I hate that I even have to write this. But fake recruiters and fake job postings are everywhere right now. And job seekers are being targeted hard. That's not because you're careless. It's because scammers go after people who are motivated, hopeful, and actively searching. That's you. What makes this worse is how convincing these scams have become. In fact, a couple months ago, one of my clients showed me a recruiter message that fooled me! The company looked real. The LinkedIn profile looked legit. The email sounded professional. It wasn't. That's why this week's lesson is about how to protect yourself. Not with fear. With awareness. In today's video, I walk you through 10 clear warning signs that help you quickly answer one critical question: Is this real…or is it just a scam? You'll learn: What to check first when a recruiter emails or messages you. How fake job postings give themselves away. Why Gmail addresses, rushed language, and vague roles should always make you pause. What legitimate recruiters never ask you for. How to verify a job or recruiter in minutes, not hours. This isn't about becoming paranoid. It's about becoming informed. If you're job searching right now, please don't skip this one. Even smart, experienced professionals are getting caught off guard. And if this helps you, pass it along to someone else who's searching. A simple heads up can save them a lot of stress. Listen to STOP Falling for Fake Jobs and Recruiter Scams now!

On this week's The Whitfield Report Wednesday, Sam, Max Sand, and Mortheous are joined by guest panelists Craig (@craigbob99) and Phil (@pluffyphil) for a deep dive into the chaotic and rapidly escalating situation unfolding in Minnesota — where protests, counterprotests, and federal enforcement actions have gripped the Twin Cities.The conversation centers on the explosive controversy surrounding federal immigration enforcement, particularly the ongoing presence of ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) agents and the public response. Recent events have sparked widespread outrage, protests, and clashes between demonstrators and federal officers after multiple shootings involving federal agents in Minneapolis — including a fatal encounter that left a local resident dead and further inflamed tensions across the community. (Sahan Journal)Panelists break down:The background of the federal surge in immigration enforcement — part of a broader initiative dubbed “Operation Metro Surge,” which has seen thousands of ICE and related federal agents deployed across the Twin Cities. (Wikipedia)The community response, from mass demonstrations in subzero temperatures to a statewide economic blackout and general strike aimed at denouncing ICE tactics and demanding accountability. (Wikipedia)Local government reactions, including statements from Minnesota officials and growing tensions with federal leadership as investigations and political fallout continue. (CBS News)The human element and controversies, including the killing of a 37-year-old nurse in Minneapolis, the subsequent protests, and conflicting narratives between federal agencies and community accounts. (Le Monde.fr)Throughout the episode, your hosts and guests offer thoughtful — and at times heated — perspectives on how these events fit into broader national debates over federal enforcement powers, civil liberties, and the role of protest in American political life.Whether you're following the headlines or looking for context you won't hear elsewhere, this episode provides on-the-ground insights, sharp analysis, and honest debate about one of the most volatile developments in the 2026 political landscape.Please Support The Show:Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X and Instagram @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreportAffiliate links:Sign up for Rumble: https://rumble.com/register/TheWhitfieldReport/

Few interview questions create more damage with fewer words. Not because it's hard. But because people answer it at the worst possible time, with the least possible leverage. Most candidates think this question is about money. It isn't. It's about timing, power, and whether you understand how hiring decisions actually get made. Say a number too early and you either leave money on the table you'll never get back or price yourself out before anyone truly understands your value. And here's the part nobody teaches. There isn't one "right" answer to this question. There's a sequence.  A progression of responses that protects your leverage, keeps the process moving, and positions you to negotiate when your stock is highest, not lowest. In this week's lesson, I break down: Why giving a number early almost always works against you. What recruiters are really trying to confirm when they ask. And the exact recruiter-proof responses I use to control this conversation without sounding evasive or combative. If you've ever felt pressure to answer this question quickly, or worried that one wrong sentence could cost you thousands, this lesson will change how you approach salary conversations forever.

Does it feel like you're not growing in your career? Perhaps not learning much? Or building new skills? Or not sure which skills to even build? Maybe you're noticing other people passing you by.

TWR Wednesday | The 2026 Timmy Awards!The Timmy Awards return for 2026—and as always, chaos, hot takes, and cultural heresy come with the trophies.Sam Whitfield and company kick things off by laying out a core Whitfield Report principle: the right to offend isn't a bug of free speech, it's the feature. From there, the conversation veers wildly—from a brutal (and hilarious) takedown of Shaquille O'Neal's oversized gummies, to a heartfelt and complicated tribute to Scott Adams, reflecting on his cultural impact, controversies, cancellation, and willingness to engage honestly—even when it cost him.The episode also dives headfirst into modern debate culture, calling out “tactical stupidity” and “tactical nihilism” as bad-faith tools used to dodge real discussion. Sam and the crew take aim at online punditry, YouTube debate celebrities, and the broader incentives that reward outrage over clarity.From there, nothing is off-limits: the Iranian regime and the Ayatollah are dragged without apology, Tucker Carlson (and his family) are put under the microscope, and Mort teases upcoming Bits and Bones topics—including gaming industry rumors and next-gen console speculation.Finally, the night culminates in the 2026 Timmy Awards, with the first honor—Best TV Show of 2025—going to The Will Stansel Show.Sharp, irreverent, and unapologetically unfiltered, this episode is peak Whitfield Report energy.⚠️ Listener discretion advised.

If you're rehearsing your stories five minutes before an interview, you're cooked. I'm not saying that to be dramatic. I'm saying it because it's true.

January is one of the busiest and most misunderstood periods of the hiring year.

TWR Wednesday | What Are You Listening To On NYE?Ring in the New Year with a no-holds-barred TWR Wednesday as Sam Whitfield, Max Sand, and Mortheous bounce from holiday banter to cultural hot takes—equal parts absurd, provocative, and brutally honest.The episode opens with a spirited defense of the “right to offend,” arguing that discomfort has always been central to free speech, progress, and genuine understanding. From there, the crew swaps Christmas war stories (including comic-book debates and gift highlights) before unveiling a hilariously unhinged new concept: “White Trash Court,” a rotating, satirical court show where ridiculous cases are argued for fun—and the winner sets the rules for the next round.Things escalate with a deliberately over-the-top reading of a fictional “Bill of Rights” for the court, leaning hard into dark, satirical humor to lampoon modern grievance culture, accessibility absurdities, and rule-making run amok. The back half pivots to a sharp critique of internet brain rot and the rise of “looks-maxing,” calling out the obsession with superficial optimization over discipline, virtue, and real-world competence—and skewering the idea of treating life like a video game skill tree.Crude, clever, and unapologetically irreverent, this NYE episode is classic Whitfield Report: laughs, culture wars, and a reminder that satire still has teeth.

In this episode of the UpliftHER Leadership Series on the Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I had the pleasure of speaking with Mary Brodie , digital experience strategist, founder of Gearmark, two-time author, and a thoughtful voice at the intersection of technology, human experience, and conscious leadership.Our conversation was a beautiful, expansive exploration of what it truly means to navigate change with grace. Mary shared her nonlinear career journey from aspiring English professor to digital strategist, from corporate roles shaped by layoffs and pivots to founding her own consultancy — and the deep self-awareness, curiosity, and compassion that carried her through each chapter.This episode weaves together career evolution, leadership, spirituality, and resilience, offering gentle yet powerful insights for anyone navigating uncertainty or redefining success on their own terms.✨ Here's what we explored in this rich and reflective conversation:✅ Embracing nonlinear career paths and releasing the pressure to “have it all figured out” ✅ Why knowing what you don't want can be just as powerful as knowing what you do ✅ Navigating layoffs, job loss, and career transitions without internalizing shame ✅ Reframing rejection and understanding that most setbacks are not personal ✅ The role of curiosity, experimentation, and flexibility in conscious leadership ✅ How meditation, Buddhism, and self-compassion reshaped Mary's inner world ✅ The difference between empathy and compassion — and why compassion creates healthier boundaries ✅ Letting go of codependency and learning not to take things personally ✅ Acceptance as a leadership skill, not a form of resignation ✅ Insights from Mary's upcoming book: Acceptance: The Key to Being a Good ListenerMary reminds us that most paths are reversible, few decisions are permanent, and growth often comes from allowing ourselves to pause, reflect, and evolve. Through her wisdom and lived experience, she invites us to lead with presence, listen more deeply, and meet life's transitions with compassion rather than fear.Leadership isn't about certainty; it's about awareness. When we stop taking life's twists personally and start meeting them with acceptance and curiosity, we open the door to more aligned, human-centered leadership.✨ Take a deep breath.

Most retirement conversations obsess over account balances - how much you've saved, how your portfolio performed, whether you've hit a "number." But retirement doesn't work like a scorecard. It works like a paycheck. In this episode, we reframe retirement planning around the question that actually matters: How much reliable monthly income can your investments generate, and can you use it confidently? Take too much, and you risk running out of money. Take too little, and you risk living smaller than you need to, postponing joy, and merely enduring retirement instead of enjoying it. We'll break down why retirement success is driven by income, not assets; how to think about sustainable withdrawal without fear or guesswork; and how strategic spending allows you to experience life now while still protecting the future.  Most importantly, we'll explain why replacing your paycheck with a thoughtful, durable income plan is the foundation of real retirement planning, and the difference between hoping your money lasts and knowing your lifestyle will. If you want a retirement built around confidence, clarity, and lived experiences  (not just preservation) this episode will help you rethink everything you've been told about "how much is enough."

Most retirement conversations revolve around numbers - account balances, returns, tax brackets, required minimum distributions. But after working with retirees for more than a quarter of a century, one truth has become clear: emotional wealth matters more than financial wealth.  In this episode, we explore why peace of mind, confidence, and income stability ultimately define a successful retirement far more than hitting a specific number on a statement. We'll talk about how reducing uncertainty, building dependable income, and planning intentionally can give you the same sense of security and dignity in retirement that you enjoyed during your working years.

On this episode of The Whitfield Report, Sam Whitfield and his co-host take on the strange tension of living in an era defined by nonstop bad news—while still insisting that optimism, humor, and free speech matter more than ever.The conversation opens with a defense of the right to offend, arguing that truly free speech must include uncomfortable, unpopular, and even offensive ideas if society is going to keep moving forward. From there, the hosts acknowledge the bleak headlines dominating the news cycle, but ground the discussion in a simple philosophy: any day above ground is a good day.Things take a sharp (and darkly comic) turn with a tongue-in-cheek attempt to “re-litigate” the legacy of Charles Manson, poking holes in the popular narrative around mind control and media mythology. That humor quickly gives way to a broader discussion about the rising anger and frustration across the political spectrum—and why so many people feel perpetually on edge.Pop culture also gets its moment, as the hosts laugh at the online outrage over John Cena losing his final wrestling match, reminding viewers that wrestling is scripted… and always has been.A major portion of the episode focuses on a troubling shooting incident at Brown University, with pointed criticism aimed at law enforcement's lack of clarity, questionable surveillance footage, and reports that the victim was a college Republican and podcaster. This leads into a broader critique of Rhode Island's political leadership and institutional incompetence, both past and present.The latter half of the episode dives headfirst into cultural censorship, cancel culture, and the growing insistence that certain opinions simply cannot be spoken aloud. Sam and his co-host push back hard, arguing that people should be allowed to express even “bad” or “dumb” ideas without fear of professional or social annihilation. That frustration spills over into a heated rant targeting Rob Reiner, blending personal commentary with broader cultural critique.The episode closes on a deliberately provocative note with a rapid-fire list of “too edgy” jokes and opinions that wouldn't fly on a live broadcast—touching on gender politics, Garth Brooks, the CIA, Joe Biden, Antifa, and more—serving as both satire and a final statement on the state of modern discourse.Dark topics, sharp humor, and an unfiltered defense of free expression—this is The Whitfield Report exactly as intended.Please Support The Show:Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X and Instagram @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreportAffiliate links:Sign up for Rumble: https://rumble.com/register/TheWhitfieldReport/

Let me ask you something honest. Have you ever looked at your effort and thought, "There's no way I should still be here?" You show up. You work hard. You try to do the right things. Yet your career, your goals, or whatever you want still feel out of reach. I've coached thousands of people through this exact frustration. The problem is almost never effort. Most people work plenty hard. That isn't what keeps them stuck. It's something else. In this lesson, I'm sharing a personal story from 2019.

In this powerful and emotionally charged episode, Sam Whitfield, Max Sand, and Mortheous dive into Erika Kirk's recent Fox News interview — her first major public appearance since the tragic assassination of her husband, Charlie Kirk.For months, speculation, conspiracy theories, and political opportunists have swirled around Charlie's death. But now, Erika is speaking for herself. Sam, Max, and Mortheous break down her statements, her tone, and the cultural and political firestorm that led to this moment.The crew examines:

Everything might look perfectly fine on the surface, but retirement is full of threats that can grow quietly in the background until they're suddenly too big to ignore. In this week's episode, we dive into the hidden pitfalls that can disrupt even the strongest retirement plans: relying too heavily on the stock market, rising living or health care costs, Required Minimum Distributions pushing you into a higher tax bracket, and more. We'll explore why your retirement plan can't be something you "set and forget." It needs to evolve with you. You'll learn how to stay proactive, build an income plan that isn't dependent on market swings, manage taxes strategically, and identify potential problems *before* they become emergencies. Retirement security isn't just about what you earn - it's about what you protect. Let's make sure your plan is built to last.

Everyone is trying to predict the job market right now. Most of them are staring at headlines and waiting for someone to tell them what's going to happen in 2026. That's the slowest way to build your career. There's a much better approach, and that's what I'm teaching in this off-schedule Sunday lesson. You'll learn why I never chase trends and how I make decisions that stand the test of time. Then, you'll understand how to think the right way and why that beats any tactic or tool you use in your search. If you feel stuck or confused by mixed job market messages, this lesson will give you a better direction. I'll show you: ✅ The two timeless forces that always tell you where opportunity is hiding. ✅ How to spot industries that will stay strong in 2026 and beyond. ✅ Why your thinking matters more than any job search strategy. ✅ How to realign your search when you feel like nothing is hitting. ✅ How to read connections between industries so you can see around corners. This approach changed the way I make decisions in my own career and financial investments. It'll change how you navigate yours too. Once you understand this way of thinking, everything in your career gets easier. You'll stop reacting and start directing. You'll stop guessing and start choosing. Enjoy the lesson!

Job searching can be brutal. It tests your patience, your confidence, and your resolve. But if you shift your focus from results to wisdom, everything changes. That's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson, how to use your job search to make you a better professional. In the podcast, I share a personal story about recently finishing my new book. It's now off and running with the publisher, moving through the production process. The moment I hit send, I sat in my favorite Pottery Barn Wells swivel chair and thought for 20 minutes about nothing but the "agony" I'm going to endure over the next 12 months. Kidding aside, I genuinely did this. I didn't think about how many copies I might sell or what it'd take to make a bestseller list. I focused on something more important, the skills I need to strengthen over the next year as I market and launch this new book. You might think that because this is my fifth time around, I'd have mastered it by now. But if you assumed that, you'd be completely wrong. Yes, I've done a lot right and built some great skills when it comes to marketing a book. But many efforts have fallen short of my hopes. Some were dead ends. Others just confused the heck out of me. Which means only one thing, I need to try new things, keep learning, and keep building. Does this sound like your job search? The things you think will work don't. The things you don't expect to work do. It's effort, surprises, ups, and downs. That's just life in a nutshell. And what I'm about to say might sound like common sense. But I'm guessing it'll only sound like common sense after I actually say it. If you're going to go through a job search, why not gain the benefits of the experience? If we agree those benefits come in the form of new experiences and better skills, then it's time to ask yourself...

“I feel that it hates me sometimes. It can move objects. I heard it speak once, or try to speak. It sounded like somebody underneath the water. It's never really touched me and I don't want to see what it actually looks like. I was afraid it was going to look like a corpse.”  -- Tom Ross, poltergeist experiencer.  Have you ever heard someone describe what it's really like to live with a poltergeist?  Today you will.  When Tom Ross was thirteen, he spent four terrifying days in what seemed to be a haunted condo in the Mammoth Ski Valley.  Years later, he and author Jenny Ashford met, fell in love – and ended up writing about his experiences in a book I covered in Season 2 of RHPB – The Mammoth Mountain Poltergeist.   In this fascinating interview, Tom Ross and Jenny Ashford share stories from the front lines of the boundary between this world and the next.  We talk about everything from how Tom and Jenny met, to The Shining, to Tom's poltergeist theory, to Ed & Lorraine Warren, to The Enfield Poltergeist, to flying remote controls, to Mad Max: Fury Road, to “Case Managers from the Afterlife” and finally: what do you do with a poltergeist with unlimited strength -- that wants to kill you?

In this unapologetic mid-week episode, Sam and the crew dive into why free speech still matters — especially the right to offend. They break down the newly released Epstein files, discuss why some politicians fought to keep them hidden, and question whether the documents will actually reveal anything meaningful.The conversation then shifts to International Men's Day, mixing humor with real talk about men's mental health, resilience, and what the day should stand for. The hosts also address accusations of being “shills,” reaffirming their long-standing transparency and independence.The episode wraps with a look at the declining state of public discourse and a breakdown of Candace Owens's recent comments about Charlie Kirk's wife — yet another example of online drama overshadowing the real issues.Direct, honest, and authentically TWR — this is one you don't want to miss.Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page:https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X and Instagram: @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X: @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreportSign up for Rumble: https://rumble.com/register/TheWhitfieldReport/

Most job seekers prepare for interviews the wrong way. They start by memorizing answers to questions like "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your boss" or "Describe a challenge you overcame." But that's backwards. Those questions aren't about your disagreement skills or your ability to solve one random problem. They're about whether you can transform the company—their team, their performance, their results. The secret to winning behavioral interviews isn't about rehearsing lines. It's about building stories that sell what they actually buy: your ability to help them achieve their goals. That's what this week's lesson is all about. We're crushing how to prepare for and answer behavioral questions using the most powerful approach I've ever taught!

G'day Mates! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!Michael Bull is an Australian author, theologian, and graphic designer based in the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. He is the creator and editor of The Bible Matrix, a project exploring the literary and structural “DNA” of Scripture through chiastic and typological patterns that he believes reveal the unified design of God's Word. Bull's work blends biblical theology with symbolic interpretation, emphasizing covenantal structure and temple imagery across both Testaments. He has written several books, including Bible Matrix: An Introduction to the DNA of the Scriptures, and operates Bull's Bible School, which supports biblical education for pastors and leaders, particularly in Kenya. His writings reflect a postmillennial and covenantal hermeneutic rooted in a high view of biblical typology and fulfillment.Visit his website at: www.biblematrix.com.auMichael's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Michael-Bull/author/B003QMK8Z6?ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=11c458ad-602a-4685-84f4-c0fa19b70e0dIf you'd like to see this video please visit our Patreon page at: www.patreon.com/theburrosofbereaCheck out our sponsors!Halfback Mountain Soap- www.halfbackmountainsoap.comMy Secret Ingredient- www.mysecretblends.comThanks for listening!

In this explosive TWR Wednesday, Sam, Max Sand, and Mortheous examine two political figures who—despite living on opposite ends of the ideological spectrum—share a common, dangerous thread.On the far-right: Nick Fuentes, a neo-Nazi sympathizer whose toxic influence continues radicalizing disaffected young men online.On the far-left: Zoran Mamdani, New York City's new radical-left mayor whose open communist sympathies threaten to accelerate the city's political and economic decline.Both men preach extremism.Both reject nuance.And both ultimately seek to undermine America from within by replacing democratic norms with their own authoritarian visions.The crew breaks down:How both Fuentes and Mamdani weaponize grievance politicsWhy extremes from either side destabilize the countryThe role of media ecosystems in amplifying fringe ideologuesHow cultural decay creates fertile ground for radicalsWhy America desperately needs nuance, balance, and actual debate—not ideological cult leadersNo tribalism. No sugarcoating. Just straight talk.Welcome to TWR Wednesday—where nuance still matters.Sam's Substack: https://samwhitfield.substack.com/Rumble: https://rumble.com/user/TheWhitfieldReport2nd YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@WhitfieldReportReloadedKick Channel: https://kick.com/whitfieldreportSam's Amazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Sam-Whitfield/author/B00M1DNU88?ref=ap_rdr&store_ref=ap_rdr&isDramIntegrated=true&shoppingPortalEnabled=trueSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4DIcoDO0BIDyuH7SWIsAB8?si=8c06106f817d4eebAmerican Instinct Pulp Adventures: https://americaninstinct.substack.comFollow Sam on X & Instagram: @SamW_NGCFollow Right To Offend Media on X: @RTOMediaBuy Me A Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/whitfieldreport

Most candidates talk about what they can do. The best ones show it. When an employer asks for a presentation, it's not a test of PowerPoint skills. It's a test of whether you understand what they actually buy: transformation, not tasks. Your goal isn't to list skills or repeat your resume. It's to prove you can help them hit their goals and do it through a well-structured story. This week's lesson shows you how to prepare a presentation that persuades and sells your value. You'll learn how to: Identify what the employer truly wants to achieve. Uncover the real problems standing in their way. Choose powerful examples that prove you can solve those problems. Structure your presentation so it flows naturally and ends with impact. Highlight your skills as evidence, not filler. Inside, I'll even show you how to use a single summary slide that ties everything together and seals the deal. Listen to How to Give a Job Interview Presentation (That Gets You Hired) now!

On this week's episode of The Whitfield Report, Sam, Max, and Mortheous are joined by author and attorney Dennis Brennan for a fascinating deep dive into the intersection of history, politics, and media narratives.Brennan, whose new book D.C. Swamp Strikes Back: Aaron Burr, Donald Trump and Their Similar Battles has just been released, draws striking parallels between the power struggles of early America and the political storms of today. As Brennan himself writes:“I draw clear connections between the power struggles of America's past and the ongoing narratives surrounding figures like Trump, challenging listeners to question what they're told and to see our current climate through a wider historical lens.”Together, the crew explores how lessons from the founding era illuminate today's cultural and political divide — from the ambitions of Aaron Burr to the media's modern echo chamber — and how understanding history can help bridge the gap between fact, fiction, and propaganda.

Interviewers don't wait until you finish your story to decide if they like you. They decide while you're still taking your first breath. In those first 15 seconds, they're asking, "Do I trust this person? Do they get what matters here?" Most candidates waste that window listing tasks or backstory. The best ones win it by showing they understand the real business problem and hinting at the result they delivered. That's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson. You'll learn how to open with context that earns respect, why the STAR method fails, and the exact 15-second framework that makes your answers sound confident, strategic, and memorable. Listen now!

Most people think success comes from constant hustle. It doesn't. It comes from patience mixed with smart action. Most people chase quick wins. I learned the real secret is patience mixed with purpose. When you think long-term, you make better short-term decisions. You stop chasing every shiny idea and start stacking small wins that lead to something big. Back in 2015, I made a decision that tested every ounce of my patience. Even though I was most qualified to teach leadership, I didn't start there. My long-term vision was to become a one-stop shop for your career. But to earn that, I needed to start by solving your most acute pain first…getting the job. That meant helping people fix their search, knowing they'd leave me once they succeeded. It was a sacrifice, but a necessary one if I wanted to serve for the long haul. This week's lesson shares (in under 4 minutes) how I created a long-term vision for my career success. And how you can build yours using the same approach. If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.

Perfectionism is the great career stall. Most people don't slow down because they're lazy. They slow down because they want everything just right before they move. Job seekers spend months polishing résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles before they ever start actually searching. Professionals over-edit reports and presentations until the opportunity passes. They all have the same problem…waiting until it's perfect before they ship. But progress doesn't come from polishing. It comes from acting. This week's lesson is all about breaking free from perfectionism so you can finally make real progress. I share how I overcame a decade of “consultant conditioning” that taught me perfection was everything and how learning to act fast and iterate changed my entire career. If you've ever felt stuck trying to make something flawless, this one's for you.

Most managers don't actually manage people. They manage tasks. They tell. They correct. They rarely coach. That's the difference between a boss people tolerate and a leader people trust. When you learn how to coach and mentor someone, everything changes. You build loyalty and develop people who think for themselves. This week's lesson shares a simple four-step framework to help you manage people more effectively through better communication and growth. If you lead a team, you'll recognize yourself in this one. If you've ever felt frustrated trying to motivate someone who just isn't getting it, this will show you why. It's not about pushing harder. It's about coaching smarter. At first, you'll wonder why you haven't been doing these steps all along. Then, you can take action, or even manage upward, to start maximizing your team's enjoyment and performance!

Last week, we spent five full days together building and fine-tuning your résumé. You now have a marketing document that's designed to get you noticed. But here's the #1 mistake most job seekers make right now… they slow down. They assume the holidays are dead time. They think no one's hiring until January. They coast into the new year. That couldn't be further from the truth. November through February is THE BEST time of year to land a new role. Companies evaluate their budgets. They make sure to spend the current year's budget so they don't lose it. They prepare next year's budgets and identify the resources. Then, they hurry to start recruiting because people aren't teleported on January 2. They panic because employees who didn't get the promotions or raises leave. And then they have more seats to fill. All these employee mobility spikes mean opportunities for you. But only if you're in the game!  If you step off the gas now, you're handing those jobs to someone else. That's what I cover in today's podcast… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.
