| 5/5/26 |  Want to Beat the ATS? Stay Out of It | Most job seekers think they need to beat the ATS. Optimize the résumé. Match the keywords. Play the system. That's the wrong goal. You don't beat the ATS. 👉 You stay out of it. Because the applicant trashing system is not designed to hire you. It's designed to filter you out. And when you rely on it, you're putting yourself in a low-probability game. Most people aren't even reviewed. Not rejected. Invisible. What does dear ole' Coach Andy always say… Companies don't hire people. Systems really don't hire people. People hire people. Why do you think while you're doing your best Resume Pez Dispenser imitation with the ATS, companies spend their time hiring through referrals, recruiters, and direct outreach? Even if you're perfect, the system flattens you like a job-candidate pancake. Keywords. Titles. Dates. That's all it sees. Not your judgment. Not your leadership. Not your ability to solve problems. I know applying feels productive. But it's not progress. It's just activity. The people who get hired? They don't sit in the system. They get to the people.

| 4/28/26 |  How to Turn Interview Questions Into Proof You Know the Job | Let's talk about something most candidates completely miss in interviews. 👉 The questions they ask. I'm not talking about whether you ask questions. Most people know they should. I'm talking about how you ask them. Because here's generally what happens… You wait until the end. You ask something safe. Something generic. "Can you tell me about the culture?" "What's the work-life balance like?" [Insert buzzer sound here like the one your Coach Andy makes on Thursdays at Live Office Hours.] And now you don't get another interview let alone an offer. And you think you're doing the right thing. But you're not helping yourself at all. You're actually signaling the exact opposite of what you want. You're signaling that you don't really understand the job. Because strong candidates don't ask questions to gather basic information. They ask questions to show they already understand what matters. 👉 They use questions as proof. [Insert kaboom sound here. 💥] That's the diff. When you do this well, your questions stop sounding like curiosity and start sounding like experience. That's when the interviewer starts thinking This person gets it. That's what I'm breaking down in today's Tuesday Tips lesson. I'll show you how to ask questions that position you as someone who already knows the job, not someone trying to figure it out. 👉 Listen to Ask Interview Questions That Prove You Know the Job!

| 4/21/26 |  26 Costly Career Mistakes That Set You Back Years | Let's talk about something that sets people back. Career mistakes. Not obvious ones. Ones that look like progress. Work hard. Stay loyal. Do a good job. The kind of unnoticeable acts that don't cost you a bad day. They cost you years. Years of time. Income. Momentum you never get back. And it happens because people are pointed in the wrong direction. Not because they aren't capable. That's what we're fixing today. This week's Tuesday Tips is not just a list. It's a full-on hour of how careers actually work. I walk you through 26 of the costliest mistakes across five critical areas: · Career Design, where most people drift instead of choosing a lane. · Career Growth, why people build the wrong skills or don't build them at all. · On-the-Job, how doing "enough" keeps you stuck. · Job Search, where most people completely misplay the game. · Networking, the mistakes that keep opportunities out of reach. And more importantly that pointing out these mistakes, I'll teach you how to fix them so you can stop losing time and start making big-time progress.

| 4/14/26 |  Worried AI Will Take Your Job? Ask This Instead | Let's talk about the thing that's sitting in the back of a lot of people's minds right now… "Is AI going to take my job?" I get it. You're seeing layoffs. You're hearing nonstop noise about automation. But here's the problem… Most people are asking the wrong question. They're thinking about AI like it's coming to take a fixed number of jobs. That's not how this works. Every major wave of technology does two things at the same time: It eliminates certain roles in the short term. And it expands the total number of opportunities over time. The real issue isn't "Will AI take my job?" It's… 👉 Is what you do easily replaceable at the source? Because if it is… yeah, you've got a problem. But if you understand where AI actually can't compete, you're not just safe… You're in a better position than ever. That's what I'm breaking down in today's Tuesday Tips lesson. I'll show you how to think about this the right way and, more importantly, where to focus so you stay valuable no matter what changes.

| 3/31/26 |  My System for Creating Powerful Communication Every Time | There is no faster accelerator in your career than communication. And there is no bigger drag. Think about it. You have skills. Experience. Judgment. Ideas that could help your team, your company, and your customers. But between everything you know and the value you deliver sits one thing: Communication. It's the wrapper around everything you know. It either broadcasts your value or it traps it inside. Most professionals think their communication problem is clarity. It usually isn't. It's process. When someone asks for an update, a proposal, or a recommendation, most people open a blank page and start writing. While they're writing, they're also… figuring out what they want to say. organizing the information. editing the sentences. All at the same time! That's the mistake. Great communication isn't winged. It's constructed. In today's Tuesday Tips lesson, I'm going to show you the exact system I use to create every form of communication I produce. These steps helped me write this newsletter, the talk I'm giving you at Live Office Hours on Thursday, and even my books like Signal Strength. Once you see it, you'll never approach an email, presentation, proposal, or conversation the same way again.

| 3/24/26 |  How to Sell Your Value Instead of Your Skills in Job Interviews | One of the biggest mistakes job seekers make in interviews is trying to sell their skills. They walk through their résumé. They explain what they know. They talk about tools and responsibilities. They assume the employer will connect the dots. But employers are not hiring skills. They are hiring value. Skills are just the ingredients. Value is the outcome. Two candidates can have the same skills. Why does one get the offer and the other doesn't? 💥 Because one person explains what their skills do for the business, while the other only explains what they know how to do. And those are very different conversations. When you focus on skills, you sound like every other candidate. When you focus on value, you sound like the person who can solve the company's problems. (Another 💥 right here.) That shift changes everything. In today's Tuesday Tips lesson, I'll show you how to make that shift so your experience connects the way it should in interviews.

| 3/17/26 |  Why Your Skills Aren't Winning Interviews (and What Actually Does) | Happy St. Patrick's Day. ☘️ If you're counting on luck in your job search, we need to talk. Let me say something that might sting a little. Your skills aren't the reason you're not getting offers. And they're definitely not the reason you'll get one. Most job seekers think interviews are about listing what they know. "I'm certified in…" "I've done Agile…" "I've led teams…" "I implemented…" That's a menu. Employers don't buy menus. They buy outcomes. They buy transformation. They buy the feeling that when you walk in the door, their problem walks out. (Not to break up the speed at which you're reading this, but you can't imagine how long it took me to come up with the previous line you just read. 🤣) Where was I? Right… When you talk about your past like a list of features, they have to work too hard to connect the dots. When you tell a story about a real problem, what was at stake, what you drove, and what changed because of you… They do the connecting for you. Everything becomes a deduction. "If she pulled that off, she can handle this." That's how hiring decisions are made. Not by credentials. Not by platforms. Not by how many buzzwords you can stack into a sentence. In today's Tuesday Tips, I show you how to stop selling skills and start selling impact. Because skills don't win interviews. This does.

| 3/10/26 |  How to Share Your Wins Without Sounding Like You're Bragging | There is at least one moment in a job interview you can count on. Whether it happens literally or figuratively, it's this: "Tell me about your accomplishments." What do many people do when they hear this? They panic. Not because they don't have wins. But because they don't know how to talk about them without feeling awkward, arrogant, or self-promotional. And that's where offers disappear. Whether you're interviewing for a new role or discussing your impact with your current employer, one thing matters more than anything else: Can you clearly explain what you've accomplished and why it mattered? If you can't, the interviewer fills in the blanks for you. And they usually get it wrong. That's why today's lesson is focused on how to share your wins without sounding like you're bragging. This lesson will help you talk about your achievements in a way that sounds confident and credible, not self-important.

| 2/10/26 |  How to Capture Career Wins for Interviews and Promotions | Most professionals don't struggle because they lack experience. They struggle because they can't remember the details that give their accomplishments life. When resumes need updating or interview stories come up, people realize how much context and impact they've lost over time. And memory is a terrible career strategy. That's why today's lesson shows you how to capture your career wins so you can build a stronger résumé, tell better interview stories, and create more job opportunities. Career wins aren't just promotions or big projects. They're problems solved, improvements made, systems built, and results created along the way. If you don't document those wins as they happen, your experience gets watered down. What should sound impressive ends up sounding average. Today, I walk you through a simple system to capture your career wins so your experience leads to more vivid stories, stronger positioning, and better outcomes.

| 2/3/26 |  STOP Falling for Fake Jobs and Recruiter Scams | I hate that I even have to write this. But fake recruiters and fake job postings are everywhere right now. And job seekers are being targeted hard. That's not because you're careless. It's because scammers go after people who are motivated, hopeful, and actively searching. That's you. What makes this worse is how convincing these scams have become. In fact, a couple months ago, one of my clients showed me a recruiter message that fooled me! The company looked real. The LinkedIn profile looked legit. The email sounded professional. It wasn't. That's why this week's lesson is about how to protect yourself. Not with fear. With awareness. In today's video, I walk you through 10 clear warning signs that help you quickly answer one critical question: Is this real…or is it just a scam? You'll learn: What to check first when a recruiter emails or messages you. How fake job postings give themselves away. Why Gmail addresses, rushed language, and vague roles should always make you pause. What legitimate recruiters never ask you for. How to verify a job or recruiter in minutes, not hours. This isn't about becoming paranoid. It's about becoming informed. If you're job searching right now, please don't skip this one. Even smart, experienced professionals are getting caught off guard. And if this helps you, pass it along to someone else who's searching. A simple heads up can save them a lot of stress. Listen to STOP Falling for Fake Jobs and Recruiter Scams now!

| 1/27/26 |  What are Your Salary Expectations? 5 Best Answers from a Former Executive Recruiter | Few interview questions create more damage with fewer words. Not because it's hard. But because people answer it at the worst possible time, with the least possible leverage. Most candidates think this question is about money. It isn't. It's about timing, power, and whether you understand how hiring decisions actually get made. Say a number too early and you either leave money on the table you'll never get back or price yourself out before anyone truly understands your value. And here's the part nobody teaches. There isn't one "right" answer to this question. There's a sequence. A progression of responses that protects your leverage, keeps the process moving, and positions you to negotiate when your stock is highest, not lowest. In this week's lesson, I break down: Why giving a number early almost always works against you. What recruiters are really trying to confirm when they ask. And the exact recruiter-proof responses I use to control this conversation without sounding evasive or combative. If you've ever felt pressure to answer this question quickly, or worried that one wrong sentence could cost you thousands, this lesson will change how you approach salary conversations forever.

| 1/20/26 |  This is How You Determine Which Skills to Build | Does it feel like you're not growing in your career? Perhaps not learning much? Or building new skills? Or not sure which skills to even build? Maybe you're noticing other people passing you by. You're thinking, Why does she get the promotion? I'm just as good. If any of those questions are tugging at you, you're in luck, because I've got a lesson today wrapped in a little story with a big punch that'll shed some light on the answers. But first, one more question. Do you think pulling together and delivering a status report is boring? If you answered yes, drop what you're doing and give me four minutes. Because you won't believe what I think of them, and how the secret to knowing which skills to build is sitting right under your nose every single week when you prepare this "simple" deliverable, or any of your deliverables!

| 1/13/26 |  The Pre-Interview Ritual That Helps You Perform at Your Best | If you're rehearsing your stories five minutes before an interview, you're cooked. I'm not saying that to be dramatic. I'm saying it because it's true. Right before an interview is not the time to cram, memorize examples, or mentally sprint through your résumé. This will just get you tense, not to mention self-focused (🤔, hmmm, what's he mean here?). Interviewers can feel your tension. It becomes palpable. The best performers do something different before any conversation. They run through a pre-interview ritual that puts them in the right state of mind. Not a routine. That's too mechanical and mindless. A ritual. That's a performance enhancer. It's something intentional that interrupts fear, quiets the noise, and shifts their focus away from themselves and onto the people they're about to meet. Thanks to a great question from Shantel, that's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson. You'll learn why interviews are won or lost before the first question is asked, how to reframe every interview as a guaranteed win regardless of the outcome, and the simple mental ritual that helps you show up relaxed, confident, and ready to deliver value. Interviews don't reward the most prepared candidate. They reward the candidate who shows up in the strongest state. Listen to The Pre-Interview Ritual That Helps You Perform at Your Best!

| 1/6/26 |  Job Searching in January 2026: What to Know and What to Do | January is one of the busiest and most misunderstood periods of the hiring year. Behind the scenes, companies are launching new initiatives, trying to staff teams faster than most job candidates realize, and, unfortunately for them, replacing unexpected employee departures. Recruiters are active. Hiring managers are under pressure. Roles are opening that weren't planned just days earlier. Today, I'm covering why January creates both urgency and opportunity for job seekers and how to work the right activities that'll give you a leg up on getting hired.

| 12/14/25 |  The Real Reason You Don't Have What You Want | Let me ask you something honest. Have you ever looked at your effort and thought, "There's no way I should still be here?" You show up. You work hard. You try to do the right things. Yet your career, your goals, or whatever you want still feel out of reach. I've coached thousands of people through this exact frustration. The problem is almost never effort. Most people work plenty hard. That isn't what keeps them stuck. It's something else. In this lesson, I'm sharing a personal story from 2019. It starts with me sitting in my favorite chair, coffee in one hand, my dog Harley 🌈 🐾 next to me, and a strange idea about doing an Ironman race even though I couldn't swim a single lap in a pool without wanting to faint. (I signed up for the race and swimming lessons on the same day!) That moment taught me one of the most important lessons of my life. It's a lesson I want you to hear today. Inside you get: ✓ Why hard work stops being enough. ✓ Why your progress stalls even when you want it badly. ✓ What separates people who grow from people who stay stuck. ✓ How to start living your goals before you reach them.

| 12/2/25 |  How to Use Your Job Search to Make You a Better Professional | Job searching can be brutal. It tests your patience, your confidence, and your resolve. But if you shift your focus from results to wisdom, everything changes. That's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson, how to use your job search to make you a better professional. In the podcast, I share a personal story about recently finishing my new book. It's now off and running with the publisher, moving through the production process. The moment I hit send, I sat in my favorite Pottery Barn Wells swivel chair and thought for 20 minutes about nothing but the "agony" I'm going to endure over the next 12 months. Kidding aside, I genuinely did this. I didn't think about how many copies I might sell or what it'd take to make a bestseller list. I focused on something more important, the skills I need to strengthen over the next year as I market and launch this new book. You might think that because this is my fifth time around, I'd have mastered it by now. But if you assumed that, you'd be completely wrong. Yes, I've done a lot right and built some great skills when it comes to marketing a book. But many efforts have fallen short of my hopes. Some were dead ends. Others just confused the heck out of me. Which means only one thing, I need to try new things, keep learning, and keep building. Does this sound like your job search? The things you think will work don't. The things you don't expect to work do. It's effort, surprises, ups, and downs. That's just life in a nutshell. And what I'm about to say might sound like common sense. But I'm guessing it'll only sound like common sense after I actually say it. If you're going to go through a job search, why not gain the benefits of the experience? If we agree those benefits come in the form of new experiences and better skills, then it's time to ask yourself... 👉 What skills do you want to build throughout your job search?

| 11/18/25 |  The Best Way to Prepare and Answer Behavioral Interview Questions | Most job seekers prepare for interviews the wrong way. They start by memorizing answers to questions like "Tell me about a time you disagreed with your boss" or "Describe a challenge you overcame." But that's backwards. Those questions aren't about your disagreement skills or your ability to solve one random problem. They're about whether you can transform the company—their team, their performance, their results. The secret to winning behavioral interviews isn't about rehearsing lines. It's about building stories that sell what they actually buy: your ability to help them achieve their goals. That's what this week's lesson is all about. We're crushing how to prepare for and answer behavioral questions using the most powerful approach I've ever taught!

| 11/11/25 |  How to Give a Job Interview Presentation (That Gets You Hired) | Most candidates talk about what they can do. The best ones show it. When an employer asks for a presentation, it's not a test of PowerPoint skills. It's a test of whether you understand what they actually buy: transformation, not tasks. Your goal isn't to list skills or repeat your resume. It's to prove you can help them hit their goals and do it through a well-structured story. This week's lesson shows you how to prepare a presentation that persuades and sells your value. You'll learn how to: Identify what the employer truly wants to achieve. Uncover the real problems standing in their way. Choose powerful examples that prove you can solve those problems. Structure your presentation so it flows naturally and ends with impact. Highlight your skills as evidence, not filler. Inside, I'll even show you how to use a single summary slide that ties everything together and seals the deal.

| 11/4/25 |  How to Start Every Job Interview Answer the Right Way | Interviewers don't wait until you finish your story to decide if they like you. They decide while you're still taking your first breath. In those first 15 seconds, they're asking, "Do I trust this person? Do they get what matters here?" Most candidates waste that window listing tasks or backstory. The best ones win it by showing they understand the real business problem and hinting at the result they delivered. That's what I'm teaching in this week's lesson. You'll learn how to open with context that earns respect, why the STAR method fails, and the exact 15-second framework that makes your answers sound confident, strategic, and memorable. Listen now!

| 10/21/25 |  How to Beat Perfectionism and Finally Move Forward | Perfectionism is the great career stall. Most people don't slow down because they're lazy. They slow down because they want everything just right before they move. Job seekers spend months polishing résumés, cover letters, and LinkedIn profiles before they ever start actually searching. Professionals over-edit reports and presentations until the opportunity passes. They all have the same problem…waiting until it's perfect before they ship. But progress doesn't come from polishing. It comes from acting. This week's lesson is all about breaking free from perfectionism so you can finally make real progress. I share how I overcame a decade of "consultant conditioning" that taught me perfection was everything and how learning to act fast and iterate changed my entire career. If you've ever felt stuck trying to make something flawless, this one's for you.

| 10/14/25 |  4 Steps to Manage People Better | Most managers don't actually manage people. They manage tasks. They tell. They correct. They rarely coach. That's the difference between a boss people tolerate and a leader people trust. When you learn how to coach and mentor someone, everything changes. You build loyalty and develop people who think for themselves. This week's lesson shares a simple four-step framework to help you manage people more effectively through better communication and growth. If you lead a team, you'll recognize yourself in this one. If you've ever felt frustrated trying to motivate someone who just isn't getting it, this will show you why. It's not about pushing harder. It's about coaching smarter. At first, you'll wonder why you haven't been doing these steps all along. Then, you can take action, or even manage upward, to start maximizing your team's enjoyment and performance!

| 10/8/25 |  Why Now is the Best Time of Year to Job Search 2025-2026 | Last week, we spent five full days together building and fine-tuning your résumé. You now have a marketing document that's designed to get you noticed. But here's the #1 mistake most job seekers make right now… they slow down. They assume the holidays are dead time. They think no one's hiring until January. They coast into the new year. That couldn't be further from the truth. November through February is THE BEST time of year to land a new role. Companies evaluate their budgets. They make sure to spend the current year's budget so they don't lose it. They prepare next year's budgets and identify the resources. Then, they hurry to start recruiting because people aren't teleported on January 2. They panic because employees who didn't get the promotions or raises leave. And then they have more seats to fill. All these employee mobility spikes mean opportunities for you. But only if you're in the game! If you step off the gas now, you're handing those jobs to someone else. That's what I cover in today's podcast… If you'd like to build a great career and lead a rewarding life, check out some of these other places where I share my teachings: 1.

| 9/21/25 |  The Wisdom That Changed My Life: 11 Must-Read Books | Last month I celebrated my 59th. It had me reflecting on the biggest influences that rerouted my path, especially the books that shaped my mindset, my career, my health, and even my view of the universe. These aren't just books I enjoyed. They are turning points that literally changed how I live. Some helped me become a better teacher, others taught me discipline and financial independence, and a few opened up my sense of purpose. Here's the list in the same order I cover them, with a personal note on why each mattered to me. Mindset, Self-Discovery Don't Sweat the Small Stuff, Richard Carlson I stumbled into this book in 1997 after literally knocking over a stack of them in Barnes & Noble. It sparked my lifelong love of self-help. Its short chapters and practical reminders taught me to let go of stress and focus on what actually matters, which helped me lead my teams (and my life) with a clearer head. You'll See It When You Believe It, Wayne Dyer This is the book I've re-read more than any other, sometimes daily for weeks at a time. Dyer's lessons on manifestation and the "seven attachments" helped me release ego, control, and the need to be right, which created more peace and focus in every area of my life. Stumbling on Happiness, Daniel Gilbert Gilbert proves we're never as happy or as sad as we think we'll be, because we can't fully predict our future selves. This freed me from chasing perfection and helped me embrace the journey, knowing joy comes more from growth than from reaching the finish line. Storytelling, Career Transformation Made to Stick, Chip and Dan Heath A dearly-departed friend gifted me this book in December 2007, and it completely changed how I thought about communication. Its framework for making ideas memorable became the foundation of my Interview Intervention methodology, and eventually the blueprint for the storytelling systems I still teach today. Interview Intervention, Yours Truly I wrote this book in just five weeks at the end of 2011, and it completely transformed my career. For the first time, I captured years of coaching into a system anyone could use, and that was the first official step that turned me from recruiter to teacher to author. Choice, Goals, Perspective This Is Water, David Foster Wallace This slim book, adapted from a 2005 commencement speech, is one of the most powerful I've read. Wallace's simple but profound message, that you can choose what to think about, has reshaped how I approach daily life, teaching me to stay present and compassionate in the middle of life's noise. It also served at the stimulation for the next book on this list. Out of Reach But in Sight, Me Again Born from a keynote I gave to scholarship students, I turned the speech into a book. Capturing timeless lessons on setting and pursuing goals, it later evolved into my Goal Setting Masterclass and proved how small steps can inspire big transformations. Wealth, Health The Millionaire Next Door, Thomas Stanley and William Danko At 30, this book confirmed that wealth is built through discipline, not high income. It cemented my lifelong approach of living below my means, investing early, and building habits that would later help me achieve financial independence and peace of mind. Good Energy, Casey Means Of the 70+ health books I've read, this one had the most immediate impact on my life. Understanding metabolic health and cutting refined sugars, refined grains, and seed oils gave me more energy, clarity, and resilience than I thought possible. I've felt sharper and healthier ever since. My Life's Work, Beyond The Zebra Code, The New Me This is my most ambitious book, and easily the toughest project I've ever taken on. It demanded every ounce of experience, discipline, and creativity I had, but it also gave me the chance to share the full methodology I believe can help any professional thrive. Journey of Souls, Michael Newton This book opened my mind to ideas about past and future lives, whether you take them literally or not. It gave me a new lens for thinking about purpose, why I might be wired the way I am, and how being open to bigger questions can deepen the way you live today. These aren't just books on a shelf. They're turning points in my story. Please add any of these to your own shelf that speak to you. Maybe they can be turning points in your story too!
