[Read more…]A job searcher’s worst enemy
Hey friend –
I was on Reddit the other day in r/resumes and saw a poster comment that their biggest struggle was coming up with something original.
And this person couldn’t have been more wrong. Here’s why…
[Read more…]Are you falling for one of these career killing lies?
In the movie Black Panther, there’s a foundational moment when the character Zuri explains why he left a child behind to fend for himself in inner city Oakland — after watching the king kill the child’s father.
And to add to that, the man the king killed was his brother…

He told himself that every day until it ultimately caught up with him and he met his end at the hands of Killmonger.

[Read more…]The saddest milkshake I’ve ever had🥛😩
So I was at one of my favorite local restaurants a couple of days ago and I noticed something different.
My kids ordered milkshakes and like any good dad I patiently waited for my opportunity to swoop in to sneak a sip…
Something weird happened though because when they brought it out, it was the milkiest milkshake I’ve ever seen… for the second time in as many visits. You might even describe it as sad because it was WAY more milk than shake…
