The Career Mistake Everyone Makes
I think people over-index on title and under-index on growth. I'd rather take maybe below the level you're at at a high-growth company and bet on yourself. Have confidence in yourself and bet on growth because if you're going to come in and operate at a really high level within a high-growth environment, that's the best thing for your career as opposed to like having some ego around like oh, I'm a X title.I want to stay that. I'd rather go somewhere where you can make a big impact in a growth framework. ...

What @CliffWeitzman learned sleeping at MrBeast's house for 3 weeks
You slept at Mr. . Beast's house for three weeks. What did you learn.I first met Jimmy at a party of one of my friends houses and we just ended up talking for like three hours and I was supposed to fly to New York and he's like, "Don't fly to New York. Come back with me to North Carolina. I want you to meet the rest of my team." I was like, "All right, sounds pretty cool." So, I flew there and I just ended up staying. We worked out.

The problem with Google hires | @CliffWeitzman
Typically, we found when we hired folks from Google, they come from a place of a ton of abundance. The hunger is not the same hunger. And you need to coach them out of essentially bad habits.And that can infest your culture in a bad way. The other thing is this is true in general of hiring in the Bay Area. The loyalty is a lot less high than you would get from hiring in Europe.Because in Europe, people really value a good company and a good job. And it's just not the same thing in New York or San Francisco. ...

CMOs should be able to run their own campaigns with AI
A CMO today should be able to run their own campaign. I'm not saying you have to spin up Marketo or HubSpot. I'm saying you should be able to tell your agent, let's talk about the three best campaigns we should run to support, scale, whatever, and run it themselves now, because you don't need a team to do it. You and the agent should do it, and you should want to do that, and you should be passionate about it, and you should get rid of the executives in your organization that are resisting that.Our AIVPA ma ...
The LinkedIn red flag that gets you fired instantly
Anyone on LinkedIn that talks about their team, fire them. They're also precious about their team. My team, my team did this.That means they did nothing. Lead from the effing front with AI. But in all seriousness, AI lets you lead from the front, and this is who we want to work with. This is who we want to invest. This is who we want on our teams.We want folks that lead from the front. Managers of managers lead from the rear. They lead from HQ, from their comfy office and their mug, and we're done with it.I ...
