In this video I'll share 5 tips I've learned along my journey to get found by recruiters.

Criteria to have an All-Star LinkedIn profile

1. Profile Photo
2. Industry and location
3. An up-to-date current position (with a description)
4. Two past positions
5. Education
6. Skills (at least three)
7. At least 50 connections

It was Feb 2017, when I received a call out of the blue from Amazon. When I asked how the recruiter found me, she replied “LinkedIn”. At the time I had been working for American Express as a Senior Product Manager. I was making a nice six figure salary, but Amazon gave me an offer and role I COULDN’T refuse.

Having a LinkedIn profile changed my life. I spent a lot of time the past two years refining my profile, learning how to create a compelling story, and amassing a network by going to events and reaching out to people (I now have 1,390 connections). The time was well-spent, with LinkedIn recently granting me with illustrious title of “All-Star” based on my industry, description, education, skills, profile photo, and connections. According to LinkedIn, people with completed profiles “are 40 times more likely to receive opportunities through LinkedIn” because only 51% of members have a completed profile.

LinkedIn has empowered me to flip the traditional “apply and pray” model on its head, making recruiters sell me on opportunities, as opposed to me attempting to sell myself. This creates a tremendous amount of leverage and allows me to simply say “If you want me, then show me the money”

I now have recruiters reaching out to me every week (including Google two months ago).

So, does being on LinkedIn help you get hired?

There's a lot of Youtube videos out there that will teach you how to write the PERFECT cover letter, but the reality is (especially in Tech) that nobody will ever take the time to read it. 

Today, if you are an external candidate, you don't know anyone on the inside, and you are trying to stand out, the competition is fierce. Each opening  has anywhere between 100-200 applicants and because of this, you'll be lucky if a recruiter even clicks, or spends a few seconds on you resume, let alone spends any time reading an entire 1-page cover letter. 

For you to land an interview in 2018 you have to get out of your comfort zone, and gain access directly to the hiring manager if you want to increase your chances of getting noticed.

The decision to go to college or not is a lot harder to make today than it was in the past. College used to guarantee that you'd get a good job, but today that's not exactly the case anymore.

There are so many cheap online courses out there that, in many cases, provide a better education than traditional college. Unfortunately, if you'r trying to go down a traditional career path, free or relatively inexpensive courses don't hold any weight with HR managers.

My hope in this video is that you takeaway a perspective that College is not the only answer. College give you options in an extremely competitive job market.

So Is College worth it? Check out a couple resources below to get you started.

Here are some resources to help get you started:

I recently read the power of habit by Charles Duhigg and I wanted to share a couple lessons I learned about habit formation, how to break bad habits, and how to keep them from coming back once and for all.

Every habit can be broken down into a three step process of cue, routine and reward. The cue is essentially a trigger that sends your brain into autopilot, this cue can be anything from a time of day to a location, to someone around you or maybe even a behavioral pattern. The second part of the habit loop is the “routine,”. And the last stage is the “reward,”. The reward stage is when your brain determines whether or not the routine is worthy of remember or not. If the routine has a strong cue and reward the routine becomes a habit.

So if that was hard to follow Let me paint a real word example of this. Let’s say you have a meeting every day around 10am where an alarm goes off on your phone. This is your Cue. After the meeting is over you travel to the break room to buy and eat a cookie. This is your routine, but the reward may not necisarily be obvious at first. The reward is something that the routine accomplishes. Maybe the cookie satisfies your hunger, maybe it satisfies being low on energy, or gives you an opportunity to talk to a friend.

This habit starts out as a conscious and deliberate activity, but overtime the process becomes more and more automatic largely for the sake of energy efficiency, The author of the power of habit says that The cue and reward become intertwined until a powerful sense of anticipation and craving emerges. In the case of the 10am meeting the cue of your alarm reminder going off would immediately trigger your craving. No wonder it’s so hard to break bad habits.

Over the years we’ve been told by experts that to break a bad habit we need to fix the routine. people would instruct you to Stop eating that cookie every day, but in fact it’s the cue and the reward in the habit loop that influence the habit itself. If you identify and focus on your cues and rewards you can insert a new routine and eliminate the craving altogether.

Step 1

to eliminate a bad habit is to Identify the cue, routine, and reward. The cue might be fairly obvious if your looking for it but remember it could be be anything from a time of day to a location, to someone around you or maybe even a specific behavioral pattern. The routine will be obvious. Eating the cookie, but the reward might take a little critical thinking. You want to try and determine if eating the cookie satisfying hunger, gives you a pick-me-up from being tired, or something else.


Step 2,

insert a new routine to eliminate the craving altogether. Once you’ve successfully identified the elements of your habit loop you can insert a new routine to eliminate the craving altogether. If you identified your reward as satisfying hunger, you could simply bring a banana to work and over time the new positive habit will emerge.

So how long does it take to create a new habit?

Some studies point to 21 days, some say 66 days and other people have said longer. I think it’s probably safe to say the evidence isn’t conclusive. Regardless of how long it takes your chance of success for eliminating bad habits will be drastically improved if you follow this two step process.

I'll also show you two ways to keep a bad habit from coming back near the end of the video.

I hope this information helps!

We're taught that we should apply online for jobs that look like a good fit, but research shows that each job get's between 100-200+ applicants making it really hard to stand out from the crowd. So what can we do?

I went through some serious struggles looking for a job a few years ago. I applied to over 100 jobs and got ZERO calls. I spent a few months working out a different strategy, a strategy that flooded me with interviews and offers.

It's a method of uncovering the 80% of jobs that aren’t even listed and the best part is…..You may not even need to compete with anyone!


I hope this video can help anyone out there struggling to find a job.

The phrase follow your passion has been woven into so many college commencement speaches and although it's inspiring, Mike Rowe points out that it could be a trap. Some young adults hone in one one passion and then try to find the perfect job to match that passion out of the gate without having an open mind. They set these huge expectations about how their career should be and become dissapointed when they start to struggle. If you do this and you set these types of expectations, the minute you struggle or face adversity your gonna think to yourself this can’t possibly be my passion because I should love what im passionate about...... and this is a big trap as Mike Rowe points out.

https://creative.adobe.com/creative-cloud]]>416cleanfullJohn MartyWe’re told all the time to follow our passion, but should we really? Mike Rowe from the hit TV show Dirty Jobs says that following your passion is a bad idea. In this video I’ll reveal research from Harvard that back’s up Mike Rowe’s claims, and I’ll discuss the two origins of passion as well as provide a slightly different way of looking at following passion. The phrase follow your passion has been woven into so many college commencement speaches and although it's inspiring, Mike Rowe points out that it could be a trap. Some young adults hone in one one passion and then try to find the perfect job to match that passion out of the gate without having an open mind. They set these huge expectations about how their career should be and become dissapointed when they start to struggle. If you do this and you set these types of expectations, the minute you struggle or face adversity your gonna think to yourself this can’t possibly be my passion because I should love what im passionate about...... and this is a big trap as Mike Rowe points out.

According to a Princeton University study in 2006 it only takes 1/10th of a second to make a snap judgement of someone’s trustworthiness and attractiveness based on facial appearance alone. It's crazy to think how quickly people make first impressions of us!

What I found most fascinating about doing research on the topic of making a great first impression was that it's actually hard for people to make snap judgements on Competence. Humans only tend to care about trustworthiness at first to quickly determine friend or foe. This is likely a built in survival mechanism.

I think one of the key takeaways of this video if your trying to make a first impression for a job interview is to not worry so much about showing off your skills. What really matters is creating an emotional connection thought small talk where both parties have common ground.

Interestingly, when I went to software development school our teachers kept telling us that the people who got great jobs weren't the ones that had the most skill....they were the ones that you could envision sharing a beer with. Looks like the research confirms this! Skills can be taught, but the emotional connection is the primary concern.

I’ll use a simple example of my recent car buying process to highlight two main points around the concept of "believing is seeing"

The first is that our brains create stereotypes for everything around us based on our beliefs, our values, and our pre-wired survival mechanisms. These stereotypes have enormous power over our lives and they can be largely subconscious.

The second is that as soon as we associate value to something it we tend to see it everywhere, but before we associate value to something it’s almost impossible to see.

Lastly, I’ll present an experiment to illustrate that our eyes have an enormous blind spot, but we don’t notice it because our brains fill in the missing information with your surroundings.

I hope that after watching this video you’ll understand that you have the power to shape your reality – “Believing is seeing”

what reality are you creating for yourself?


seeing is not believing.....BELIEVING IS SEEING.

Do you really know yourself?

Were encouraged by our friends and family and even celebrities to “just be ourselves” people tend to say it in this effortless way like…its so easy just do it, but it’s a lot harder for most of us to actually do than it seems. we’re controlled by our subconscious, by our survival mechanisms, the constant reminders of societies values(money), and the fact that we adapt our true selves to different situations

In western society self awareness is defined as the conscious knowledge of ones own character, feelings, motives and desires. And the key word here that I want to focus on is conscious…right….its the conscious knowledge,but, If you’ve read any books on brain science you’ll quickly realize that as much as 90-95%
of our brains are beyond our conscious control.

So how can we be encouraged to increase self awareness if we don’t know the vast mechanisms behind the scenes that control the show. You know these mechanisms im talking about…There’s this tug…this inner voice that often conflicts with many decisions we want to make.We try to do something new or challenging outside our comfort zone… something we might be passionate about
and then the feelings of self doubt and negativity flood in.

So im gonna provide you a little homework….3 questions at the end of the video to break through this confusion and start you on the path to self awareness

So many of us are consumed by all the things that don’t really matter in life and it’s typically only through tragedy or facing adversity that you recognize what’s most important in this life.

Life is precious. What are you doing today to make time for the things that truly matter? A couple years ago, I was Fredrick. Living in the future and for the future. I was consumed with being financially successful and didnt recognize what mattered most and what was right in front of me.

This story is from the book The Art of Power by Thich Nhat Hanh . (I have included the Amazon link to the book below).

In this video I'll share a true story about Fredrick; a man who was so caught up in his work and embodying the financial success of the American Dream that he failed to recognize what was most important. Fredrick often told his wife that he'd retire in a few years and THEN he'd have plenty of time to spend with his family. Unfortunately Fredrick never got the chance to retire. At 51 he was killed in a car accident.

I’ve been doing a lot of research on the topic of happiness and how to be happy over the past two years. The art of mindfully breathing explained by Thich Nhat Hanh in his book "You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment" is profoundly simple, but extremely effective to understanding that happiness starts from within.

I hope this simple trick gives you an understanding of how to be happy today!

I’ve been doing a lot of research on the topic of happiness and how to be happy over the past two years. The art of mindfully breathing explained by Thich Nhat Hanh in his book "You Are Here: Discovering the Magic of the Present Moment" is profoundly simple, but extremely effective to understanding that happiness starts from within.

I hope this simple trick gives you an understanding of how to be happy today!

Stanford Psychologist Carol Dweck has been studying the difference between the fixed vs growth mindset for almost 40 years. She's uncovered that the view someone holds for themselves (fixed vs growth mindset) has the ability to profoundly effect the way that a person leads their life. This simple concept shapes everything from how well you do in school, to the relationships you foster and even your physical and emotional health.

So what type of mindset do you have? If your not sure take this simple test below:

In this video we’ll answer the question; What is happiness? I’ll provide an example of how Michael Phelps embodies the happiness definition as defined by ancient philosophers and how it differs greatly from western society’s view of happiness. We’ll explore how the pursuit of pleasure as opposed to purpose leads to depression and we’ll tie it all into the happiness definition from the founder of positive psychology, Martin Seligman.

Video Summary:
In my personal journey of self development I stumbled on the concept that happiness is not a destination.

I recently reconnected with a buddy of mine who works in the investment banking industry. He told me how hard he's been working over the past 7 years to get where he is today. He then mentioned something I will never forget. He said that he was recently put into a role to watch over young associates to make sure none of them overworked themselves to a point of committing suicide.

This video begins to question why so many of us are willing to sacrifice our health and well being for society's version of success and happiness. I then present a theory of the Hedonic treadmill to backup why I believe the chasing happiness as a destination is a zero sum game.

I firmly believe that gaining a deep understanding of this seemingly simple concept will completely change your life.

So after watching this video do you still think that happiness is a destination?
