Founder of BloomingBound | Author of "100 Viral Quotes & Why I Wrote Them" | Sharer of Thoughts 💭

I'm a 3x founder, content creator, and military veteran passionate about startup team dynamics.

To date, I've launched ventures in the HR, social media, and team performance spaces.

I've also somehow managed to turn many mistakes along my entrepreneurial journey into eventual success. Too many people think of their failures as the end of the road. But they are the beginning of something better!

I post daily content on leadership, culture, hiring, careers, and startups. If this sounds helpful, give me a follow :)

I Help Senior, Principal, and Director Level Professionals Land Life-Changing $150k - $350k+ Roles | Founder & Career Coach @ Broda Coaching | Hiring Manager & Product Leader | Amazon, Boeing | Husband & Dad

Are you ready for a role that levels up your salary and career? 
I've got the solution. 

After a successful corporate journey in Aerospace and Big Tech, I moved into the career coaching space. I fell in love with helping employees level-up as a Manager, and wanted to make it my full-time calling.

Since that moment, I've helped over 400 Sr-level professionals land life-changing roles at companies like Meta, Airbnb, Google, Spotify, Deloitte, GE, Lockheed, JPMorgan, Microsoft, Amazon, and more.

My job search methodology is different.

Yes, I'm a career coach, but I'm also a job placement systems engineer.

My program leverages personalized 1:1 coaching sessions, exclusive networks of people, streamlined job search strategies, and cutting-edge tools & resources.

I've refined my coaching system (called 'Better Work') to focus on proven systems that get jobs fast, while deprioritizing tasks that don't produce.

The results speak for themselves.

↳ 400+ professionals placed into better roles
↳ Helped increase Final Offers by an average of 13%
↳ The average client lands 8.1 interviews with my system
↳ Create 3X more LinkedIn profile views in the first 30 days
↳ In 2025, we increased client compensation by $34K on average

We'll help lock in on your optimum target audience.
We'll reposition your brand, your stories, and your marketing strategy.
We'll drive visibility while connecting you with decision makers and industry contacts.

And most importantly: I don't stop until you're in a better job. Guaranteed.

Disclaimer: My program is not for everyone.
It's completely optimized for Senior, Principal, and Director-level professionals. 

The program is also selective (I can't take everyone), and seats are limited to ensure clients get ample  1:1 time and attention.

Most executives spend 2-3 hrs a day job searching and get very little. Here's a breakdown of how I'd spend 1 focused hour each day.

First: 20 minutes on Visibility and Engagement

↳ Leave 10-15 intentional comments on posts from creators with big audiences, leaders at your target companies, and niche content in your space.

(Keep a list of the profiles you're targeting to save time)

Spend the last 5 mins engaging with anyone who interacted with you. Comment to start conversations, not to just be seen.

Then: 20 minutes on Outreach and Relationships

↳ Send 3-5 short, specific messages to target connections and people active on LinkedIn. No pitching. Just a real reason to connect. Then send 1-2 messages to old colleagues you have not talked to in a while.

Next: 10 minutes on Profile Work

↳ Optimize your headline, headshot, banner, and featured section for the roles you actually want. Aim for 5-6 recommendations from leaders, peers, and direct reports. Your profile is your first interview. Treat it that way.

Last: 10 minutes on Content Creation

↳ Build a small project that solves a real problem your target audience has. Turn that journey into content. 10 focused minutes a day stacks up fast over a few weeks.

There you have it.
You can rinse and repeat every hour.

Not doom-scrolling.
Not sending 10 'Easy Apply' applications.

Your time is valuable.
Do what moves the needle most.

The demand for remote work hasn't died down. 
But...remote job postings are at a 3-year low.
How I find remote opportunities ↓

That gap in supply and demand is real.
And it's making an already competitive market even harder for job seekers who need flexibility.

Remote jobs still exist; you've got to look for (and compete for) them differently:

Here is how to do it:

1. Search in the right places

Assuming you're looking for a 'remote possible' role,
Check out places like:

- We Work Remotely
- Remote[.]co
- FlexJobs
- Remotive
- Working Nomads
- Remote OK
- Jobspresso
- Pangian
- Dynamite Jobs
- Himalayas

These boards filter out hybrid and RTO noise.
Get cleaner results. Waste less time.

2. Follow the VC money into start-ups

Series A, B, and C funded companies are actively building teams. Many default to remote because they haven't locked into office leases yet OR they know they can poach top talent.

Use Crunchbase or TechCrunch's funding roundups to find companies that raised in the last 90 days.

Those companies will likely hire remote roles soon. 

3. 'Remote Ready' Resume & LinkedIn

Recruiters scan for this.
List tools you use: 
- Slack
- Zoom
- Notion
- Jira
- Asana
- Loom

Add a line in your about section that mentions distributed teams or async collaboration. Show that you've done it already. 

4. Network into the role before you apply

Remote roles get 3-5X more applications than on-site roles.
Applying and waiting doesn't work well here.

Find employees and connect with a short personal note.
Engage with the company's LinkedIn content.
Build a support network where possible. 

Warm applications convert at higher rates.
_ _ _

Remember: In a crowded job market, standing out is key. Once you find the roles, don't be afraid to get creative.

PS - Remote job seekers, what did I miss?
