The No.1 challenge HR teams are dealing with right now? 

AI-generated resumes.

Anyone can sit in front of ChatGPT or Gemini and walk away with a perfectly polished resume.

Which means a “perfect resume” doesn’t make you stand out anymore. 

It just puts you in the pile with everyone else.

So how do you rise above a mountain of AI resumes? How do you become the one hiring managers chase?

You build what AI can’t fake.

Your voice.
Your proof of work.
Your real-world presence.
Your reputation in the spaces you show up in.

A strong resume gets you in the door, but it’s no longer the thing that gets you noticed.
People get hired because they’re visible, credible, and consistent.

Start sharing your work.
Start posting your ideas.
Start showing the world what you know.

When you do that, you stop chasing opportunities.
Opportunities start chasing you.

Use content to create opportunities.

It took me a while to understand this, but once I did, everything changed.

Most people are doing great work silently. 

They’re learning new skills, building cool projects, solving real problems at work… but no one knows. 

And in today’s world, if no one knows what you’re doing, the opportunities never show up.

Sharing your journey isn’t bragging. It’s strategy.

When you build in public, you:

✅ Attract the right people
✅ Create trust without asking for it
✅ Show your value in real time
✅ Open doors you didn’t even know existed
✅ Build a brand that works for you 24/7

Almost every opportunity I’ve gotten in the last few years came from content. Not cold messages. Not “please refer me.” 

Content!

The more you share what you’re learning, building, trying… the more the world starts paying attention.

You’re one post away from the right person discovering you.

Start sharing.
Start showing your work.
Start letting your story create opportunities.

Your future self will thank you.

The hardest working people are not the most successful.

I’ve met people who work incredibly hard but stay stagnant because they rely on effort alone.

Hard work is the entry ticket.

What takes you to the next level are the things people don’t talk about enough:

1️⃣Visibility – If no one knows you exist, your effort stays hidden.

2️⃣Strategy – You can grind in the wrong direction for years and still end up stuck.

3️⃣Relationships – The right people can open doors your effort alone never could.

4️⃣Timing – Sometimes success is about recognizing the moment and moving quickly.

5️⃣Execution – Ideas are cheap. Follow-through is priceless.

I’ve met people who combine hard work with intention, positioning, and smart decisions—and they move faster.

So yes, keep working hard. But don’t let it be the only tool in your toolbox.

Work hard but also work smart.

That’s the real formula.

Stop using AI bots to comment on LinkedIn.

I’m starting to see a trend that’s watering down real conversations. People are letting AI reply to comments for them.

I tried one 2 years ago. It was terrible. I sounded like a robot and nothing like myself.

And honestly, it comes off as lazy.

If you can’t take a few seconds to talk to real humans who are engaging with your content, you might as well not join the conversation at all. 

Comments are where relationships are built. They’re where people get to know your voice, your energy, your thinking.

Don’t hand that over to a bot. Show up as you.

It takes a little more effort, but the payoff is real.

I never get excited about normal.

Normal feels normal, but it rarely moves your life forward. 

Every big leap I’ve taken started with something small and definitely outside my usual path.

That’s the part people forget.

You don’t need to start big. You don’t need a perfect plan. 
You just need that tiny spark that doesn’t feel “normal” to you.

Start small but dream big. 
And let the world catch up later.

We wrapped up 2025 with an in-person gathering, and it couldn’t have been a better way to close things out.

Last weekend’s potluck was full of good food, games, laughter, and real camaraderie. 

The Bay area can be quiet lonely but seeing so many people show up, share meals, and genuinely connect was a reminder of what this community is all about.

This year has truly been a blast, and there’s so much to be thankful for. 

Huge thanks to everyone who came out, brought food, and helped make the day special. And a big shoutout to the organizing committee for pulling it all together. 

Cheers to an even memorable and bigger 2026 🥂
