if you want more out of your career, READ this:

the old path was linear: school → job → savings → retirement.

the new path is convergent: skills + assets + audience → optionality.

we keep applying industrial-age career advice to an AI-powered economy, and it's causing millions to live unhappy professional lives.

i think the most valuable people today they're the convergence players building three things simultaneously:

1/ skills: vibe coding, vibe marketing etc. UNDERSTAND THE TOOLS (replit, v0, chatgpt etc) like a wizard. not just content creation, but AI-human collaboration. not just management, but community orchestration.

2/ assets: digital products, content libraries, data moats, and micro-SaaS tools that generate income while you sleep and appreciate over time.

3/ audience: direct relationships with people who trust you, bypassing platforms, institutions, and algorithms.

the magic happens at the intersection. your audience adopts your assets. your assets showcase your skills. your skills attract your audience.

this is why the designer with 50,000 X followers can launch a $500K product with a single tweet while the better designer sends out desperate job applications.

this is why the developer with 3 tiny SaaS products making $2K/month each has more leverage than the senior engineer earning$250K at google.

this is why the writer building an email list while ghostwriting for executives has more security than the career journalist.

the system isn't designed to teach this approach.

universities, HR departments, and even venture capital still operate on linear achievement metrics.

they want to know where you went to school, where you worked, or how fast you're growing in a single dimension.

BUT THIS IS WHAT FIRES ME UP

the opportunity has never been greater for those who see it.

the tools to build skills, create assets, and grow an audience are more accessible than at any point in history.

The future is bright.
