Cancer brought out the worst in me.

And for all the good I share about my Cancer journey, there was a dark side.

Yes, I shared about all of the silver linings that made me "better" for going through this. But it also brought many of my dark traits to the surface.

The impatience at times when I was tired, stressed, and not feeling my best.
Indecisiveness and sometimes rash decision-making. And while it's medically related, I was trying to overcompensate when my energy was too low by pushing myself past my limits.

And the worst, being short-tempered. There is no excuse. 

Not even Cancer.

It brought out my worst. Bad. And I took it out on those closest to me.

The loss of short-term memory (not counting the results of my college years) certainly exacerbated many of these traits. 

Yes, to an extent, and I do give myself some grace, but this is not who I am or want to be.

I am a Work In Progress. Aren't we all?

And I am taking the steps to improve and getting the help that I need so that I can be the best version of myself, for them, those who matter most to me.

So I urge two things

1. When you are going through something traumatic, try to find those moments of clarity and self-reflection to ask yourself, "even while I am dealing with this $hit, am I still really trying to be my best self?

2. If not, find whatever help is necessary to get as close to center as possible.

You owe it to yourself. You owe it to them.

Whose shoulders do you stand upon?

Who steered you in the right direction with mentorship, tough love and opened up doors for you?

And how do you honor them?

The best way is by proving them RIGHT for believing in you.

I was incredibly lucky to attend the Wurman Shoulders Weekend here in Miami the past couple of days (thanks, Chris 🫶 Adamo), where I experienced a "conference" like no other.

If the name "Wurman" rings a bell, that's Richard Saul Wurman, aka the Founder of TED Conferences. "Legend" isnt even close to an appropriate title.
Since 1984, he has curated real conversations with a cross-section of luminaries and defined "curiosity."

At the age of 90 he continues to reinvent what a "conference" could be. I went in with zero expectations aside from knowing the speaker lineup (link below) and that I would be a sponge to absorb their wisdom.

The theme was "shoulders"- with each guest being paired up with another and prompted by Richard to share who and how influenced them and their success. 

It was magic. It was organic. It was from the heart and soul. 

It was inspirational.  

It was intentional.

Full of intellect, deep conversations, connections, and warmth. 

Now its my job to implement the learnings into all aspects of my life as I define this next chapter in my life and career. 

My brain is percolating with possibilities and optimism. ✅

The bar has been raised!

"Contgrats on your engagement!!!", I said.

*then I immediately ran downstairs to slam my head against a wall and chain smoke an entire pack of cigarettes.

👆 That's just part of the story behind "my craziest deal collapse" ever!

We all have them as recruiters, it comes with the territory. We take a lot more L's than W's and its just part of the business. 

But its about HOW you recover and move forward after! 

My recruiting mentor told me that you can be mad AF all day until you wake up the next morning, then MOVE ON. Because there is nothing you can do about it!

I took that to heart (or at least tried to!)

I sat down with my man Jordan Gaspari, founder of Exclusent, Inc. on episode 485 of #thePOZcast#thePOZcast where we unpacked his journey and war stories.

This is a good one folks! 

* If you’re in the people business, this one will hit different.

🏆 Thank you to our friends at Fountain for their continued support. Fountain, your frontline workforce management platform.

❌ Stop hiring for “culture fit.” ❌

Seriously.

On episode #486 of #thePOZcast, Kelly McGinnis drops a take every hiring manager needs to hear:

“I never hire for 100% perfect cultural fit… because it’s kind of bullshit.”

Why?

Because perfect fit creates groupthink.

👉 And groupthink kills innovation, growth, and the future.

What you actually want:

 ✅ Values alignment
 ✅ Diversity of mindset
 ✅ People who challenge you, not just echo you

As Kelly puts it, leaders who only surround themselves with “yes people” aren’t building teams… they’re protecting their own comfort.

And that’s just one of the many mic-drop moments in this episode.

In this conversation, Kelly, President of Business Operations at Thermo Fisher Scientific,  breaks down: ↴

→ Why hiring for values beats culture fit every time
→ The myth of the 100-hour workweek
→ What “mental marination” really means for better decisions
→ How trust and delegation unlock real scale
→ Why success isn’t about titles, it’s about legacy

This episode is a masterclass in modern leadership, blending sharp strategy with a deeply human perspective.

If you’re a founder, hiring manager, or leader trying to build teams that actually move the business forward (without burning everyone out)… this one’s for you.
