About Our Guests: DJ Jimmy from spooky Appalachia Jimmy grew up like many children, highly curious , only his inquisitiveness leaned towards the world of High Strangeness. He has fond memories of watching “ Unsolved Mysteries “ with his grandfather and recalls being VERY spooked by the UFO and Ghost Stories. In elementary school , he had an experience that would change his life. He, his classmates and teacher all had a UFO encounter and from that point onward, he became obsessed with reading books from the library about Encounters stories with UFOs, Cryptids and Ghosts! His curiosity never left him. He went on to start The Spooky Appalachia Blog where he collected paranormal stories from people. This evolved into a successful YouTube Channel which covers classic tales from Appalachia, as well as a Cryptid series and various stories from his followers . Every now and then you can expect to find him on location sharing historical and spooky stories! Jared: Jared grew up in a rustic log cabin deep in the Appalachian Mountains of East Tennessee. He always loved being around his elders and listening to their stories of History. His favourites were the tales of The SPOOKY Ghost (Haint) , The Witch, Cryptid (Wood Booger) and Feral People stories. He was once asked to share a story on a friend's YouTube channel, which was beyond well received. People wanted more and Jared delivered by starting up his own YouTube channel “Jared King TV” which took off like a bullet with continued success and a large follower base. He began sharing historical stories from his family as well as allowing others to submit their family stories and their own personal Spooky Encounters. With a unique voice and an old, authentic Appalachian Mountain accent he went on to host and do special guest appearances at events, festivals, and do voice work for "Sons Of Appalachia" what used to be "Mountain Monsters" on TV. He came across Spooky Appalachia, truly enjoyed it and contacted Jimmy.

The Outer Realm welcomes Author Tim Malone Date: February 4th, 2026 EP: 676 TOPIC: Tim Malone joins us this evening to talk about his incredible journey which he documented and wrote about in his new book " Behind the Veil: One Man's Journey from Opioid Addiction to Spirituality and Beyond‘“ - Tim Malone built a $400-million staffing empire, but behind the success, he was spiralling through a seven-year opioid addiction that nearly destroyed him. Healing came from an unexpected source: a dog named Boo Boo. When Boo Boo passed, Tim began experiencing—and documenting—encounters with orbs, spirit guides, angels, and other mystical entities. These experiences led him to a renewed sense of purpose and a profound connection to the universe… and to Boo Boo. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Tim Malone - Tim Malone is an accomplished entrepreneur with a passion for business innovation. Prior to joining the family business, Malone Workforce Solutions, in 1998, he successfully owned and operated a profitable flooring company. Tim started his spiritual journey nearly a decade ago, determined to understand the mysteries of the universe. This was an unexpected new chapter in his life, one he expects to keep evolving. Behind the Veil is the first of a series of books that Tim plans to write and publish. About The Book: Successful businessman Tim Malone found himself spiraling into the depths of an opioid addiction that lasted seven years. He had built a staffing empire valued at over $400 million, yet behind this facade of success, Tim's personal life was unraveling. Entwined in a failing marriage and burdened by the pressure of maintaining his business, Tim turned to opioids to numb his pain. His descent into addiction led to an unexpected romance with Denise, a relationship that ultimately provided him with a second chance at love and happiness. However, it was the unforeseen arrival of Boo Boo, a dog Tim never knew he wanted, that catalyzed his journey to redemption. Boo Boo's unconditional love helped Tim confront his demons and rebuild his life. The story reaches a poignant turning point with Boo Boo's death, an event that not only plunged Tim into profound grief but also opened doors to a new spiritual dimension. Through his experiences with orbs, spirit guides, angels, and so many other mystical entities, Tim found a renewed sense of purpose and a deeper connection to the universe, and to Boo Boo. Behind the Veil is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of love. It offers both hope and encouragement to those struggling with addiction, and Tim's story is a beacon of light for anyone who has faced rock bottom. This book also provides an inspirational and sweeping foundation of knowledge for those seeking a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm. Purchase on Amazon: https://a.co/d/0dsdjcox

Kom nou eens je bed uit. Werk nou eens aan dat ene project wat goed is voor je carrière. Doe dat ene klusje in huis nou een keer, waar je tegenaan zit te hikken. Of maak nou eens een keer schoon. Allemaal dingen die we liever niet willen, maar soms wel moeten. Hoe motiveer je je daarvoor? En is dat altijd nodig om uberhaubt iets voor elkaar te krijgen? In deze aflevering bespreken psychologen Lennard Toma en Thijs Launspach wat motivatie is, welke factoren eraan bijdragen, wat verschillende psychologische modellen en theorieën over motivatie zeggen. En welke motivatiemythes er zijn. Thijs is er gemotiveerd voor. Not!

Manchmal hat man dieses leise Gefühl, nicht so richtig dazuzugehören. Dass andere einen nur „okay“ finden – oder eigentlich lieber ohne einen wären. In der Psychologie nennt man das den „Liking Gap”: Wir glauben nämlich oft, schlechter anzukommen, als wir es tatsächlich tun. Dabei mögen uns die meisten Menschen viel mehr, als wir denken. Deswegen gibt's in dieser Folge mal wieder eine kleine Lektion in Sachen Selbstmitgefühl. Wir sprechen darüber, warum wir unser Verhalten anpassen, um dazuzugehören, wie aus dieser Unsicherheit schnell soziale Angst werden kann – und was das mit Dating, Freundschaften und Beziehungen macht. Und natürlich darüber, wie man aus dem eigenen Kopf rauskommt und aufhört, sich selbst kleiner zu machen, als man ist. Du möchtest mehr über unsere Werbepartner erfahren?

This episode with intuitive channel and energy translator Jessica Taylor is filled with synchronicity, remembrance, and multidimensional insight. From the moment we connected, Jessica was delivering synchronicity after synchronicity that spoke directly into my own experience. In this conversation, she shares how her connection with the Pleiadians and other higher consciousness beings opened through years of meditation, psychic development, and group intention work, and how that evolved into direct voice channeling. In this episode, we explore: How Jessica began channeling the Pleiadians in meditation Why more people are "coming online" as channelers at this turning point in human consciousness The karmic loop we are revisiting from Atlantis and Lemuria and how this timeline is different Nonlinear time, parallel timelines, and how all incarnations are happening simultaneously The soul, the egoic "ghost" layer, and what really happens after we die How past life memories and mythic stories are actually energetic connections and dimensional bleed throughs What the Pleiadians share about 3I Atlas, solar flares, and the waves of energy impacting collective awakening The coming split in realities between old Earth and New Earth and how our frequency determines what we experience Why meditation and intentional frequency work are some of the most powerful tools you have right now Jessica also shares deeply about: Growing up sensitive to spirits and phenomena and learning to navigate those experiences Her dark night of the soul and how it opened the door to psychic and mediumship training Living in Cornwall and the Avalon-Arthurian energies of that land Working as an energy translator and what that really means when it comes to translating transmissions from higher consciousness into human language Throughout this episode, we talk about starseeds, reincarnation, Atlantis and Lemuria, the map of consciousness, solar activity, and the New Earth frequency split. You will likely feel waves of resonance and activation as you listen. If this conversation lights you up, you are not alone!

The Outer Realm welcomes the return of Eira Wulfnothsson Date: January 29th, 2026 EP: 674 TOPIC: Eira will be sharing her knowledge about UFOs, The Fallen Angels and The Nephilim. Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting. Thank you all !!! About Eira: Bio 2025 September: Eira Wulfnothsson Eira was a practicing occultist for over four decades. Born into a Luciferian world, no one in her family was Christian for generations; she was taken to Bohemian Grove at age 3. Her education was just as unusual; she attended a traditional mystery school 30 years before the internet existed; she attended in person. There she learned of the laws and forces at work in the cosmos both Holy and Unholy. Five years ago, she had an extraordinary experience with Mary, Our Blessed Mother. She was called to become a traditional Roman Catholic and is now a consecrated Marian who has taken a life long vow of celibacy. She regularly prays “The Office of The Dead” for the Holy Souls in purgatory. Today Eira works on the team of a Mandated Roman Catholic Exorcist and consults on classical angelology/demonology based on her unique upbringing, studies and experiences. In service to Christ she currently hosts a youtube channel where she speaks of her unusual journey, spiritual warfare, and her understanding of God's cosmos. Eira's youtube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel. Eira is also the author of two books: “From Occultist to Christian; The Devil's Mistake” And, “Dominicanus; You, Your Dog and Heaven.” Eira's YouTube channel is: Pitbulls of The Lord Spiritual Warfare Channel. Eira is also the author of two books: “From Occultist to Christian; The Devil's Mistake” • The Devil's Mistake is a dissertation on Evil and Magicka; their ancient origins, how they are at work in the world and how to inoculate yourself against them. The work is written through the eyes of a life-long practicing occultist who became a devoted Roman Catholic after a mystical experience with Mary, Mother of God. Within the manuscript the author illuminates a vast array of metaphysical topics based on her classical occult education in order to assist Christians in identifying the many occult rituals worked against them via the media, political and public ceremonies, as well as staged catastrophic events. These “rituals,” or operations within a system of Magicka, are performed in order to blind, influence and control humanity; clarity is given to the elite Luciferian mind and agenda. Also, readers will learn the crucial reason their consent is always required when evil is worked against them, what that looks like, and the “who” that requires it and “why.” The author also addresses the ever-changing UFO/UAP narrative demonstrating that this phenomenon identifies more as classical fallen angel activity than advanced terrestrial or alleged extraterrestrial technology. Readers will also be given understanding regarding “places of power” used since the beginning of time by ancient magicians and sorcerers to bring “these gods” (fallen angels) into our world physically and why 100 percent of our world-wide sacred sites are built upon them based on both the physical and metaphysical sciences. Lastly, readers will come to understand how God is always at work to counter these evils, why He sometimes allows them, and how we've been called to assist Him within this great battle of good versus evil. A battle, in fact, that was already won over two thousand years ago. WEBSITE: www.eirawulfnothsson.com If you enjoy the content on the channel, please support us by subscribing: Thank you All

The Outer Realm Welcomes welcomes the return of Maxim Furek Date: January 22nd, 2026 Episode: 671 Discussion: Maxim returns to talk about his book " The Smurl Haunting" - When Ed and Lorraine Came to Town. The Book: AMAZON https://a.co/d/4hvlbrW - Called Pennsylvania's “Amityville Horror,” the Smurl family's nightmare of demonic possession is the subject of both the current motion picture, Conjuring: Last Rites, and this book. Venturing far beyond the West Pittston coal region, author Maxim W. Furek's narrative explores the dark crawlspaces of High Hopes, the Hindsdale House, the damned Welles House, and good and evil, as seen through the eyes of history's foremost exorcists and psychics, such as the mysterious Fr. Alphonsus Trabold O.F.M and Alexander Tanous. There was something of the supernatural channeling through Furek that inspired him to write this book. The 92-year-old West Pittston Smurl duplex was a half-hour drive from his home, and, during their 15-city book tour promoting The Haunted, the author befriended Ed and Lorraine Warren. And sadly, Furek met Annabelle handler Dan Rivera, the day before he died during the 2025 “Devils on the Run” Tour in Gettysburg. Furek: “It wasn't a coincidence. It was destiny. I believe that psychic energies were being channeled through me to allow this thing to take shape and manifest. I only know that it flowed and had energy and a life of its own and that I was placed at the right place at the right time.” Contact for the show - theouterrealmcontact@gmail.com Michelle Desrochers and The Outer Realm :https://linktr.ee/michelledesrochers_ Please support us by Liking, Subscribing, Sharing and Commenting.

How Near-Death Experiences, Frequency Architecture, and the XI Code Are Rewriting Human Potential Podcast Highlights:• What Masati learned across three near-death experiences—and why they rewired reality itself• Why most healing fails—and how frequency architecture changes everything• The XI Code & HyperMeditation: accessing power, flow, and sovereignty without struggle• How restoring Natural Intelligence transforms humans, leaders, and AI systems alikeWhat if your suffering isn't psychological, emotional, or even karmic… but structural? Today's guest didn't come back from three near-death experiences with a belief system. He came back with a blueprint. Masati, known as the Godfather of Frequencies, works at the level where reality is coded—where biology, leadership, consciousness, and even AI are recalibrated at the source. In this conversation, you'll discover how frequency creates self-sabotage or flow, why enlightenment was never meant to be passive, and how sovereignty is not claimed through effort—but alignment.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Mariah (Executive Director of Product at The Atlantic) discusses the often-vague transition from being a great Product Manager to becoming an effective manager of people. Drawing on her background as a journalist, Mariah explores how empathy and storytelling translate into product leadership. She deep-dives into using the Reforge PM Competency Model to remove subjectivity from performance reviews, fostering growth through "Development Conversations," and integrating AI into the PM workflow without losing the human touch.Chapters[0:00] The Pitfalls of People Management[1:15] Mariah's Origin Story: From Journalism to Product[3:24] Product Goals at The Atlantic[4:14] Transferable Skills from Journalism[6:08] The Evolution of the News Product Industry[8:40] Why Product Leaders Struggle with Management[13:12] The Reforge Competency Framework[15:13] Running 6-Week Development Conversations[21:20] Linking Development to Pay and Promotions[22:58] Managing the Human Element of Performance[26:12] Addressing Burnout and Imposter Syndrome[28:58] Upskilling Teams in the Era of AI[31:40] AI Disruption in the News Industry[33:01] Closing and ResourcesKey Takeaways— Journalism as a Product Foundation: Skills like active listening, asking the "question behind the question," and storytelling are directly transferable to discovery and stakeholder management.— The "Liking" Trap: Effective management isn't about being liked; it is about challenging your team. Radical transparency often leads to more long-term gratitude than avoiding uncomfortable conversations.— Structured Development: Using a competency framework turns vague performance evaluations into objective, actionable growth plans.— The 6-Week Pulse: Dedicated "Development Conversations" every six weeks help track progress and adjust goals in real-time, far beyond the utility of an annual review.— Protecting Focus: "Focus Fridays" (no-meeting days) are essential for PMs to escape the "weeds" and execute high-value work.Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

Thank you all !!! About Dr. Macklin -Christopher Macklin presents an eye opening interview and understanding on how common and prevalent entities are and how they are manipulating scenarios around the planet through influencing and impacting governments and individuals, ultimately resulting in the current state of affairs in the world we are witnessing today.... that is culminating in planetary destabilization as well as the destruction of individual's lives, their well being and their quality of life. Is anyone on the planet untouched by their destructive and manipulative reach? Christopher has had interactions with both positive and negative races. As a very young child, reptilians would appear in his room and he learned even at that very young age how to stop them from interfering in his life and leave. He's had interactions with other negative races such as the Archons, Annunaki, Draconians and Snake beings. Inversely, there are also positive races that have been present on the planet, races like the Pleidians, Arcturians, Sirians and Lumerians. Their presence here has been for the purpose of helping humanity transcend the current levels of manipulation and negativity. Christopher works very closely with some of these races as well.

Imagine your work day starting off like any other only to find you've been laid off. What would you do next? Dave Stevens lived this reality a couple of years ago and joins us this week in episode 354 to share the lessons from that experience. We'll take you through how Dave processed the news of being laid off, the warning signs he missed, when he knew it was time to begin searching for a new role, how he thought about what to do next, and the critical importance of his personal and professional network throughout this process. Regardless of your age or the size of your professional network, Dave shares actionable suggestions for building professional connections that we all may be overlooking. Original Recording Date: 10-28-2025 Topics – Background and the Impact of a Layoff Event, Initial Forward Progress and Reliance on a Professional Network, Skills Gaps and Unexpected Positives, Elements of the Personal and Professional Network, Reaching Closure and Reflecting Back on the Lessons 2:27 – Background and the Impact of a Layoff Event Dave Stevens is a Field Solutions Architect at Pure Storage. In this role, Dave is a technical overlay for pre-sales technical personnel at Pure across North America. This is the role Dave took after he was impacted by a layoff. What was Dave's role before he was impacted by a layoff event? For context, the layoff event we discuss in this episode took place around 2.5 years before this recording. Dave was classified as a systems engineer or pre-sales technical resource at his employer supporting multiple account reps. It was more of a solutions architect type of role, and Dave highlights his entry into this organization and role was via acquisition. Was there an element of technical marketing to the role? Nick mentions that Dave often had to attend trade shows in this role. Dave had a virtualization background and went to a lot of events to discuss how his company's products integrated with those different technology ecosystems. The day Dave was laid off started as a normal day at his home office. His boss was based in Europe, so most 1-1 calls were usually late in the day his boss's time (early afternoon for Dave). A meeting popped up that was earlier than usual, but Dave didn't think anything of it. Right after Dave joined the remote session for the meeting, someone from HR joined followed by Dave's boss. Dave wasn't quite sure what to expect and didn't know what was happening. He didn't know if it was a layoff coming or some other kind of situation happening at his company. When Dave was laid off, they told him it was not for performance reasons, but there weren't really any other details provided on why he was being laid off. “So, at that point it was just like, ‘what do I do?'” – Dave Stevens, on receiving layoff news After receiving the news, Dave's access to company systems like e-mail was quickly cut off. He went downstairs and spent the rest of his day relaxing. Dave did not want to talk about what happened any further that first day. Did Dave struggle with separating his identity from his employer or the job he held at all when this happened? Dave says he did, at least a little bit. Dave wanted to be successful in whatever role he found himself, and the reason he was in the systems engineering role at the time of the layoff event is a result of his drive to be successful in the years leading up to that role. “I also wanted to make sure that…the people that I worked with that I enjoyed working with. If I didn't enjoy working with them, then there was no reason to continue staying there. So that's part of my identity on how I interact with work.” – Dave Stevens In the early days of Twitter (now X), Dave defined an identity there. He also created a personal blog. Dave says his identity was often tied to where he worked. “Once this all happened, I just kind of cut that off. And I needed some time to really digest what I just went through that day.” – Dave Stevens Is there something Dave wishes people had done for him when this first happened? Dave says he wishes he would have listened to his wife. Before experiencing the layoff event, a number of colleagues who had entered the company through acquisition like Dave were either leaving or had been laid off (including his boss being laid off). At the time, Dave didn't think much about these events. Dave's wife had encouraged him to look for other jobs before the layoff happened, and he feels he should have listened. “It's much easier finding a job when you have a job. There's not as much pressure on you. You can take your time and really find the job that you want. That's the one thing that kind of took me by surprise….” – Dave Stevens Did Dave's wife also point him in a direction or provide feedback on the type of work he should pursue? We've spoken to previous guests who had spouses that provided insight into the type of work that made them happy. Dave feels like there has been an element of this in place since he and his wife got married. When Dave got a job opportunity to relocate to the New Hampshire area, his wife had some interesting feedback. “It's great that you're going to make more than you're making at the job you are currently, but I don't want you to take a job just because of money. I want you to take a job because it's something you're interested in doing and you're going to be happy at. So, I've always kept that in the back of my mind every time I go and look for a job….” – Dave Stevens, quoting his wife's advice Dave considered this same advice when pursuing his current role at Pure. Because he enjoyed meeting and speaking with people during the interview process, the decision to accept the role was easy. Liking the people he would be working with was more important than a pay increase. 10:53 – Initial Forward Progress and Reliance on a Professional Network How long did Dave need to process before taking the first actions toward a new role? For the first 3 weeks or so, Dave relaxed a little bit. There were a number of projects at home that he needed to do and some that he wanted to do. Working on the projects helped take his mind off what had happened. Dave mentions he was given a severance for about 3 months and wanted to find a new role within that time period if possible. But if he could not find something in that time period, it would not be the end of the world. Dave tells us it was easier to find work when he was laid off than it is currently. Close to the time of this recording, AWS announced job cuts for up to 30,000 people. He made the conscious decision after those first few weeks to spend the first part of the day searching for new jobs and then continued working on different projects in the afternoons. How did Dave know who to reach out to first? Nick argues that most of us likely don't have a list of who we would call if something like this happened. When Dave came to the New England area, he started working for Dell in tech marketing. Through his work, Dave built a tight bond with many of his co-workers. Dave remembers sending a text message to many of his former co-workers (none of which were still at Dell) asking if they knew of any open opportunities. Dave wanted to understand what former colleagues were working on now and what the culture of their company was like. He started by seeking out people he already enjoyed working with and analyzed whether it made sense to go and work with them again. Was Dave open to different types of roles in his job search, or did that not matter? It had to be interesting work and involve people he wanted to work with or enjoyed working with. Dave says as long as it was something in the tech field, it didn't matter too much. Dave began his career in systems administration and tech support and had experience in the storage industry, with backups, and with Active Directory to name a few areas. He had also done technical marketing and was open to returning to it. Dave also looked at pre-sales systems engineering or solution architect roles. What about taking roles that moved him deeper into a business unit like product management? Dave says product management is interesting work, but depending on the company, the work may not always have the technical aspects he likes. Many of the product managers at Pure are quite technical, but most of the product management roles he observed at other companies were not as technical as he would like. “It just didn't interest me. It wasn't technical enough in nature for me.” – Dave Stevens, on moving into product management It sounds like Dave had done a good job of keeping in touch with people in his professional network over time. “I have always made sure to have a small group of folks that I can just reach out to at any time and…chat about anything…. I've always made sure to have that…. I didn't talk to them all the time, but we all interacted in some way, shape, or form whether it was an e-mail or text messaging…even some stuff on LinkedIn. We all kind of kept in touch…. I had people that I could fall back on and reach out to and get advice from if I needed to. This is the time where I really needed some advice on where to go to next.” – Dave Stevens Dave says he was lucky enough to find a new job before the end of his 3 months of severance pay. Dave's wife commented that she wasn't too worried about him. She knew he had a strong professional network. Did anyone in Dave's professional network ask him what he wanted to do next, or did they just start making recommendations based on what they knew about him? Dave says it was a little bit of both. Some people pointed Dave to specific open roles in the same group where they worked (still in tech, of course), while others directed him to the company job site and offered to act as a referral for him. Dave tells us he's very willing to give others a referral. “I want to make sure that people that I know and I like to work with come to work with me.” – Dave Stevens Dave says he also turned on the Open to Work banner on LinkedIn. While this did result in many recruiters reaching out to Dave, many of the opportunities they contacted him about were not interesting. Dave is hearing from many in our industry that bots are reaching out to people and trying to take advantage of them. His advice is that we need to be guarded in our interactions on LinkedIn as a result to avoid scams. 19:10 – Skills Gaps and Unexpected Positives What kinds of skills gaps did Dave see when seeking new opportunities? For context, this was roughly 2.5 years ago. Dave says at that time, AI wasn't as helpful as it is today and was not something that was interesting to him. Dave tells us he uses AI heavily today compared to back then. Dave felt confident in the knowledge and skillset he had built through years of industry experience. Ideally, he would land a new role that overlapped those areas, but if a new role required coming up to speed quickly, he would do what was needed. Dave started looking at public cloud and certifications related to Azure and AWS. “Although it was interesting, it wasn't really what I wanted to do.” – Dave Stevens, on public cloud technologies compared to the technologies with which he was familiar What were some of the unexpected positive outcomes of getting laid off even though it was difficult in the beginning? One positive, according to Dave, is the amount of people in his network he was able to reach out to on LinkedIn. So many people were open to helping. The only negative Dave thinks is maybe not acting quickly enough in starting his job search. “It's really about building not only your personal network but your professional network. And my professional network really came to my rescue and helped me understand that…it's not the end of the world. You're going to make it. You're going to do fine. But let me know if there's any way that I can help you in that journey that you're on right now.” – Dave Stevens Were there any things Dave and his wife had done (conscious or unconscious) to prepare for the layoff event based on market trends? Dave says his wife is very good at managing their home budget, and since they got married, they intentionally build a financial nest egg they could lean on in the event Dave was out of a job. 22:27 – Elements of the Personal and Professional Network What are some of the things Dave is even more intentional about now with his professional network than he was in the past? Dave received some great advice from a co-worker to reach out to one person in his professional network each week. Many times, Dave will do this on LinkedIn or even via text if he has the person's number. “Keep that personal connection going. As much as AI is taking over, as much as we do a lot of things on Zoom, I've learned over my years of working in the industry that there's nothing better than the face-to-face interaction…. It's so much more fun and relaxing to just get out of the office or home office…and just sit down with people and keep that personal connection going.” – Dave Stevens Dave mentions he likes to get together with co-workers in the area every now and then, even if they have the same conversation in person that they would have had on Zoom. It's different and more relaxing. How can younger listeners who may be trying to break into the industry build a professional network when they might not have a deep contact list or large network like someone in the industry for a long time? Nick and Dave talked about this before hitting record and thought it could be helpful to share during our discussion. Dave has a newfound perspective on this from being around his nephews and nieces. The job market is very different today than when Dave first began his career. “Nowadays, resumes just go into a black hole, and you don't necessarily know if you're still in the mix for a current job.” – Dave Stevens Dave has encouraged his nephews and nieces to leverage their personal network to build a professional network. He may know someone who knows someone in the field they want to pursue, for example. “There's no shame or harm in utilizing all your resources…. Utilize your personal network because you don't have the professional network built up yet to help you get that foot in the door.” – Dave Stevens Young people could even use their parents as a way to broaden their own network. It's an opportunity to get introduced to others. Dave uses the example of a chance meeting at a concert that could result in a new connection for someone. Nick would encourage younger listeners to get out to in-person meetup groups on any interesting topic. Go ask people what they are learning, why they work where they work, how they got there, and see if they have advice for you. Dave agrees and has leveraged both local professional groups and meetup groups in the New Hampshire area to meet new people. This is expanding your local professional network as Dave calls it (not to be confused with your global professional network) and is a great thing to do when you move to a new place. You never know when a conversation at a local meetup might help you get a warm lead on a job that will be posted soon. Did the layoff come up in interviews at all? How did Dave handle that? Dave says some people brought it up. In other cases, he brought it up in conversation, wanting people to know he was not let go for doing something wrong. 28:22 – Reaching Closure and Reflecting Back on the Lessons How did Dave know he had reached closure on the layoff situation? Dave thinks he was motivated to take action toward finding a job due to a fear of boredom. He had been working on various projects but knew he would run out of them at some point. Dave had enough time to adjust to not having a job, and he was ready to begin doing some kind of work again. “I didn't want to get bored. I hate being bored. I hate being bored at work. I hate being bored in general. That's really what the impetus was for me to go out and start looking…that fear of relaxing for too long and being bored.” – Dave Stevens At this point Dave reached further into his professional network beyond that first group of friends and former colleagues he mentioned earlier. Does taking action in a direction mean we're ready to move on from what happened? Is it when we have to discuss what happened in an interview, or is it something else? How do we measure this? Dave says it was easier to accept and felt mostly behind him when he was actively looking for a new position. He knew only he could take the actions to move forward. The feeling of what happened before went completely away when Dave accepted a new job at Pure. Dave feels he was very lucky to find a role. Lining up multiple interviews gave Dave momentum and a feeling of positivity. “I feel that people understand that I have the skills for these jobs. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten 5 job interviews as quickly after I really started taking action to look for a job. So, I got lucky.” – Dave Stevens If Dave had to do it all again, what would he do differently? Dave feels he has about 10 more years left working in the tech industry. For now, Dave enjoys the job he has, wants to excel doing it, and wants to continue growing. Dave currently works for the best boss he's had to date. “He not only pushes me, but he pushes our entire team to just get better….” – Dave Stevens, on his current manager Dave tells us he does not want to be a people manager or a product manager. “I want to continue to excel and expand my depth of knowledge across the virtualization industry and the storage industry.” – Dave Stevens The work at Pure is very interesting to Dave, which is also motivating him to continue learning and excelling. Part of this is using more AI-focused tooling as it becomes available to use. What does Dave think the role of AI tools is in helping with one's job search? There are a number of tools out there we can leverage to analyze our resume. Dave suggests keeping track of which tool we've used to analyze our resume because that could be used to train a model. In addition to this, use AI to research companies. Use them to help you understand what companies are like and what their culture is like. Many people in a sales role within Pure, for example, use an AI tool of some kind to learn more about their customers. Nick reiterates the nuances of acquisitions. Dave worked for a company that was acquired by another company. Over time there was a pattern of people from the company which was acquired being laid off. Perhaps this is a sign we should watch for and prepare. Dave says we need to be looking at and listening for the signs coming toward us. He listens to his wife more intently when she makes a suggestion. Dave continues to check in with people in his professional network and offers advice when they need it. Dave would encourage all of us to use our personal and professional network if we end up in the situation he was in (experiencing a layoff). “Not everybody is going to be able to help you or is willing to reach out and help you, but when someone does…don't just brush it aside as they want something out of this. They probably genuinely want to help you. So, take advantage….” – Dave Stevens If you want to follow up with Dave on this conversation, Connect with Dave on LinkedIn Check out Dave's blog site Mentioned in the Outro The three week period Dave took to work on projects may have been what gave him the clarity on the type of work he did and did not want to do once he began his search. Dave mentions getting some great advice from his wife and her emphasis on him pursuing roles that would make him happy and be enjoyable work. This echoes something similar to what Brad Christian shared in Episode 264 – Back to Basics: Technology Bets and Industry Relationships with Brad Christian (2/2) when it came to choosing what to do next after a layoff.
