One of the most underrated career skills:

Being respectful to everyone in the room.

I was raised to treat the janitor the same as the CEO.
And it's a lesson that's carried me through my career.

It might sound simple.
But it often gets overlooked.

And yet, being polite, respectuful and empathetic of everyone else (regardless of their role or postion) goes much further than most realise.

✅ It builds trust with colleagues.
✅ It creates opportunities with mentors.
✅ It shapes your circle of people.

Because career growth is built on trust.

3 simple lessons to carry forward:

1/ Value every role.
↳ A title doesn’t define a person’s worth.
↳ Show equal respect at every level.

2/ Listen before you speak.
↳ Everyone carries a story you don’t know.
↳ Be curious about their perspective.

3/ Actively make an effort to show kindness.
↳ Small acts of respect cost nothing.
↳ But they’re remembered for years.

It's not about being perfect.
It's about making small, conscious efforts.

When you do that:

Colleagues turn into mentors.
Bosses became advocates.
Peers became friends.

Respect costs nothing.
But it can shape your whole career.

What's a small act of respect that stood out to you?

Content Writer @ Kurogo | Former Rugby League Player Turned Writer

I played Rugby League for 16 years, with the dream of eventually making it as a pro.

But that dream died a tragic death.

So I proceeded to have a bit of an identity crisis and felt fairly lost on this spinning rock.

Then in 2019, I stumbled across writing, more specifically, copywriting. It was pretty much love at first sight.

So I decided to go all in on writing online whilst being a bit of a nomad (I eventually ended up living in southern Spain).

Since then, I've written for 60+ business owners, with the aim of helping them: 

• Attract top talent.
• Book more meetings.
• Increase brand awareness.
• Stand out from competition.
• Gain more newsletter subscribers.

Now, I work at one of the UK's leading Personal Branding agencies.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase 'personal branding' a lot. I'm sure it probably makes you want to curl up into a ball and cringe your little noggin' off.

But the thing is: 

Building your brand as a professional in this day and age is pretty bloody crucial.

Why? Well...

Your reputation matters.
How you're perceived matters.
And the stories you share matter.

But doing all of that, and creating brand content can take a helluva lot of time and effort. 

Thankfully, that's where Kurogo comes in.

To put it simply, if you're a brand owner, C-suite exec, or an outright professional in your field, that:

a) Isn't satisfied with your current content.
b) Has no time to create content.
c) Doesn't know where to start.
d) All of the above.

Let us help you create content that: 

→ Entertains
→ Educates
→ Provides actionable advice

That’s about it for now. 

If you fancy a chat, feel free to send me a message.

Other than that, see you on the timeline.

Cheers :)

Content Writer @ Kurogo | Ghostwritten for 60+ founders, CEOs and C-Suites

I haven’t posted in MONTHS. I’ve been too busy AI-maxxing. Things I’ve automated right now:

– My caffeine intake
– My sleeping hours (I don’t need to sleep anymore)
– Every single letter of every single post I write (no edits)
– My morning thoughts
– My evening thoughts
– My opinions on AI
– My opinions on opinions about AI
– My personality
– My entire internal monologue
– My sense of purpose

I don’t need to do anything at all. My Claude Cowork Megatron 9000 does everything.

I just lean back in my chair and watch my entire life get automated before my very eyes while I smoke 6 pineapple iced Lost Mary vapes per day.

Fuck man… I haven’t actually had a genuine human thought in months.

I’m AI-maxxing right now chat.

I ain’t losing my job. I ain’t getting left behind. I'm ahead of the curve.

Thoughts?

What people think ghostwriting is: "Tell me your ideas, and I’ll write them."

The reality of ghostwriting:

Founder: “I don’t have many ideas. I don’t know what to tell you. My life really isn’t that interesting.”

Me: “Okay, tell me what you’ve been up to and what’s on your mind.”

Founder: casually talks for 37 minutes about crazy shit that nobody else I know has ever done in their 20+ years on earth, never mind a 7-14 day period. An obscene amount of productivity that ~80% of humans aren’t capable of. Worldviews, thought processes and a level of systems thinking that are on another stratosphere to the average mind. Stories you could create literal movies about.

Also founder: “I don’t know if that’s actually useful for you though”

Me:

When someone says “can you just quickly…” then proceeds to send a list that’s longer than my entire fvcking future:
