Hi Curious Expeditions readers. You have not heard from me in a long while because I am building Level Up: Your source for career growth solutions & community with Ethan Evans (retired Amazon VP).
We are growing fast and our community is humming (member benefits).
I also had a fun interview with Julia Levy at The Switchboard on partnering with bar-raising leaders, up-leveling career-growth through community, the meaning of culture, and life/work hacks. Some of my favorite one-liners:
You can embrace nonlinear career paths.
Find business partners who have high intelligence, high energy, and high integrity. Ethan Evans is a real-life example.
A powerful community can move mountains and scale beyond any individual.
When building culture, purposefully build principles that create tension because it forces you to think more deeply.
Be a cultural bar-raiser at your company. It opens doors.
Try my 3 life/work hacks:
Work Like A Lion, Not A Cow
Eat the frog by noon
Be present by portraying the character you want at that time of day
If you want to grow in your career, I’ll see you at Level Up.
