Working with smart people is great.
But it is not enough.

Because intelligence can solve problems.
But humility and kindness build cultures where problems don’t have to exist in the first place.

Here’s why it matters so much 👇

Kind and humble people:

They make collaboration effortless.
You don’t waste energy defending ideas or egos. 
You build together - faster, cleaner, and with more trust.

They create psychological safety.
When people feel respected, they speak up, share bold ideas, 
and admit mistakes early. 
That’s how teams innovate and grow.

They inspire long-term loyalty.
People don’t leave companies - they leave toxic dynamics. 
Working with grounded, genuine teammates keeps great talent around.

 Ways to practice kindness and humility at work:

Listen more than you talk.
You don’t need to have the loudest voice to have the strongest impact. 
Listening builds connection and earns respect.

Give credit - generously.
Acknowledging others’ work doesn’t diminish your own. 
It multiplies the trust and energy in your team.

Keep learning.
The moment you think you’ve “arrived,” you stop growing. 
Stay curious, stay open, and never let success make you unapproachable.

Kind people build strong teams.
Strong teams create big results.

If your job costs you your peace,
it’s too expensive.

You deserve a job that lets you sleep peacefully at night -
not one that keeps you awake questioning your worth, your future, or your sanity.

A healthy career doesn’t rely on:

 ❌ burnout
 ❌ constant anxiety
 ❌ toxic expectations

A healthy career is built on:

 ✔️ clear boundaries
 ✔️ supportive leadership
 ✔️ meaningful work
 ✔️ respect for your time and well-being

Your job should challenge you - not drain you.

It should grow you - not break you.

And it should fit into your life, not become your life.

If your work steals your peace, it’s costing you more than it pays.

Reality:
A small, ordinary action.

LinkedIn:
A “high-impact initiative” with “key learnings” and “next steps.”

Clear communication beats inflated language.
Strong professionals don’t need to oversell normal work.

Say what you did.
Say why it mattered.
Move on.

Clarity builds trust faster than buzzwords.

Funny how your brain has unlimited energy
for worst-case scenarios.

It can write entire disaster scripts at 3 a.m.
With dialogue.
With consequences.
With a soundtrack.

But ask it to imagine things going well
and suddenly it needs evidence, references, and a peer review.

That’s not intuition.
That’s anxiety pretending to be preparation.

You don’t need to stop overthinking.
You just need to stop letting it bully you into pessimism only.

If your mind insists on spiraling,
at least make it spiral in both directions.

Same brain.
Different hypothesis.

It’s not about collecting business cards or follower counts.

It’s about building bridges with people who get it - who challenge you, inspire you, and open doors you didn’t know existed.

The right network doesn’t just grow your career - it expands your mindset, your confidence, and your opportunities.

Here are 12 ways to build powerful, authentic connections:

1️⃣ Lead with curiosity. Ask, don’t pitch. People love being seen and heard.

2️⃣ Add value first. Share insights, introductions, or encouragement before asking for anything.

3️⃣ Show up consistently. Comment, engage, and participate where your industry hangs out.

4️⃣ Find your communities. Join professional groups, Slack channels, or niche forums.

5️⃣ Attend events strategically. Go where your next mentor, collaborator, or client might actually be.

6️⃣ Follow up. A short, thoughtful message can turn a conversation into a relationship.

7️⃣ Be generous with your expertise. Give more than you take - it builds reputation fast.

8️⃣ Don’t chase status. The best opportunities often come from peers, not big titles.

9️⃣ Stay authentic. Pretending to be someone you’re not is the fastest way to disconnect.

1️⃣0️⃣ Keep it human. Share stories, not sales pitches.

1️⃣1️⃣ Support others publicly. Celebrate others’ wins - it builds goodwill that lasts.

1️⃣2️⃣ Play the long game. Relationships compound like interest; nurture them with time.

The truth? You’re one conversation away from a completely different path.

The advice I wish I could’ve given myself 8 years ago:

Create a culture people never want to leave.

Yes, you can’t keep everyone with a 0% turnover rate. 
Let’s face it.

But what you can do is build an environment people don’t want to walk away from.

Build a culture that makes employees:

↳ Recommend it to their friends as the dream job, 
↳ Stay, even if the paycheck isn't perfect yet, 
↳ Come back when the conditions are right.

Think about it:

👉 A competitive paycheck might keep someone for a while, 
But a toxic culture will drive them away for good.

👉 You can offer all the perks, but if the culture is unhealthy, 
Nothing will make your best people stick around.

People stay where they feel valued.

It’s not just about the money—it’s about creating a workplace 
that makes people excited to show up every day.

Small habit.
Big impact.

The way you speak to yourself
every morning
becomes your baseline.

Speak growth.
Speak calm.
Speak possibility.

It adds up.

“Hire the people that…”

Interesting how the list skips:
– constant availability
– performative hustle
– being the loudest voice
– working 24/7 for optics

Great teams grow from maturity, not heroics.
From people who communicate clearly, take ownership, and move in sync.

Ego slows teams down.
Trust speeds them up.
Psychological safety keeps the work moving.

Hire for reliability and collaboration first.
Everything else gets easier after that.

“It wasn’t a waste of time if you learned something.”

That’s easy to agree with in theory.
Harder when the lesson came with lost money, bruised confidence, or a year you won’t get back.

Still - experience has a way of paying later.

It sharpens your instincts.
It changes what you tolerate.
It shortens the gap between seeing a red flag and acting on it.

Not every chapter produces visible wins.
Some exist to quietly upgrade your judgment.

And that upgrade shows up in every decision after.

Nobody talks about this part enough.

You can do it tired.
You can do it frustrated.
You can do it unsure.

You just can’t do it if you quit.

Keep going.

Here’s a hard truth most people avoid:

If you’re not making mistakes, you’re not moving forward.

I learned this the slow way.

Early on, I tried to get everything right.
Perfect plan.
Perfect timing.
Perfect execution.

And progress?
Basically stalled.

Things only changed when I gave myself permission to be wrong.

To test ideas that might flop.
To ship work that wasn’t perfect.
To learn out loud instead of waiting in silence.

Mistakes aren’t failure.
They’re feedback.

The people doing the most interesting work
aren’t avoiding mistakes.

They’re just willing to make them faster.

Safe paths feel good.
But they don’t teach much.

Growth always comes with friction.
That’s the price of trying something new.

10 years of rejection.

That's how long Squid Game's creator spent pitching his script.

Studio after studio said no.
Too dark. Too violent. Won't work.

Then Netflix took a chance.

28 days later, it became their most-watched show in history.

A decade of "no" turned into a $900M yes.

Most people quit after a few rejections.
They assume the silence means the idea is bad.

But rejection isn't a verdict.
It's just timing.

The right opportunity doesn't always show up first.
Sometimes it shows up tenth. Or hundredth.

If you're getting rejected right now, consider this:

You might not be wrong.
You might just be early.

Keep going.

How to survive marketing in 2026.

Open your laptop.
Check Slack.
Three notifications in…

…and you already feel behind.

Sound familiar?

In 2026, “digital marketer” doesn’t mean one role anymore.
It means the entire agency in one tab.

Copywriter.
Strategist.
Videographer.
Social media manager.
Designer.
Editor.
Analyst.

All before lunch.

From experience, the problem isn’t a lack of skill.
It’s the expectation that one person can do everything at once and do it well.

Burnout doesn’t come from hard work.
It comes from an impossible scope.

The marketers who survive aren’t the busiest.
They’re the ones who set boundaries, prioritize ruthlessly, and stop trying to be great at everything every day.

Because marketing isn’t about doing more.
It’s about doing the right things consistently.

Agree?

Most marketers track a ton of metrics.

Very few know which ones actually matter.

Here are 7 worth paying attention to, plus how to improve each one:

(bookmark this)

Our email domains kept getting blacklisted at my agency.

Everyone assumed we were sending too aggressively.

After diving into the data, we found the real issue.

18% bounce rate.
From a "verified" list.

We had bad data.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗰𝗼𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝗻𝗼𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗸𝘀 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁:

Deals lost during 2-3 weeks of rebuilding.
Hours spent verifying and cleaning lists.
Teams questioning their skills when it's not their fault.
Buying new domains every month.

We thought this was just how outbound worked.

Then I saw a friend's company sending thousands of emails each week.
Same domains. Month after month.
Strong deliverability maintained.

They were using Prospeo.io's data.

SMTP handshakes verify emails before you send.
BounceBan removes risky addresses automatically.
Weekly updates catch job changes that kill domains.

After testing several providers, Prospeo consistently delivered the cleanest data.

Our domains have been going steady for months now.
Data prep time cut by 80%.
Bounce rates dropped from 18% to under 2%.

Clean data isn't just about deliverability.
It's about keeping your team confident and productive.

What hidden costs is bad data creating at your agency?

I used to think GTM complexity was just part of the job.

Multiple tools. Manual handoffs. Workflows that took hours to build and days to fix.

Last week I tested Apollo's AI Assistant on something different: workflow creation.

Instead of clicking through menus and configuring triggers manually, I just described what I wanted in plain English.

The AI built the multi-step workflow in minutes.

What used to require:
→ A GTM engineer
→ Multiple tools stitched together
→ Hours of setup and testing

Now happens in a single conversation.

Same thing with building prospect lists, creating sequences, or analyzing campaign performance. Describe what you need. The AI handles the execution.

Most teams are still doing GTM the old way. Clicking through settings, connecting triggers, testing each step manually.

Meanwhile, the fastest operators are just talking to the AI.

GTM shouldn't require an engineering degree.
It should require clear thinking and the right tools.

Everyone treats LinkedIn like a resume.

I treated it like a funnel instead and got 1,300 leads.

For months, I thought was doing everything "right."

Posting daily.
Writing strong hooks.
Engaging in comments.

But I was only getting likes, not leads.

Why?

Because I was treating LinkedIn it's only for content.

Not a funnel.

The shift happened when I stopped asking "what should I post" and started asking "what path does my ideal customer take?"

Here's the truth:

Content without a funnel is just noise.

Your profile and every post needs to answer one question "does this move someone closer to trusting me?"

Not "is this clever?" Not "will this go viral?"

Just trust.

You need a system that makes it impossible for your customers to not take the next step.

Once I built that lens, everything clicked.

I created this 9-step funnel (see image for all the steps) and everything changed. 1,300 leads in the next 3 months.

The crazy part?

Most people are doing 3-4 of these steps already. They're just missing the ones that actually convert.

Look at the image. 
Find the 3 steps you're skipping. 
Fix those first.

That's how you turn content into leads.

29 LinkedIn crimes you might be guilty of.

Don’t get caught doing this on LinkedIn.

We’ve seen too many creators break the rules lately.

Posting like it's Facebook. Oversharing like it's therapy.
And forgetting to remove AI buzzwords from ChatGPT

So we made a list.

29 infractions you’ll want to avoid at all costs.

❌ No more pitch slapping DMs
❌ No more begging for engagement
❌ No more waiting days to never hit ‘post’ because it’s not perfect yet

What Not To Do On LinkedIn

Stop overcomplicating your goals.

Here's what actually works:

I used to set big goals.

Then spend weeks building the "perfect" system to achieve them.

Complex funnels.
Elaborate processes.
Detailed tracking sheets.

I'd finally start the actual work...
And burn out after 12 days.

Every. Single. Time.

The problem wasn't my goals.
It was my approach.

I spent more time setting up than doing.

And complex systems create fatigue before they create results.

Here's what I learned:

Simple things get repeated.
Complex things get abandoned.

Think about it:
→ Simple routine = 300+ days done this year
→ Complex routine = 12 days then you quit

You can't do complicated every day.
You can do simple every day.

Daily repetition beats occasional perfection.

So stop building the "perfect" system.
Stop chasing elaborate processes.

Start simple.
Repeat daily.
Win over time.

Finding content ideas isn't about inspiration.

It's about having a repeatable process.

I learned this the hard way.

My first 3 months on LinkedIn, I'd sit at my laptop for hours.

Waiting for something clever to hit me.
Scrolling through my feed hoping for a spark.
Staring at a blank screen until I gave up.

Then I'd post something generic just to stay consistent.

And wonder why nobody engaged with it.

The problem wasn't that I lacked creativity.

It's that I was treating content creation like art.
When really, it's more like manufacturing.

Most people quit posting because they think they need to be more creative.

But creativity without a system is just inconsistency.

How to Never Run Out of LinkedIn Content Ideas

Audio editing used to steal 10 hours from my family every week.

Now 1 prompt and we spent yesterday at the pool instead.

Here's what changed:

My wife creates ASMR content.
And perfect audio isn't optional, it's mandatory.

For months, every weekend looked the same:

Her hunched over a laptop for 10+ hours
Cutting background noise frame by frame
Removing every tiny audio mistake

Me staring at the clock counting the hours.

One glitch ruins the entire video.
One background noise? Start over.

It was brutal.

Then Meta released an AI audio editor.

Yesterday we tested it.
She uploaded a 45-minute video with background noise throughout.
Typed one prompt: "Remove background noise."

30 seconds later?
Professional quality audio.

The exact same result that used to take 10 hours of manual work.
We looked at each other and just laughed.

This week we got 10 hours back.
And spent some extra time at the pool.
That's what this tool actually gives you.

Not just better audio.
Your life back.

Here's the exact process:
1/ Go to Sam Audio Tool by Meta
2/ Upload your audio or video
3/ Type what you want fixed
4/ Click "Isolate Sound"
5/ Download your result

Zero cost.
Zero technical skills.
Zero wasted weekends.

The content creation game just changed.

While everyone else is grinding through manual edits, you can ship faster and actually live your life.

Edit Audio With AI

Getting followers is an easy.

Turning them into clients next? That's where most people fail.

I see this constantly:

Someone posts for 6 months & hits 5k followers
Gets tons of engagement
Has 0 clients
Quits

Why?

Because followers aren't customers.
Engagement isn't revenue.
And posting more won't fix it.

Here's the proactive approach that actually works:

1. Prospect like your business depends on it
Send 25+ personalized DMs daily. 
Not copy-paste garbage. 
Real outreach to people who engaged with your content.

2. Do your homework first
One minute of research beats 100 generic messages. 
Check their profile. 
Reference something specific to show you actually care.

3. Think like a fanatic prospector
Average prospectors wait for motivation. 
Fanatics prospect every single day. 
Discipline beats inspiration.

4. Replace new leads even immediately after wins
Close a deal? Add 10 new prospects to your pipeline.
Churn is a real thing so lead generation should never stop.

5. Block time like it's sacred
60 minutes daily. Same time. Same place. 
No emails, no Slack, no meetings. 
Just prospecting.

6. Show proof, not promises
People are scared to get burned. 
Testimonials, case studies, wins: plaster them everywhere. 
Add authority to your profiles.

7. Follow up relentlessly
80% of sales happen after the 5th touchpoint. 
Most quit after 1. 
Vary your follow-up types and keep going.

8. Use multiple channels
If all your leads come from one channel, you have a single point of failure.
Have a 2nd lead gen channel and a platform update ruins the 1st? No problems when you have 2 channels.

9. Live by the 30-day rule
Your pipeline today reflects your effort 30 days ago. 
Today's prospecting pays off in 30 days. 
Think long-term.

10. Track everything religiously
DMs sent. Reply rate %. 
Conversations started. 
Calls booked. 
Deals closed. 
You can't improve what you don't measure.

The truth?

Most people won't do this.

They'll keep posting and wondering why their followers aren't handing money over to them.

But you? You can be different.

I just analyzed my top 73 posts.

97% of them had one thing in common:

Real-life experience + business takeaway.

Not a theory.
Not repackaged advice.
Not AI generated content.

Actual stories from my life that led to a lesson.

Here's the truth nobody wants to hear:

AI can write your hooks.
AI can structure your posts.
AI can polish your grammar.

But AI can't tell your story.

It can't replicate:
↳ The panic you felt when your startup failed
↳ The conversation that made you quit your job
↳ The moment you proved everyone wrong

Your competition is using the same AI.
Reading the same threads.
Following the same playbook.

But they haven't lived your life.
That's your unfair advantage.

Stop trying to create "perfect" content.

Start creating honest content:
→ Share the failure before the lesson
→ Show the messy middle, not just the highlight reel
→ Tell the story only you can tell

Because while everyone else is asking AI "what should I post?"

You should be asking yourself "What did I do, and what did I learn from it?"

The algorithm rewards authenticity.
And so do people.

P.S. What's the most valuable lesson you learned the hard way? 👇

Everyone has access to the same AI.

So why do some people get 10x better results?

It's not the tool.
It's how you talk to it.

I used to think ChatGPT was overhyped.

I'd ask it questions.
Get mediocre answers.
Then go back to doing things manually.

"This AI stuff isn't for me."

That's what I told myself.
But I was wrong.

The problem wasn't the AI.
It was me.

I was treating it like Google when I should've been treating it like a conversation.

Here's what changed everything:

I stopped asking random questions.
I started building systems.
And now AI saves me 10+ hours every week.

Here's what actually works in 2026:

Start with frameworks:
→ APE for quick tasks
→ RACE for detailed work
→ COAST for complex projects

Then level up with these:

1. Clarity before answers
Ask yourself what you actually need before asking AI.

2. Make AI show its work
"Explain your reasoning step-by-step."

3. Give it context upfront
Past decisions, preferences, background - feed it everything.

4. Challenge its first answer
"What would a skeptic say? Now give me a better version."

5. Ask better questions
Tell AI when your question is unclear and ask it to rewrite it.

And avoid these mistakes:

❌ Using generic roles ("You're a helpful assistant")
❌ Assuming it knows your context
❌ Accepting the first output

The people winning with AI aren't smarter.
They just learned the system.

Most people use AI like:
→ A better Google
→ A one-and-done tool
→ Something that should read their mind

Top performers use it like:
→ A thinking partner
→ An iterative process
→ A system that needs clear inputs

The difference?

One group gets frustrated and quits.
The other multiplies their output by 10x.

Which one do you want to be?

I just asked Claude to remove all junk in my download folder.

It actually worked.

I've tested AI tools that control my computer before.

They always made mistakes.
Moved the wrong files.
Needed constant tweaking.

This time was different.

Here's what I had Claude's new 'Cowork' tool help me with:

My download folder was a disaster.
Old LinkedIn posts I'd downloaded.
Random PDFs everywhere.
2 years of digital chaos.

So I asked Claude Cowork to find all my old LinkedIn posts and organize them.

Here's what shocked me:

It didn't just blindly grab every PDF.
It actually differentiated between:
→ LinkedIn posts I'd saved
→ Ebooks that looked similar
→ Other random documents

Then put the LinkedIn posts only all in one folder.

First try.
No errors.
No babysitting.

I deleted all those old files in under a minute.
Could Claude also have deleted them for me?

Probably.

But I'm not quite ready to let AI do that without double-checking yet.

Baby steps folks!

Here's how you can do this too:

1. Install Claude Desktop App

2. Open Claude App
Click the Cowork tab in the app.

3.Tell It Your Task
"Find all my old LinkedIn posts and organize them in my downloads folder."

4. Let It Work
It handles the thinking for you.

The difference between this and other AI tools?

Most AI needs you to hold its hand.
Claude Cowork actually works on the first try.

It doesn't just follow instructions.
It thinks through the problem.
It makes smart decisions.
That's what separates AI assistants from AI agents.

One answers questions.
The other solves problems.

I'm finally starting to trust it with real work.
And that changes everything.

7 Jiu Jitsu Concepts That Will Change How You Work:

Most people feel like they're working harder but getting nowhere.

But some people stay calm under pressure and still win.

I've been training Jiu Jitsu since I was 5 years old.

Over two decades on the mat taught me something critical:
Effort without strategy is just exhaustion.

And the same principles that work in competition work in business.

Here are 7 Jiu Jitsu concepts you need to know to transform how you work:

1. Leverage: Position Beats Power
↳ Stop trying to outwork everyone. Find the 20% of actions that drive 80% of results.
↳ Build systems that compound. One great hire does the work of three average ones.
↳ Position yourself where effort multiplies. Teach one, reach thousands.

2. Position Before Submission: Set Up Before You Close
↳ Give real value before pitching anything. Spend months helping your audience first.
↳ Earn trust before asking for the sale. Share wins, lessons, and expertise freely.
↳ Secure your position. Then go for the close.

3. Know When to Tap: Kill Projects Early
↳ Set kill metrics for every project. If X doesn't happen by Y date, tap out.
↳ Your sunk costs aren't your future strategy. Cut losses fast.
↳ Ego keeps you in bad positions longer than logic ever would.

4. A Strong Base: Master Fundamentals First
↳ Pick one platform and dominate it. Don't spread yourself thin.
↳ Master the basics before trying advanced tactics. Speaking, selling, writing fundamentals beat every hack.
↳ Your base should work even when trends change.

5. Flow: Adapt or Die
↳ When the algorithm changes, adapt. Don't complain the game isn't fair.
↳ Winners pivot. Losers freeze and blame external factors.
↳ Test new formats weekly. Keep what works. Kill what doesn't.

6. Economy of Motion: Minimum Effort, Maximum Results
↳ Cut everything that doesn't directly drive revenue or relationships.
↳ Batch similar tasks. Context switching kills productivity.
↳ Say no to 80% of opportunities so you can dominate the 20%.

7. Mat Time Principle: Theory Without Reps Is Useless
↳ Stop taking courses. Start shipping work.
↳ Post daily for 90 days. Most will fail. That's the point.
↳ You only learn by doing. Watching videos doesn't make you good.

I've been applying these principles since I was 5 years old.
They work on the mat. They work in business.

I applied them when I started posting on LinkedIn 2 years ago.

My first 45 posts? Total failures.
But I kept showing up.

Now I have 16,000 followers and consistent leads.
