July 2015 to Sept, 2017. Resumed again October, 2019. 

You don't hear much about the affordability crisis on LinkedIn. Or even much about the tighter labor market. You'd think a professional platform would talk about the ground reality? But the reality that our young workers face doesn't sell Ads or promote the PR of BigTech companies. 

A platform that isn't in touch with GenZ. Meanwhile in reality, the unemployment rate for Americans between 20 and 24 just hit a ten-year high (excluding the pandemic). (see infographic below). 

Capitalism “isn’t working for young people,” the venture capitalist Peter Thiel told The Free Press this last week according to an Op-Ed by Derek Thompson. 

Scott Galloway seems to see himself as the spokesperson for this generation. He says he "believes young Americans are fed up with a country they’re raised to love but that doesn’t love them back." How true but how tragic? As an older generation holds on to power they are damaging the future, and it's not just a brutal labor market, the environment or national debt they are leaving the next generation. 

"Our spending priorities (entitlements), tax policies (capital gains and mortgage interest deductions), and fiscal priorities (bail-outs of incumbents) are the greatest transfer of wealth from young to old in history."

So why are Derek Thompson and Scott Galloway writing about this topic so much? Because demographics matters to how the future turns out. Are young people screwed in a world of AI, automation, workslop, inflation and wages that don't keep up with the cost of living? Where the average home buyer now skews 40 and the average young person plans on not getting married?

The unemployment rate among 16- to 24-year-olds is 10.5% — the highest since the pandemic and, excluding that period, the highest since 2016. Zoomers (GenZ) report feeling more lonely, depressed, and anxious, and less successful, than other generations. Why aren't we talking about this?

We are raising young people to follow the K-shaped recovery down, down in opportunity. Down in the ability to thrive and maybe even to survive. Immigration is down and wealth inequality is rising, what could possibly go wrong? There's a hiring freeze and we are telling young people AI will take their jobs if they aren't "AI literate" (whatever that means). 

The average age of first-time buyers just hit 40, an all-series record, according to the National Association of REALTORS. Toxic politics and ideology has driven a gender divide among U.S. youth in many parts of the country. Young men seem to be adapting worse, many falling between the cracks. 

Americans expect the labor situation to get even worse. A lot of young people feel powerless in a world that is leaving them and their future behind. While Tech Oligarchs and Tycoons talk business as usual and the transformative power of AI. Ask a young person if this is remotely true. I find more wisdom about the future on 5 min of TikTok, than a week on LinkedIn. We need to become more honest with what's going on.

Founder, Newsletter operator, A.I. Writer, Emerging tech analyst.

CEO and Co-Founder

Notch Trading Inc.

Notch Trading Inc. was launched to help companies take advantage of the evergrowing and at times very overwhelming ecommerce space. Ecommerce is a challenge for many small and mid-sized companies, because they do not have the skills internally to launch their products online effectively. What often ends up happening is they have their "IT guy" launch their ecommerce venture, because "he knows about computers". When the venture inevitably fails, the company is left losing a bunch of money and never want to touch ecommerce again.

Knowing about computers does not equate knowing ecommerce.

We help companies avoid the above scenario.

We will either work for you as your retailer, or we can advise and guide you on how to grow your own, existing ecommerce business. The ultimate goal for us is to ensure your success.

Real Estate Webmasters

The role of Sales Operations Manager was created as part of building out the sales and marketing team, headed up by the Director of Sales. Responsibilities were related to report development, developing training material and coaching the sales team on sales skills and technical skills as well as day to day sales management supporting the sales manager.

Sales Operations Manager

Company was growing at the time, and we had several buildings. It was becoming a challenge to handle the various buildings without processes in place. I managed a small team of people, who handled the day to day building management, negotiated with contractors, building owners, local authorities etc. to ensure a smooth daily operation of the company.

Additionally, I also oversaw the IT department, whose job was to ensure all ~180 workstations were always up and running. As there had been no process in place for running IT within the company, we had a lot of work ahead of us to ensure IT operations ran smoothly.

IT & Facilities Manager

After a company restructure adding a management layer, I was the first manager, and the only person to get promoted to this management layer within Real Estate Webmasters. As the Support & Implementation Manager, I oversee 40+ people in 7 departments. As no management layer had been in place previously, a lot of work was required to streamline production within the customer service and implementation department. The restructure resulted in:

- Streamlining the supply chain
- Increased productivity by creating specialist roles
- Greatly improved the customer onboarding process

Further to restructuring the existing teams, I created several new roles to take care of the demand for tools and statistics, better bug tracking and bug fixing and mass patching.

- Migrated codebase from SVN to GitHub which means custom development of sites is now far more efficient, and we can manage the very large number of individual, custom websites
- Developed several statistics tools to get better insights into the company's performance

I also oversee a team of server administrators and data feed analysts as they manage 2000+ VM's with individual codebases and 400+ data feeds. Some of the challenges have been due to the sheer amount of VM's, various versions of codebases, various versions of server software and the custom nature of the products.

- Managed several migrations of clients from Plesk and Openstack environments to new Openstack environment
- Standardization of server software versioning and codebases for easier management
- Migrate feeds from Plesk to Openstack cloud
- Implement CDN for all customers

Skills used: Strategic Planning, Leadership and Management, Negotiation, Project Management, Customer Service

Support and Implementation Manager

Within the first 2.5 months of starting as Sales Manager, I achieved my goal of increasing the old sales record by 20% in a month, and actually beat it by 50%! Beat the old record twice more that fiscal year.

Developed and implemented tracking tools and improved the following KPI's:
- Average Close Rate: 20% increase
- Increased "New Customer Acquisition" by 314%

Develop and implemented a sales process tailored to the team's type of sales. With an ever increasing team, having a strong, tried and tested sales process makes it much easier bringing new people onboard.

I'm very dedicated to my craft and even more dedicated to spreading my knowledge and motivating my team to be peak performers. Even with my own professional goals, I always make time to help my staff sell and explain the how's and why's of a sales situation. I'm extremely positive and use this to motivate my team to produce above and beyond what they thought possible, but more importantly to help our customers increase their online business.

Skills used: Strategic Analysis, Leadership, Management, Team Development, Sales Training, Complex Software Sales, Project Management, SEO, Negotiation. Excel.
