still approaching jobs the old way?

In partnership with

We all have that one thing we’ve thought about for years but never acted on. Sometimes it only takes a spark from the right person to finally make the move.

Let’s rock👇🏼

One Message Away

You don’t move until someone lights the fire on your back.

If there’s no one around you pushing you even a smidge in any facet of life, I highly recommend finding these folks as fast as you can. This isn’t a pursuit of getting better every single day (yes, I believe in that as well); it’s about squeezing a little more out of life than you currently are.

I got the note below from a job seeker on their Trello board. They weren’t ready to send the message; they had thought about breaking into the US market for years. But now I’m here, stoking the fire and holding them accountable to send the message.

One message completely changes the course.

Response or not, you now have a muscle to send the message before thinking about it for years, and all the possible outcomes. When you get to the point where is’s enough, I hope you send the message.

When the fire finally hits your back - don’t hesitate.

Send the message.

Someone out there is waiting for your spark. ✌🏼

Bonus: In 10 years, no one will ever remember the message you sent, the headline you had on LinkedIn, or the relationship you tried to build. It’ll be a blip in the past.

3 questions to check in on how others view you professionally:

1. Who do I wish knew my story better?

2. Who do I need to bring into the fold earlier?

3. What was the last question where my input was invited?

Go hung your loved ones. What a weird and strange time in America.

Before you leave…

Make sure your resume is clean and isn’t loud. Achievements, keywords focused on that specific role, and stories you can tell. This isn’t rocket science.

How 433 Investors Unlocked 400X Return Potential

Institutional investors back startups to unlock outsized returns. Regular investors have to wait. But not anymore. Thanks to regulatory updates, some companies are doing things differently.

Take Revolut. In 2016, 433 regular people invested an average of $2,730. Today? They got a 400X buyout offer from the company, as Revolut’s valuation increased 89,900% in the same timeframe.

No wonder 10K+ everyday people are taking the chance on Pacaso.

Founded by a former Zillow exec, Pacaso’s co-ownership tech reshapes the $1.3T vacation home market. They’ve earned $110M+ in gross profit to date, including 41% YoY growth in 2024 alone. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

The same institutional investors behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay backed Pacaso. And you can join them. But not for long. Pacaso’s investment opportunity ends September 18.
