Your Degree ≠ Your Destiny

Hiya 👋

The AI boom has everyone convinced that half of today’s jobs will disappear. And if you don’t have the perfect clear-cut degree or experience, the future might seem even more uncertain.

But here’s the truth: no one starts as a CTO. No one starts as a founder, a marketing lead, or a partner at a law firm either! Every promotion, every career change, every pivot is a leap into something new. No one teaches you how to move from one stage to the next, you figure it out by being delusional and convincing yourself that you can do it.

So why box yourself in? Your degree is a starting point, not a boundary. If you understand your skills and trust your capacity to learn, you can take bigger leaps than you think ✨

The future belongs to those who are willing to jump. Are you?

🦊 What’s New from Hei Dingo
The magic starts soon ✨ 

Like I mentioned last week, we are SO ready. At least mentally, the platform is not yet ready. The insights are not yet insightin 👀

So many of you have already joined the beta, but we still need to amp up the numbers. If you want an exclusive (AND FREE!) first look at the newest platform designed to supercharge your career growth, this is your chance.

We are accepting more beta testers! No special skills or experience needed. As long as you have looked for a job at some point in your life, you’re good to go. All we ask is that you test things out and fill in a few quick surveys to help us make it even better.

We have pushed the beta kick-off to March 17, so if you’re in, sign up through the form and we’ll be in touch soon. Already joined? Know someone who could use an extra umph in their job search? Send them our way. We’d love to have them in on the fun 👀

🎧 Podcast: The Telepathy Tapes

If you’re looking at the charts, you might have seen this podcast climb up the ranks in the past month. I bought into the hype, and while I’ll forever be a skeptic, it did not disappoint.

This “documentary” dives into the life of non-verbal kids, and explores the possibility that they might be able to communicate telepathically, mind read, and have the ability to tap into all kinds of knowledge.

It sounds a bit kooky, and it definitely sounds far fetched, but it’s a fascinating and entertaining listen.
