In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss the invaluable skill of pitching yourself to create your own opportunities. If you've ever wondered how people suddenly have access to great opportunities, odds are they may be pitching themselves for that. Today you'll learn exactly how to pitch yourself and you'll discover different scenarios where you might want to pitch yourself, such as for internships, side hustles, bartering, and even working with people you admire. Tune in to learn how to market yourself and your skills effectively, form mutually beneficial relationships, and gain access to hidden opportunities. CORRECTION: On the episode I mention that over 90% of jobs aren't listed publicly and are part of the hidden job market. That number should have been 80%.

Da war zum Beispiel Hamilton: Der kam aus einem zerrütteten Elternhaus und hatte schon früh Erfahrungen mit Drogen gesammelt, sowohl in seiner Familie als auch außerhalb. Da war zum Beispiel Justin, der seinen Vater nie kennengelernt hatte und praktisch auf der Straße lebte. Da waren Ryan und Jamel, Atabey und Julia. Alle bereits in ihrem jungen Alter von kaputten Lebenswegen gezeichnet. Teilweise verwahrlost, teilweise hoffnungslos, und dennoch voller Energie, die Teenager nunmal haben. Der Kitt, der sie zusammenhielt, war das Skaten im Washington Square Park… und Harold. Harold war der, der jeden kannte und den jeder mochte. Harold war der charismatische Typ, der so eine lose Clique zusammenhalten kann, und der Typ, der dich reinbringt. Wenn Harold dich mochte, wurdest du auch von den anderen akzeptiert. So wie zum Beispiel Harmony, ein jüdischer High School Absolvent, der Filmemacher werden wollte und immer ein bisschen zu privilegiert und abgehoben für die Straßen New Yorks schien. Aber Harold mochte ihn. Und so war er Teil des Zirkels. Und dann war da plötzlich dieser alte Hippie, Larry, der anfing Fotos von den Kids zu schießen. Vietnamveteran wie man hörte, von der Kleidung und vom Auftreten wie die Teenager, aber halt 30 Jahre älter, ein Fotograf und irgendwie auch ein schräger Typ. Jemand der über 40 ist, Skateboard fährt, kifft und Teens zu sich nach Hause einlädt… irgendwie fishy. Aber Harold mochte ihn. Und als es hieß, Larry und Harmony wollen zusammen einen Film machen, waren alle dabei. Vor allem auch, weil Harold sagte: “Larry ist cool. Der macht uns alle berühmt!”. Und so entstand im Sommer 1994 der Film Kids. Und darum geht es: Der jugendliche Telly hat nur eine Sache im Kopf: Sex. Am besten mit Jungfrauen, und so jung wie möglich. Wenn er nicht gerade dabei ist, seine neueste Eroberung ins Bett zu kriegen, hängt er mit seinem Kumpel Casper und diversen anderen Leuten in maroden Wohnungen oder im Washington Square Park rum. Das Leben der Teenager ist geprägt von Drogen, Gewalt und Perspektivlosigkeit. Jeder findet seinen Weg mit der rauen Wirklichkeit im New York klarzukommen. Und bei Telly ist es vor allem der Sex. Dieser kann aber unliebsame Folgen haben. Jenny, eine frühere Eroberung Tellys, macht einen Test auf Geschlechtskrankheiten und erfährt, dass sie mit HIV infiziert ist. Da sie bisher nur mit Telly Sex hatte, ist auch sofort klar, woher die Infektion bekommt. Und so macht sie sich auf den Weg, diesen zu finden, während er wiederum - nichts von seiner Krankheit ahnend - versucht, die 13jährige Darcy ins Bett zu kriegen. Kids, 1995, 24 Stunden in New York, gedreht teilweise mit Laien, direkt aus der Skaterszene des Washington Square Parks, teilweise mit hoffnungsvollen Nachwuchsdarstellern. Ein riesiger Indie-Hit und vielleicht der kontroverseste Film des Jahrzehnts: Ihm wurde alles vorgeworfen: Von konservativen Moralismus über Exploitation bis hin zu Kinderpornographie, ein Publikumshit, aber nie ein Kritikerdarling. Und ich habe jetzt die schwere Aufgabe, euch - und vor allem dich Johannes - davon zu überzeugen, warum sich dahinter dennoch ein wichtiger, wertvoller und auch sehenswerter Film verbirgt (vielleicht auch neben einem Film, der nicht so gelungen ist). Das wird ganz schön schwierig, oder?

In this episode of the Grad School Femtoring Podcast, I discuss action-oriented executive functioning skills to help you move from thinking to doing. This is part two of a special mini-series where I share practical strategies for task execution. I cover three key skill areas: task initiation and planning (your ability to begin tasks and map out necessary steps), organization and time management (creating systems for materials/information and allocating time effectively), and inhibitory control and emotional regulation (resisting impulses and managing emotions). For each skill area, I provide concrete strategies including the five-minute rule, backwards planning, digital organizing systems, and distraction-blocking tools, among others. I emphasize that strengthening these executive functioning skills benefits everyone—whether you're a student, professional, or anywhere in between—as they help you effectively plan, focus, remember, and manage your actions across all areas of life.
