(and I was only working part-time while taking classes towards a PhD in Cognitive Science) So many morals here but mainly: You don’t get what you don’t ask for. Diagnosing problems is what gets you paid. And audacity wins.

I once interviewed for an EA role. After hearing the founder’s problems, I told him what he actually needed was an Operations Manager. He agreed, doubled the salary, and I helped him increase profits by 30% in 8 months

On the flip side, I’ve had people do this to me, I’m always happy to share advice and end up referring clients to them if I feel they’re a good fit.

you’ll hear from them in a few weeks or months when a role does open up. I’ve seen this work for a number of my mentees after they had applied on LinkedIn to 100s of positions.

My advice to anyone who has been laid off or pivoting careers is to find 3-5 people on LinkedIn that have your ideal job OR work at your ideal company (preferably smaller companies or startups). Ask to take them out for coffee or a quick zoom meeting 👇🏼

Are lots of people quitting corporate jobs without a plan or is it just my social media echo chamber? No judgement, I did that over a decade ago. Just curious on the cultural shift because it was reallllly rare when I did it at 25.

The gym is a temple where you can go and pray for one more day.

My top 3 science supported health practices. 1) Morning sunlight viewing. To set circadian rhythm, focus, mood etc. 2) 180-200min of Zone 2 (moderate) cardio per week. Cardiovascular health. 3) NSDR (Non-Sleep-Deep Rest; 10-30min, 3-7X per week). Stress mitigation, cognition.

There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re a sane person in an increasingly insane world.

I'm beginning to think that in parts of America bad manners are increasingly being viewed as a sign of authenticity

In science: Opposing data = “a field” Opposing opinions = “ongoing debate” Absence of an answer = “opportunity” Changing stance based on new information = “integrity”
