wrong, reiterate, get the feedback, churn that customer, drop that ball, live and learn.

Being ready doesn't mean you won't make mistakes.

Being ready means you're deciding that you need to allow yourself to do your best, which means you will make mistakes, and you will learn from those mistakes, and you will keep doing this til the day you die.

You got this, boo.

A lot of founder-led companies stall out for one simple reason: They hire Business Development before they build Marketing. BD is not a band-aid for founder burnout, folks... it is a scaling function. Marketing is the prerequisite.

If you don’t have:
• positioning
• ICP
• a narrative
• content
• demand-gen
• enablement
• a POV

…BD will fail.

I have zero success stories of the “BD first, marketing later” model working. Not one.

It’s a sequencing issue.

Your decisions determine whether you grow — or stall.

Every founder thinks they’re the exception. And every time, I watch the exact same story play out: A founder-led company hits that weird middle stage
