In this episode, Ryan McCready, content leader turned Principal Content Engineer at Demostack, opens up about the moments that shaped his path: hacking distribution in the early “monoculture SEO” days, sharpening his voice through roles at Foundation, Reforge, and Whimsical, and facing his first layoff. He shares candid stories about creator burnout after viral teardowns, being the last marketer standing after cuts, and the gut punch of being told he hadn't delivered on a role that had completely changed. When the market went quiet, Ryan turned the setback into a story on LinkedIn, igniting a thousand DMs, weeks of interviews, and a fresh sense of momentum.Now, as a builder and editor who treats vulnerability like a career asset, Ryan talks about measuring success in relationships, not just metrics, documenting your receipts, keeping your voice, and sending that DM. He breaks down the unglamorous parts of leadership: giving and receiving hard feedback, guarding against plagiarism, and aligning work with products that actually have staying power, while showing how practical AI and automation can clear the busywork so you can create with intention.In this conversation, you'll learn:How vulnerability, done thoughtfully, can unlock opportunity, community, and your next rolePractical ways to productize your “receipts” with AI or automation so your wins market themselvesHow to deliver and absorb tough editorial feedback while protecting quality and your own voiceThings to listen for:(00:00) Intro(01:34) Ryan's early career and content creation journey(04:19) Navigating career challenges and feedback(09:37) Thank you to our sponsor, Navattic(11:04) Giving and receiving feedback(14:58) On being a team player(17:41) The importance of adaptability(31:18) The power of vulnerability in job hunting(35:39) Creating a strong online presence(41:57) Difficult conversations in leadership(51:16) Building professional relationshipsA huge thanks to this episode's sponsor:Navattic: Interactive Product Demo Software - https://navattic.com/value Resources:Connect with Ryan:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-mccready Demostack: https://www.demostack.com/ Connect with Andrew:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewcapland/ Substack: https://media.deliveringvalue.coHire Andrew as your coach: https://deliveringvalue.co/coachingJoin Growth OS: https://deliveringvalue.co/growth-operating-system

When host Jenny Dempsey got laid off back in 2022, she had no clue what I was doing. She was crying on her couch, trying to figure out who she even was without my job. No one hands you a guide for that kind of loss. It honestly felt like the ground fell out from under her.And then along comes Steve Jaffe. Turns out, he literally wrote the book I wish I had back then: The Layoff Journey: From Dismissal to Discovery.Steve's been through four layoffs (yes, four!) and instead of letting it crush him, he mapped out the stages of grief that come with job loss. Reading his book brought up so many of my own memories, everything from the shock and shame to that messy process of rebuilding your identity. It made me cry, it gave me hope, and it reminded me I'm not alone.In this conversation with Steve, we talk about:Why losing a job takes you through the grieving process.The awkward shame we carry after a layoff, and how to drop it.Why slowing down to process before jumping into the job hunt can change everythingThe “baggage” you might unknowingly carry into your next role.And what you need to hear if you just got laid off yesterday.This one hit so close to home for me, and if you've ever been laid off, or even just wondered who you are without your job, I think it'll resonate with you too.Connect with SteveGrab Steve's book The Layoff Journey on Amazon: The Layoff JourneyLearn more at: thestevejaffe.comFollow Steve on Instagram: @stevejaffethelayoffjourneyConnect with Steve on LinkedIn: Steve Jaffe on LinkedIn Thanks for tuning in to The Career Flipper!If this episode made you think, laugh, or feel a little braver about your own flip, do me a favor:

The Tuesday Group formed in Denver when the Trump Administration shut down USAID. Experts in international development are in need of aid themselves-- emotionally and in the job search. Colorado Matters visits this support group at the Posner Center for International Development, which is a nerve center for Coloradans in foreign aid. Then, a Buc-ee's-sized fight in Palmer Lake. And is the Colorado River a person? 

What's more offensive to Denverites: The fact that a new business opening in Cherry Creek North calls itself a “bodega” or the fact that it's owned by an apparent Trump supporter? When Town Pump Provisions opened on Third Avenue earlier this month, social media sleuths dug up some info that led to calls of a boycott. So producers Olivia Jewell Love and Paul Karolyi are talking about the politics of local boycotts. Plus, a Republican state representative resigned after he was outed for starting a cyberbullying campaign against a Democrat colleague. And finally, we hear from a city worker who was laid off and more comments from listeners.  Olivia mentioned this post on X about Rep. Katie Stewart. Paul mentioned the Monfort family's various political contributions over the years.  What do you think about boycotting a local Trump supporter-owned business? We want to hear from you!

DeWayne “Crews Control” went from stay-at-home dad to viral conservative voice almost overnight—thanks to an unexpected boost from Elon Musk. In this episode of the Chicks on the Right podcast, Daisy and Mock sit down with the man behind the camera to talk about his rise to online fame, his Gen X-meets-millennial worldview, and why common sense keeps getting him labeled a “conservative” (whether he claims the label or not). They cover everything from his Georgia roots and military brat upbringing to the day he decided to finally hit “record,” how he handles haters, and the formula he uses to make his videos hit so hard. Plus—why stereotypes about what a conservative “should” look like are completely wrong, and how creators like Crews Control are changing the conversation. Follow Cruise Control:

In today's Mailbag, Jean and Kathryn are diving into the issues that keep many of us up at night: how to plan for long-term care, whether it's actually possible to over-save for retirement, and how to know when it's okay to step off the corporate treadmill for good.

More than 200,000 federal workers have been fired, resigned, or taken early retirement since President Donald Trump's inauguration. Now, this week, the Supreme Court ruled that Trump can proceed with additional job cuts at federal agencies. We'll unpack the sort of labor market fired federal employees face and hear how some job hunters are faring. Also, this spring's power outage in the Iberian Peninsula highlighted the vulnerability of modern payment systems.

This week's Making a Millionaire features Chris & Heather - a couple in their early 50s who thought they had more time to plan for retirement until a sudden layoff changed everything. With a $2.5M net worth, they wrestle with real fears, financial questions, and the exciting possibility of building a purpose-driven next chapter. Can you retire early? What if you had to?
