Early in my GTM career, I pushed products I didn't believe in.
I knew weren't ready.
Watched clients struggle with what I sold them.
Hit my KPIs. Made decent money. Felt empty every day.

A client once asked me point blank: "Would you use this yourself?"
I didn't have an answer.
That's when I knew something had to change.

Now I apply the same filter to everything.

The tools I recommend. The content I create. The partnerships I pursue.
If I haven't used it, I don't push it.


✅ 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟮: 𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁
I stayed in roles under leaders I didn't respect.

Told myself the experience was worth it. That I'd learn what NOT to do.

Instead, I picked up habits that took years to unlearn.

I learned to avoid hard conversations. 
To optimize for optics over outcomes.
To play politics instead of solving problems.

Bad habits I had to unlearn later.

I ask harder questions. I talk to people who've worked for them. I trust my gut when something feels off.


✅ 𝗥𝘂𝗹𝗲 𝟯: 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗼𝘆
This one clicked when I was onboarded 115 creators for Canva's Evangelist program now Canvassador Program.

Skills mattered. But the ones who lasted weren't always the most talented.

If someone drained me in a 30-minute call, I knew they'd drain the whole team over 6 months.

I started asking myself: Would I want to be stuck in an airport with this person for 6 hours?

If the answer was no, I didn't hire them. No matter how talented.


Looking back, these rules sound obvious.

But when you're chasing titles or validation, you convince yourself the tradeoff is worth it.

It rarely is.

Everyone quotes the 10,000 hours to mastery rule.
Nobody talks about this part: 👇🏻

Elite athletes spend 60% of their time recovering.
Not grinding. Recovering.

Let that sit for a second.



The best performers in the world rest more than they work.

But we’ve been sold a different story:
- More hours = more success
- Breaks = lazy
- Rest = losing

It’s complete bullshit.


What happens when you skip recovery:

❌Your decisions get sloppy.
❌Your creativity dies.
❌Your “productivity” becomes scrolling with extra steps.
❌You’re not executing. You’re just tired.



I have watched this play out constantly:

🛑The founder who hasn’t taken a real weekend in 8 months. Wonders why the ideas stopped coming.

🛑The operator clocking 70-hour weeks. Can’t figure out why nothing actually moves.

🛑The creator posting every single day. Burns out because “consistency” became a cage.

Same mistake every time.
Mistaking motion for progress.


Nobody wants to admit:

Your next breakthrough won’t come from another all-nighter.

It’ll show up after you finally stop and let your brain breathe.



Peak performance isn’t constant grinding.
It’s knowing when to sprint and when to step back.

Stop treating exhaustion like a badge.
Start building recovery into your operating system.



Those athletes spending 60% of their time recovering?

They’re not slacking off.
They’re setting up to win.
Your brain’s no different.



What would you actually change if you treated rest as strategy instead of something you “earn”?

In a few hours, I turn 35.
I don't know how to feel about it.

Part of me still feels like that 25-year-old who was just figuring things out.

Wide-eyed. Convinced there was endless time.

The other part looks back at the last decade and realizes how much has changed.

I got married. Built a career. Made mistakes. Learned from them. 
Started over more times than I can count.

Watched friends have kids, move across the country, build lives that look nothing like what we imagined at 25.

And somewhere in all of that, I tried to keep showing up.

Some days I did. Some days I just survived.
Some days I felt stuck and questioned everything.

Closing out 34, one thing keeps running through my head:

The uncertainty never goes away. You just get better at living with it.
The messy middle doesn't end. It just becomes your life.

And one day, I'll look back at 35 and miss it too.
The growth. The confusion. All of it.


I'll miss having these problems. Being in the thick of building. 
Still having so much runway ahead.

So instead of worrying about getting older, I'm choosing to actually live this year.

Not rushing to the next milestone.
Not waiting for things to feel settled. Just here.
In the uncomfortable, uncertain, still-becoming version of my life.

What would your future self tell you to appreciate about where you are right now? 👇 

Repost or share this with someone who needs to hear this today.

5 years later.
Same place. Different title. Same bullshit. 🔻 

You keep telling yourself it's different this time.
It's not. 🔻 

You're still in the same meetings.
Still dealing with the same politics.
Still hearing "we'll circle back on that."

And somehow you convinced yourself this is growth.

It's not growth.
It's a slow death you got comfortable with.

🔴 The truth you don't want to hear:

You're not stuck because they won't promote you.
You're stuck because you're too scared to stop running.

So you keep going.

More work.
More responsibilities.
3% raise.
Another meaningless title.
The wheel keeps spinning.

And you keep saying "just one more year."

What nobody absolutely nobody tells you:
The hamster wheel doesn't slow down.
You have to jump off.

And yeah, it's terrifying.
🟥  But you know what's more terrifying?

Waking up 5 years from now in the exact same spot.
Older. More tired. Still running.

So ask yourself:
If nothing changes, where will you be in 5 years?

Still here?
Still waiting?
Still telling yourself next year will be different?
Or will you finally stop running and start moving?

The choice is yours.
But the clock is ticking.

The moment you leave, someone says: "So... what do we think?"
Then silence.

Not because we're analyzing your answers.

Because we're trying to remember how we felt about you.

Sitting in these rooms I've watched this play out dozens of times.

We forget 80% of what you said within 10 minutes.


🟢 What sticks?

→ The energy you walked in with
→ Whether you asked questions that showed you cared
→ That moment you got genuinely excited about something
→ How you handled the question you didn't know


🤝 What we actually discuss after you leave:

→"Could I work with this person on a hard day?"
→"Did they seem curious or just prepared?"
→"Would they figure things out or wait to be told?"


❌ What we almost never discuss:

→Your perfect STAR answer.
→That accomplishment you rehearsed 50 times.
→The company mission statement you memorized.

The candidates who win aren't the most polished.
They're the ones who felt like a real conversation.
Not a performance.

👇

Used to show up at events, collect business cards, send those awkward "let's grab coffee" messages.

My LinkedIn connections went up.
My actual opportunities? Stayed flat.


So I tried something different.
Instead of chasing people, I made myself easy to find.

What changed:

✅→ 𝗜 𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿

Not "marketing expert" or "growth strategist."
I became the person who helped 21,000+ candidates get hired through job fairs and systems.
When someone needs that, they search. They find me.

✅→ 𝗜 𝗽𝗼𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄

Every post became a signal to the right people.
The ones who needed my help found me. The rest scrolled past.
That's the whole point.

✅→ 𝗜 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝗯𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗜 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴

Joined communities. Left real comments. Had actual conversations.
Not to pitch. Just to be present.
When opportunities came up, I wasn't a stranger asking for favors.

✅→ 𝗜 𝗹𝗲𝘁 𝗺𝘆 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝗲

Your headline and About section are working 24/7.
Most people treat them like a resume.
I treat mine like a storefront.

✅→ 𝗜 𝗴𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜 𝗸𝗻𝗲𝘄

Shared frameworks. Answered questions publicly.
Helped people I'd never meet.
Turns out generosity is the best visibility strategy.


The shift: Stop chasing 100 people hoping 5 respond.
Start attracting the 5 who already want what you offer.

I turn 35 today.

I've owned the domain KarmicXchange for 8 years.

Renewed it every year. Built nothing on it.

The idea was a karma economy for communities. 
Track good deeds.
Turn kindness into something visible and redeemable.

I loved talking about it. Never shipped it.

For 6 months, I kept opening my laptop to build it. 
Staring at the screen. Closing it. 
Telling myself next weekend.

Last weekend, I joined 10 Day Hackathon by Half Baked Newsletter and bolt.new 

Deadlines fixed overthinking.
So I shipped version 1.

Not the karma economy. That's still too big for my current skills.

A gratitude journal instead. 
You log what you're grateful for. Earn points. 
Top 5 people redeem Amazon vouchers.

Smaller than my vision. But it exists.

8 years of renewing a domain. 6 months of staring at screens. 
One weekend of actually finishing something.

Today felt right to share it.

I needed a line in the sand. A marker between the version of me who collects ideas and the version who puts things into the world.

The app is live. Rough. Works.
If you try it, tell me what's broken.

35 years to get here. Not waiting another 8 for the next one.

Annual review season just wrapped up.
🔺 Cost of living up 15%.
🔻 Average raise? 3%.

HR called it "above average."
Because most people got 2%.

So the reward for staying loyal is losing purchasing power slightly slower than your coworkers.

That's not a raise.
That's a retention calculation.

Companies know exactly what inflation looks like.
They have entire finance teams tracking it in real time.

The 3% isn't ignorance.
It's a bet.
A bet that you won't leave.

That the job market feels too scary.
That you'll convince yourself "at least I have stability."

And honestly?

Most years they're right.
Because leaving feels risky.

Staying feels safe.
Even when staying means watching your paycheck shrink against rent, groceries, and gas.

The real delusion isn't the number.
It's the framing.

Calling a pay cut "above average" because everyone else got cut deeper.
That's not compensation.
That's corporate math designed to make you feel grateful for less.

The question isn't whether you deserve more.
It's whether you're willing to act like you do.

🟩 They're on ChatGPT learning everything at 2x speed because they know they need to catch up fast.

Every meeting? Screenshot. 
Every detail? Noted. 

They care about getting it right.

And you know what's wild?

They catch the typo in the final deck that five people missed. 
The one that would've gone to the CEO.

🟩 They remember who likes which coffee. 

Not because they have to. 
Because they actually pay attention.

When they ask "why do we do it this way?" we get uncomfortable. 

But maybe we should listen. 
Maybe our processes are outdated and we're just too comfortable to admit it.
Fresh eyes see patterns we've trained ourselves to ignore.

They're first to arrive, last to leave. 

🟩 Trying to prove themselves in a system that's already decided they're just "the intern."

They mess up. 
Fix it. 
Learn. 
Repeat. 
No complaints. No drama.

🟩 You know what else?

They make their managers look smart. 
All that invisible work? 
The formatting at midnight? 
The messy notes turned into clear docs? 
That's them holding things together while learning everything from scratch.

🟩 By week 2, they know everyone's name. 

Meanwhile, the senior folks still can't remember the new hire from last month.
They bring solutions we haven't thought of. 

Not because they're smarter. 
Because they haven't learned to say "that's how we've always done it."

They step up when no one's watching. 
Because that's who they are.

AI is coming for your job but wait it needs to survive the interview process.

The hiring game changed.
And most people are still playing by 2019 rules.

Google gets 3 million applications a year.

Most have degrees.
Most get rejected.

The credential economy broke.

Everyone has the same qualifications.
Everyone looks identical on paper.

Companies stopped hiring resumes.
They started hiring proof.


🎖️What hiring managers ask now:

→ Can you solve problems?
→ Can you finish what you start?
→ Can you show me evidence?

Without proof, you're fighting an uphill battle.

Developer: "Built Chrome extension for job applications → 200+ downloads"

Writer: "Weekly SaaS newsletter → 1,200 subscribers in 4 months"

Pick something you'll finish in 2-4 weeks.

3️⃣ 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝗗𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

Naval Ravikant said something about careers that most people scroll past.

Stop competing. Start being weird.

1️⃣ I used to be the guy who planned everything. 

Projects, launches, ideas - all stuck in my head for months. Years, sometimes. 

Then I joined a hackathon on a random weekend. 

Built a gratitude app. Combined journaling with gamification and Amazon vouchers for top users. 

Weird? Absolutely. But I shipped it.

That app taught me what Naval already knew: 

✅ 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁. 


2️⃣ Most job seekers hide their weird mix of skills. They sand down the edges to fit some imagined "ideal candidate" template.

But after sitting across from 500+ candidates as a hiring manager, I can tell you what actually stands out.

It's not the perfect resume. It's the person who built something nobody else thought to build.

The one who combined psychology with coding. Who mixed finance with design. Who took their oddball interests and made something real.

✅ 𝗡𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗳𝗶𝗰 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝘂𝗳𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻'𝘁 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲. 𝗢𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗼𝗯𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻.



3️⃣ The fastest hires aren't the most qualified. They're the ones who built relationships before they needed a job. 

Who showed up and contributed when there was nothing to gain. 

✅ 𝗥𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱. 𝗔𝗽𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗻'𝘁.


I've owned my domain for 8 years. Built in public. 
Showed up consistently even when nobody was watching.

That history matters more than any bullet point on a resume.

Your resume won't make you unforgettable. 
Building something only you could build will.
