Resume Writer & Remote Career Coach + I’m “That Remote Guy” 🙋🏻‍♂️ Helping people find the remote career they’ve dreamed of in less time + Join 30K+ on the Escape the Cubicle Newsletter👇

You can work from anywhere. I’ll show you how. 👇

A Google search back in 2015 changed the course of my career, “How do you make money online?”

I was at a crossroads in my career and ready to make a change. I knew it was time to start building my own thing, a thing that someone couldn’t take away overnight. 

After discovering the world of freelancing, I replaced my income and never looked back. By the second year, I was able to triple that income (more than I ever thought possible) because of one platform: LinkedIn

LinkedIn allowed me to connect with clients all over the world, right at my fingertips. The opportunities that LinkedIn has opened up have been life-changing.

Now, I get to help others use LinkedIn to build a remote career as a Career Coach & Resume Writer and their own profitable brand as a Growth Strategist. I’ll help coach you on growing an online income through LinkedIn, a newsletter (like Substack), and a digital product.

…oh, and I still write amazing, interview-winning resumes if you need that. Just send a DM, and I’ll provide a free review for you. Or email it to me at (JohnHancockResumes@gmail.com).

There's a better way to work. Let me show you how to find it.

Wes Pearce

Good salary makes you show up. Great culture makes you want to stay.


I've watched people convince themselves that toxic workplace culture is "just how it is."

Meanwhile, their enthusiasm is gone. Their best ideas stay unshared. Their Sunday nights are filled with dread.

All because they've been told that culture "isn't a good enough reason" to leave.

Here's what actually happens when you prioritize culture:

-You perform better because you're not constantly fighting your environment.

-You grow faster because you're learning from people who lift you up, not tear you down.

-You become the version of yourself that actually gets promoted—because you're not using all your energy just to survive the day.

I've had clients turn down offers with 20% more money.

Every single time? They chose the place with better culture instead.

Companies will post about "culture" and "values" in their job ads, but somehow YOU'RE the unrealistic one for actually expecting those things to be true?

Here's the real risk:

Staying so long in a bad culture that you normalize behavior you'd never accept anywhere else.

The best companies don't want people who just tolerate dysfunction.

They want people who've experienced great culture and refuse to settle for less.

Your career is too short to spend it miserable.

Make sure you're optimizing for fulfillment, not just endurance.

I keep watching this exact scenario unfold:


Someone leaves a company that treated them like they were invisible.

Overlooked. Denied raises they deserved three times over.

Then months later, their old colleagues see them thriving at a different organization.

Leading projects. Getting recognized. Finally using the skills that sat dormant for so long.

Suddenly the previous manager reaches out. “Would you ever consider returning?"

The answer is almost always no.

Because something fundamental changes when you exit a place that never saw your worth: you discover what genuine respect feels like.

✅ You end up in meetings where people ask for your input, not talk over you.

✅ You work under leaders who fight for your growth instead of limiting it.

✅ You join environments where recognition is standard practice, not something they remember during your goodbye.

The difference isn't that you improved at your craft. That ability was already present.

It's about finding somewhere that actually understands how to leverage what you offer.

That previous position taught you something critical, even if it stung: certain places don't deserve what you're capable of.

The best decision is often leaving and watching them figure out too late what they lost.

📌 If you’re needing more inspiration, I’ve been writing about this on my Substack newsletter: EscapeTheCubicle.Substack.Com  

For a year now, I’ve been talking about how to take your talents/skills and build your own portfolio career. 

Grown to 14,000+ subscribers who are taking control of their careers…

Quitting that toxic job won’t make you look like a “job hopper.” Trust me. 


It makes you someone who values their well-being more than someone else's perception.

I've watched clients stay in toxic jobs because they're paralyzed by what it might look like on their resume or LinkedIn.

Meanwhile, their health is declining. Their relationships are suffering. Their spark is gone.

All to avoid being labeled a "job hopper" by people who've never walked in their shoes.

Here's what actually happens when you leave toxicity quickly:

—You reclaim months (or years) of your life that you would've spent miserable.

—You show future employers that you have boundaries—and you're not afraid to enforce them.

—You give yourself permission to find a place where you can actually thrive, not just survive.

I've had clients leave jobs after 3 months, after 6 months, after realizing on day one that the role was misrepresented.

Every single one? They found something better within weeks.

Because the only thing worse than a short stint on your resume is a long stint that breaks you.

Companies will eliminate your position without a second thought, but somehow you’re the flaky one for leaving when the environment is damaging your health?

The real risk? Staying so long that the toxicity becomes your baseline and you forget what a healthy workplace even feels like.

The best hiring managers don't judge you for leaving quickly.

They judge you for how you talk about it, what you learned, and what you're looking for instead.

Your mental health isn't negotiable.

Make sure your career reflects that.

Let’s stop shaming people for leaving a toxic job. They’re not quitting, they’re standing up for their career. 


Maria came to me at 40, exhausted and defeated.

For eight years, she'd been working at a company where her ideas were dismissed, her achievements went unrecognized, and her manager took credit for her work. 

She stayed because she feared starting over would mean "throwing away" her experience.

"But what if I can't find anything else at my age?" she asked during our first session.
I see this fear paralyze so many talented professionals. The belief that starting over means starting from zero. The worry that age makes you less valuable.

Neither is true.

Together, we took inventory of her transferable skills – project management, team leadership, client relations – skills that transcend any specific role or industry.

Then we identified her non-negotiables:

✅ Remote to eliminate hercommute
✅ Collaborative culture that valued input
✅ Clear opportunities for growth
✅ Work that aligned with her core values

Maria hesitated when I suggested she could find all four. 

“That feels like asking for too much," she said. Three months later, she proved herself wrong.

After submitting 20+ applications, doing 4 interviews, and turning down 2 offers that didn't meet her criteria, Sarah landed a fully remote position with a company whose mission she believes in – at a 15% higher salary than her previous role.

The best part? She recently told me: "For the first time in years, I feel valued. My manager actually thanked me for my contributions last week. I didn't realize how starved I was for basic recognition."

Maria’s story isn't about starting from nothing. It's about having the courage to use everything she'd learned to write a better next chapter.

If you're staying in a toxic environment because you fear starting over, remember: 

You're not starting from zero. You're starting from experience.

Question: What would you do in your career if you weren't afraid of beginning again?

The career advice that's actually ruining people: "Just stick it out for two years."


No. Quitting a job early is ok. Moving on is ok. Changing careers is ok.

But what's not ok? Staying in a toxic job that doesn't value or appreciate your worth.

I've seen people stay in awful situations for years because they're terrified of how it'll look.

"What will people think?"

"What if recruiters see this as a red flag?"

"What if I can't explain the gap?"

Meanwhile, they're miserable. Anxious. Watching their skills and confidence erode month after month.

The hiring managers worth working for don't care that you left a bad situation quickly.

They care that you recognized it was bad and had the self-respect to walk away.

Staying in a toxic job doesn't make you loyal. It makes you unavailable for the right opportunity when it shows up.

Your resume doesn't need to be perfect. It needs to tell the truth.

And the truth is: sometimes the smartest career move is knowing when to leave.

Stop sacrificing your mental health to avoid an awkward conversation in an interview.

Any company that judges you for protecting your well-being isn't a company you want to work for anyway.

You don't owe toxicity your time, your energy, or your future.

Leave. Recover. Find better.

That's not quitting. That's leveling up.

Leaving a toxic job doesn't make you a “quitter.”


It makes you someone who finally understood their worth.

For years, we were gaslit into believing:

"Be grateful you have a job."
"It's not supposed to be fun."
"Everywhere is like this."

No. Everywhere is NOT like this.

That Sunday anxiety?
That's not normal.

Crying in your car before work?
Not a rite of passage.

Feeling physically sick at the thought of Monday?
That's your body screaming at you to leave.

And when you finally do?

Society calls you ungrateful. Entitled. A quitter.

I call it self-preservation.

Here's what nobody tells you:
You don't have to find another box to fit into.

You can build a career around YOUR life. Not someone else's org chart.

The people leaving toxic workplaces aren't just job hopping anymore.

They're becoming consultants who triple their hourly rate.

- Coaches who work 20 hours a week.
- Freelancers who choose their clients.
- Writers who monetize their expertise.
- Creators who own their time.

They're not asking for permission anymore.

They're building portfolio careers that actually fit their skills, values, and lives.

More money. More flexibility. Zero Sunday scaries.

That toxic job taught you something valuable:

You're worth more than they were paying you. In every sense of the word.

Walking away wasn't quitting.

It was the beginning.

📌 I’ve been writing about this on my Substack EscapeTheCubicle.Substack.Com, everything from portfolio careers and becoming a solopreneur. 

It’s grown to a community of 14,000+ subscribers all inspired to escape their own cubicles. 

I’d love for you to join up and follow along.

I stayed on the wrong train, wrong dead end job for two years.

 
I knew within the first three months the job wasn't what they'd sold me. 

The culture was toxic. The growth opportunities didn't exist. My manager was actively holding me back.

But I stayed.

"Maybe it'll get better." "I just need to prove myself." "What will it look like if I leave this soon?"

So I rode that train for two more years. 

Watching my confidence drain, skills stagnate, and mental health decline.

When I finally got off, the return trip cost me everything. It took six months to rebuild my confidence. 

All because I was too afraid to admit I was on the wrong train.

Here's what I learned: The cost of staying is always higher than the cost of leaving.

And the return trip? It's not just about finding a new job. 

It's about undoing the damage: rebuilding your self-worth, recovering your energy, remembering who you were before that place broke you down.

If you know you're on the wrong train, get off at the next station.

Not next year. Not after you hit some arbitrary milestone. Now.

The longer you wait, the more expensive the return trip becomes.

And some costs you can't get back.

I'll never forget the boss who looked at my resume and said: "You don't have the experience we typically look for."


Then added: "But I like how you think. Let's give you a shot."

No traditional qualifications. No industry background. 

Just curiosity, drive, and a willingness to figure it out.

That one decision changed the trajectory of my entire career. Not because I was the most skilled candidate.

Because someone saw my potential instead of just a piece of paper.

Fast forward, and I've now been on the other side of that table hundreds of times.

And here's what I've learned: the candidates who look perfect on paper aren't always the ones who perform.

The ones who succeed? They're coachable. Hungry. Resilient.

You can teach someone a software system in two weeks.

You can't teach someone to give a damn.

✅ If you're hiring: take a chance on the person with the right attitude over the one with the perfect resume.

✅ If you're job searching: find the leader who's willing to bet on your potential, not just your past.

That person exists.

And when you find them, you'll spend the rest of your career trying to pay that forward.

Staying loyal to a toxic workplace isn't dedication.

It's self-sabotage.

When that voice whispers 'There must be something better',
it's not doubt speaking.
It's your potential screaming to break free.

✅ An environment that doesn't drain you
✅ A role where you can grow your career
✅ A workplace where support isn't just a buzzword

Taking that first step feels scary.
But it doesn't have to be.

Transform fear into action:

1. Face the truth
↳ Whether it's money, fear or confidence. Write what's holding you back.

2. Build your exit
↳ What skills, connections or savings do you need to move on?

3. Have the conversations
↳ First with yourself. Then mentors, friends and future employers.

You don't have to stay where you're not valued.
You deserve more.

Your job is temporary.

Your family is permanent.

At work, you can be replaced.
At home, you can't.

Deadlines keep coming.
Promotions keep shifting.
But your kids won't stay kids forever.
Your parents won't always be around.

Coworkers may clap for your achievements.
But it's your family who stands by you when things fall apart.

⚡ The corporate world calls you a "resource."
Your family calls you irreplaceable.

Here's the truth about success:
Promotions fade.
Titles change.
Awards collect dust.
But the memories you create outlive every milestone.

A 30-second video stopped me cold.

A child walking behind an adult.
Copying every move.
Every gesture.
Every step.

This wasn't cute.
It was a warning.

We're all walking lesson plans.
Living examples.
Teaching whether we mean to or not.

Your actions are their textbook:

→ The parent who snaps at a waiter teaches contempt
→ The leader who cuts corners teaches shortcuts over integrity
→ The adult glued to a screen teaches that presence doesn't matter

At home. At work. Everywhere.
Someone is watching.
Someone is learning.
Someone is becoming what we model.

You can't outsource character.
You can't delegate values.
You can't preach one thing and practice another without consequences.

The question isn't if we're teaching.
It's what we're teaching.

Every choice is a lesson.
Every reaction is curriculum.
Every moment you think no one's watching, they are.

If a child or your team copied you for a week,
would you be proud of who they became?

Watch. Reflect. Adjust.
Because they're learning whether you mean to teach or not.

🧭 Follow Leonardo Freixas for leadership that models what matters

Your brain is lying to you right now.

And it thinks it's saving your life.

When new information challenges what you believe, your brain does the easiest thing.

It slams the brakes.

It already burns 20% of your daily energy just keeping you alive.
Challenging your own thinking costs fuel.

So it whispers the deadliest sentence in business: "You already know this."

You see the fallout everywhere:
→ Executives stuck in 2018
→ Teams killing ideas with "that's not how we do it here"
→ Pros convinced their last promotion was their peak

Cornell researchers call this the Dunning-Kruger effect.
The twist is brutal.
People with the least knowledge show the most confidence.

Your most wrong colleagues are usually your loudest.

But there's a way out.
Neuroplasticity.

Your brain can rewrite itself.
Every time you admit you were wrong, you weaken the resistance to learning something new.
That's how growth starts.

Once your brain accepts it misread something as simple as compound interest, it starts asking what else it got wrong about leadership, strategy, innovation.

The best companies don't train skills.
They train curiosity.

They turn "I already know" into "What am I missing?"
Certainty into questions.
Assumptions into experiments.

What's the one thing you're too certain about in your work?

The most "successful" person in your company probably cries in their car.
Tears they'd never show in a meeting.

I've seen it firsthand.
The dashboard glow.
Hands gripping the wheel.

Bonuses.
Stock options.
Everyone's respect.
But no peace.

Success without significance is just expensive loneliness.

The people who leave a mark?
They don't build empires. They build people.

→ The boss who promotes people past their own level
→ The mentor who celebrates when you outgrow them
→ The colleague who makes you brilliant in meetings

That's leadership.
Quiet. Generous. Uncelebrated.

While others chase ladders,
they plant forests.

Real success isn't about being remembered.
It's about who keeps growing because you were here.
That's legacy.

🧭 Follow Leonardo Freixas for more on leading quietly

Most people stand at the edge and think they can't cross.
That's the lie they tell themselves.
The truth? They won't cross.

I stood at that edge once.
Every reason to leap was staring at me.
Then I heard my own voice: "Maybe next year when things are more stable."

I wasn't scared I couldn't do it.
I was scared of who I'd become if I did.

The real barrier isn't your capability.
It's your identity.

Watch how people rationalize staying small:

→ "I'm not that type of person"
→ "I need more time to prepare"
→ "People will think I've changed"
→ "I'm just being realistic"

Every excuse protects the same thing —
the story you've been telling about yourself.

Here's what crossing really costs:

You have to kill who you were.
Admit you've been playing beneath your potential.
Let go of the comfortable lies that kept you safe.
Disappoint the people who needed you small.
Become someone you don't recognize yet.

The gap isn't about ability.
It's about identity.
Who you're willing to become on the other side.

Most people would rather stay right about their limitations than risk being wrong about their potential.

The question was never whether you can cross.
It's whether you're willing to leave behind the person who wouldn't.

I watched him fall backward from the 8th stair.
Not stumble. Fall completely.

The trampoline caught him.
Compressed him.
Launched him to the 12th.

Physics doesn't work that way.
But resilience does.

It reminded me of someone I know.
She'd been climbing for three years.
Steady promotions. Safe plays.
Then it all collapsed.

Demotion.
Two levels down.
Everyone staring.

But the fall cracked her open.
And everything powerful spilled out.

→ She learned to fight when cornered
→ Found out which allies were real when stakes got high
→ Discovered muscles she didn't know existed
→ Stopped protecting what was left, and built from zero

Six months later:
Different company. Bigger title. Better pay.

The impact didn't break her.
It compressed her into something stronger.

Your career isn't a ladder.
It's a slingshot.

You will fall. Everyone does.
The only question is, will you use the bounce?

🧭 Follow Leonardo Freixas for insights that trust the physics of setbacks

You don't train perspective.
You earn it.

Through broken dreams.
Failed ventures.
Empty accounts.
The 3 AM panic when you realize you have to start over.

This year taught me something no book ever could:

Your mind doesn't change from reading about resilience.
It changes when resilience is the only card left in your hand.

There's a difference between people who study struggle and people who've bled through it.

Here's what real perspective looks like:

→ Before the fall
You think struggle is a mindset glitch
Success tricks you into feeling untouchable  
Every setback feels small because you've never watched everything burn

→ During the rebuild
Reality becomes your harshest teacher
Your ego becomes a luxury you can't afford
Every breath forward feels earned because you know what rock bottom costs

→ After surviving
Perspective isn't practiced
It's carved into your bones
You spot the difference between people who quote adversity and people who've lived it

I didn't build mental strength through meditation.
I built it because breaking wasn't an option.

When you're burnt out, broke, and questioning everything, wisdom books turn into paperweights.
What matters is the next move when you have nothing left to lose.

The strongest leaders aren't the ones who trained their minds in comfort.
They're the ones who rebuilt their lives from scraps.

What did losing everything teach you that success never could?

Be the person everyone wants to work with.

7 traits that make you the one they count on:
 
Spoiler: It’s not just talent.
Seen it time and again.
Being good at your job is useless if no one wants to work with you.

The people who rise?
They don’t just get noticed because they’re smart.
But because of how they work with others.

Here's how to be that person everyone fights to have on their team:

1. Be consistent 🤝
↳ Show up with the same positive energy daily
↳ Deliver on your promises without drama
↳ Treat everyone with equal respect, always

Consistency builds trust faster than occasional brilliance.

2. Master active listening 👂
↳ Focus on understanding, not just responding
↳ Take notes during meetings 
↳ Ask questions that drive solutions

People value feeling heard more than hearing your ideas.

3. Show genuine interest 🎯
↳ Celebrate team wins first
↳ Learn about projects beyond your scope
↳ Understand your manager's vision

Interest isn't transactional - it builds real connection.

4. Take ownership instantly 💪
↳ Own both successes and failures equally
↳ Focus on solutions, not blame
↳ Step up when challenges hit

Nothing builds respect faster than accountability.

5. Own your mistakes 🔍
↳ Acknowledge errors quickly
↳ Keep it brief, honest, solution-focused
↳ Follow through with action

Humility makes you stronger, not weaker.

6. Be appreciative 🙌
↳ Thank people more often
↳ Share positive feedback instantly
↳ Recognize effort, not just results

Recognition is the currency of great teamwork.

7. Read the room intelligently 🎯
↳ Adapt your communication style
↳ Choose collaboration over competition
↳ Know when to speak up vs. listen

Here's the truth:
Your most valuable career trait isn't what you know.
It's how easy you make it for others to succeed.

Which trait changed your career most?

They built a power plant.

Then put a ski slope on top. 🏔️

Copenhagen just changed everything.

Meet CopenHill:
Where your trash becomes your playground.

The numbers that matter:
• 600,000 tons of waste processed yearly
• Powers 160,000 homes with clean energy
• Captures 4 tons of CO₂ daily = like removing 900 cars from the road
• Zero visible emissions with advanced filtration

The fun that follows:
• Year-round skiing with eco-friendly Neveplast
• World's tallest artificial climbing wall (85 meters)
• Rooftop trails overlooking the city

This isn't just infrastructure.
It's imagination made real.

Copenhagen proved something we forgot:
Cities don't have to choose between function and joy.
Sustainability doesn't have to sacrifice experience.
Progress can look like play.

They took society's biggest problem and turned it into a destination.

Would you ski down a power plant? 👀

Your city could be next.

Most corporate reports bore people to death.

Apple made theirs must-watch TV. 🍎

No jargon.
No 100-page PDF.
Just pure impact that went viral:

→ 100% clean electricity in every store
→ 100% recycled aluminum in every device
→ Zero plastic packaging by 2025
→ Forests & mangroves restored worldwide
→ 63 billion gallons of water saved

The hidden power move?
Apple turned corporate responsibility from a checkbox into a movement.

Three leadership lessons hiding in plain sight:

𝟭. 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗲𝘅𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗞𝗶𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝗧𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁
Most leaders hide behind data
Real impact needs real words
If your mom doesn't get it, rewrite it

𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗲, 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁
Numbers inform
Stories transform
Choose your weapon wisely

𝟯. 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗼𝘄 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲
2030: Every Apple device goes net zero
Clear target, clear timeline
No room for corporate poetry

Sorry to break it this way:
Your glossy 100-page sustainability report? Nobody's reading it.
But a story that sparks action?
That's how legends are built.

Would your boardroom pass the Mother Nature test? 🌎

Your work policy has nothing to do with work.

It's a trust test. And most companies are failing it.

Only 19% of professionals want full office work in 2025.
Yet too many companies still treat flexibility like a perk, not a principle.

Stanford tracked 16,000 workers over 9 months.
The results:

→ 40% productivity boost in remote workers
→ 21% higher profits for flexible companies
→ 46% would quit over forced office mandates

That's not opinion. That's data screaming one word: trust.

The real debate isn't remote vs. office.
It's whether you believe your people do their best work when no one's watching.

Because when you trust people to own their time,
they give you loyalty, innovation, and work that punches above their job description.

So here's the real question:

What work model actually unlocks your best performance?
