Here’s a corporate truth nobody wants to admit: job interviews don’t actually predict job performance. They’re theater. You spin a rehearsed story, they pretend it’s data—and careers get decided on little more than gut feeling. #corporatetruths #eliterecruiter #jobinterview

Job interviews: two liars in a room. Everyone’s selling, no one’s telling the truth. 🚨 Hiring managers paint the job on its best day. 🚨 Candidates pitch themselves on their best day. And then reality hits. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it’s chaos. #jobinterview #eliterecruiter

@businessbarista And I know exactly who you spoke to! :) Great summary.

Spoke to a major consultancy's former head of GenAI last week. What I learned from them about the state of AI transformation: 1) Most AI maturity assessments are a total waste of money. PE firms already know where the biggest opportunities are—don’t pay $10M for a ‘diagnostic’ that tells you what you already know. 2) The real value of AI isn’t in shiny use cases—it’s buried in unsexy, overlooked process bottlenecks. We saved a Fortune 500 client 6+ months by fixing a compliance process no one had flagged. 3) If you’re not reorganizing people and process, you’re not getting real AI value. Tech alone won’t move the needle. 4) Private equity is uniquely positioned: you have the capital, the portfolio, and the incentive to drive change. But you need surgical, immediate impact—no room for disruption theater. 5) Consultancies and PE are converging. The best consultancies are becoming capital allocators, and PE firms are building in-house AI teams. The lines are blurring fast. 6) Don’t try to build your own foundational models unless you’re at OpenAI scale. Focus on business value, not vanity projects. 7) Ethnography is my secret weapon. Deep process mapping and stakeholder interviews always surface the real gold—AI can’t do this for you. 8) Most companies are like a kitchen with a garlic chef and a vegetable chef—no accountability, no end-to-end ownership. Michelin-star kitchens win because one chef owns the dish, start to finish.

@tyler Please run for Mayor!!!

A lot of people have asked me if I will get involved in the NYC mayor race by supporting a candidate that can defeat Zohran Mamdani. TBH, I’m torn and undecided. Like every other city run by democrats, NYC is a broken kleptocracy. Taxes are astronomical and services are pathetic to nonexistent. Anarchy and socialism are the next logical steps in this story arc. It's what the people of NYC have been asking for for years and it looks like it's what they are about to get. Trying to fight against this tide seems like throwing good money after bad. It appears things will have to get worse in NYC before they get better. The Zoomers and Millennials need a refresher on the outcome of Marxism and socialism. They are too young to remember the crack and crime epidemic and murder sprees of the late 80's and early 90's. The squeegee men, graffiti, mugging, lawlessness, chaos, and pandemonium. Streets that were too unsafe to walk alone at night or even during the day. Getting mugged on the way to and from school was not just a rite of passage, it was an inevitability. The Wall Streeters, financiers, and hedge funders have been too busy working on their fishponds and climbing the rungs of polite society to remember to protect the system that allowed them to achieve their success in the first place and allowed New York City to once become the greatest city in the world. Not ruffling feathers was more important than questioning the ideological insanity being taught in the private schools and universities that they sent their kids to. All that mattered was fitting in and getting invited to the right dinner parties. Now their kids are indoctrinated NPCs, always protesting and supporting the current thing. Like their parents, they too want to fit in. To do so, they unironically exchange bromides and platitudes on the benefits of socialism over rosé brunches in the West Village. Because their friends hate America and capitalism, they do too. It never dawns on them that their lifestyle and studio apartment that their parents subsidize are all made possible because of capitalism. This delusional thinking was ingrained in them at an early age by institutions that were captured by insane ideology and left unchecked by their grossly negligent parents. Instead of providing their children with immunity from stupid and provably bad ideas that have only led to misery and death throughout history, these parents shrugged it off as kids will be kids. Now these kids are adults who can vote, but are totally unequipped to do so. In many ways it’s not their fault. From their parents, they learned some combination of magical thinking, preference falsification, and an inability to stand up for anything greater than themselves. As a result, they never learned how to think critically or independently. They never learned the value of Western civilization so they don't understand why, or know how, to fight for it. Sometimes the only way to learn something is to learn it the hard way. Sometimes the only way to learn the value of what you have is to lose it. If that’s the case, Marxism and socialism might just be what the doctor ordered.

@Codie_Sanchez Absolutely no need. LinkedIn’s about section should be a personal branding moment for everyone and basically an open love letter to employers and recruiters (if you are on the market). Let’s normalize strong LinkedIn profiles to substitute resumes accompanied by an intro video!!

Why do we still need resumes when linkedin exists? Does anyone still want an indepth non-public resume?
