Manifesting my actual dream job: Pokemon trainer (Elite Four).

Haha true. Assuming we’re referring to a legitimate side hustle, I’m curious if you think it is a net positive or negative on an employee’s productivity?

I agree 100%. All stars will be productive regardless.

Side hustles are a yellow flag for employers. Thoughts? #hrsky

That awkward moment when you hype up a guest feature in your newsletter… and forget to include the link.

Curious - what are some of those common factors?

Read this and agree with you!

It probably needs another catalyst or two to hit critical mass. I’m cautiously optimistic.

If I was an insurance CEO, I’d be camping in an underground bunker hiding from the copycat effect.

True. Customers only care about the result. 😆

“Avoiding self-promotion” tops my list. I tend to agree with ChatGPT. 😆

Hey Kenneth! It’s worked well for me thus far. A little more on the expensive side though. Depending on your budget and what features you need, you might want to consider beehiv and mailerlite. Feel free to dm if you have more questions. Happy to help.

Is DOGE a net positive or negative?

You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with. Ok, but what if I spend the most time on BlueSky? Asking for a friend. 🤔

🙋‍♂️Did finance in school, took a support rep role in a Y combinator startup, became an analyst at a recruiting agency, got swept up in the NFT craze and became a contractor, then took a CSM job, and now working on GradSimple, a newsletter designed to help graduates find their path in life/career.

Number 2! Talk to me with actions, not words.

True! SO many people fall into the trap of planning for perfection - and end up never actually taking action. Imo, you earn your stripes by failing.

Looks handy! Curious, what are your thoughts on monetization?

I’m working on GradSimple, a weekly newsletter that helps people find their purpose through graduate interviews, self-reflections, and actionable advice! And yourself?

Note to self from Chef’s Table Noodles episode Evan Funke: Find your pasta. 🍝

#findyourpasta

That’s literally my goal 💪

That’s a nice Invisible Friend you got there!

This! I told myself I’d join BlueSky to meet like-minded people. Instead, I’ve found myself doom scrolling more times than I can count these past few days! 🥲

Did anyone else use em dashes—before AI made them cool (or ruined them, depending on who you ask)?
