We live in a world infested with “experts.”

It’s now easier than ever to copy and paste a thought leader and fake out the masses. This newsletter is sponsored by OpenAI.

You must question the credibility of your influencers and the content you consume, or you will forever be slogged by omnipotent mediocrity.

Taking financial advice from those without money or entrepreneurial direction from those who’ve never ventured beyond a W2 is asinine.

Such is your executive career.

  • Don’t take leadership advice from followers.
  • Don’t take job search advice from the unemployed.
  • Don’t fall for coaches who only “consult” because they’re washed up and can’t find a job.

Find operators and champions from those with proven success.

Let the clowns abuse AI to fool those who don’t prod under the surface.

Be the one who asks the hard questions and only supports those influencers who can spar with you and challenge you to improve.

It’s time to cull the herd and eliminate all the noise that doesn’t support your aspirations.

Stay fearless, friends. 

See you next week.
