Demand Curve | 93,000 founders get 3 startup growth tactics in their inbox each week. Join the Growth Newsletter below.

I have an extremely strange mix of skills/experience:

- Mechanical engineer
- Full-stack developer
- Serial entrepreneur ($25M+ in total revenue)
- Content creator/marketer (100k+ newsletter subs and millions of page views)
- Growth marketer (ran marketing companies for 9 years)
- Crypto nerd (20k+ defi transactions)

Which is why I run marketing at a scrappy and highly technical crypto company—I can do a bit of everything.

New job title just dropped

In 2026, you can:

- Bet on how many tweets Elon posts this month
- Bet on whether Jesus Christ will return in 2026
- Bet on which country the US strikes next

It's honestly a bit absurd 😅 

With memecoins, you can bet on the cultural relevance of ideas and moments.

And now with Zora, you can mint a token on anything you think will trend — a tweet, a news event, a vibe — and turn it into a market.

Yes, even the topic of the day on LinkedIn.

We've been talking for a while about the Attention Economy and how creators like Mr. Beast have learned to capitalize on it, but now we, the social media-addicted consumers, can capitalize on it as well.

So, although this job post is a joke, trading culturally relevant content is already how some people earn their living.

To you, this may be a dystopian future, but sports betting is surging among Gen Z. 

$1.3B was transacted on prediction markets during the Super Bowl alone.

The appetite to put money where your opinion is isn't going away — it's expanding into every corner of culture.

Whether you think that's exciting or terrifying, the infrastructure is being built right now. Which is why Codex Data Inc is excited to power Zora's token data.

"Attention Economist" might be a joke today. But what else are we going to do when AGI comes? 😅

Go from invisible to interviews.

I help experienced professionals who are applying for roles they can do but still hearing nothing.

This isn't a resume edit. It’s a full rebuild of how you show up on paper.

I'm a former recruiter who understands what recruiters actually screen for when hiring. I use that inside knowledge to rebuild your resume, LinkedIn, and positioning so your value is clear in seconds.

Most clients go from silence to interviews in under two weeks.
Some within 24 hours.

I’ve reviewed resumes of over 8,000 professionals across 119 countries, especially in HR, education, tech, and senior leadership.

You get a strategy call, done-for-you writing, interview prep, recruiter scripts, and WhatsApp support throughout.

If you apply to 20 roles and don’t get interviews, I rewrite it or refund you.

You’re not unqualified. You’re just not being seen clearly.

Let’s fix that.

You’re Not in the Room

When a senior role is about to become vacant, something interesting happens.

It’s not posted.
It’s not announced.
It’s not discussed publicly.

Instead, quiet conversations begin.

Senior leaders lean across tables and ask:

“Who should we be talking to?”
“Who’s ready?”
“Who can actually handle this?”

If your name doesn’t come up in those conversations, you were never in the race.

Here’s the hard truth:

You don’t get tapped on the shoulder because you’re loyal.
You don’t get tapped because you work long hours.
You get tapped because when your name is mentioned, people feel confident.

If you want to be the person they approach, you need to:

• Deliver results that are visible, not just valuable
• Build trust beyond your direct manager
• Make your ambition known without sounding entitled
• Become someone others can confidently recommend

Before the role opens, the decision is already forming.

So ask yourself:

If your leaders were having that conversation today, would your name come up?
