I'm a big fan of the Unemployment Law Project. I've nudged several clients to ask for their services in the past. They do great work helping folks receive unemployment benefits after an initial denial. And they're having a fundraiser today!

In my latest episode of "Career Coaching After Hours," I dive into linguistics again. Our wonderful mongrel, the English language, flexes and ripples as we engineer new phraseology to survive these times.

Is the job market cratering? In an age of job hugging, quiet cracking, AI psychosis, coffee badging, and Lafufus, what are we to make of all the data floating around about jobs and the economy?

Over the years, I've nudged many folks to build a Board.
However, in an age of AI hallucinations, AI slop, and AI psychosisdoes AI belong on one's Board? I tried to dive into these issues in the latest episode of my YouTube series.

I've found additional sources that shed heat and light on the future of accurate jobs data flowing from the federal government and the ripples-in-the-pond effect of the shakeups at the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Is the Job Market a Horse?

There's an old adage suggesting that when multiple folks tell you that you're a horse...you're probably a horse. In my latest article, I dive into the wild times we find ourselves in.

My (Harebrained) Plan to Save Starbucks

Recently, Starbucks rolled out an idea to shift corporate employees back to corporate four days per week. Maybe SBUX employees should have an option to work one of those days at their local Starbucks?

I might have just found the best "LinkedIn Learning" certificate to date.

I believe leaders in both the private and public sectors would find this valuable. The cert is no joke: nearly five hours of content across six instructors.

Despite payrolls increasing by 139,000 in May, it appears that trepidation persists in the job market...especially in tech and among new graduates. Headlines about AI, layoffs, and tariffs abound. What if we dig deeper?
