The moment my career and life changed was the moment I was able to sit back and realize I had been so concentrated on the big moments, the mountain tops, and the massive mile markers In my career and in my life, that I hadn't paid any attention to the ripples and the waves I had made getting those in place. It finally hit that the accomplishments were fleeting, no matter how long it took to get there or build them. What truly mattered was what I had left in my wake, the footsteps I was able to carve for someone to come after me, the far reaching ripples impacting others that continued to spread out further and further even long after my moment was gone. I started Strategy to be the company that didn't exist when I needed it, it never occurred to me that someone else might need it to. Take a moment this week and stop, look around and see where the ripples of your work, your life, and your actions have reached.... you just might be surprised.

You’re Not Broken. The System Is. You spent years doing everything right. Degree. Resume. 9-5. Squeezing your ambition into job descriptions someone else wrote. And where did it leave you? 👉 Laid off. 👉 Underpaid. 👉 Overqualified for jobs you don’t even want anymore. 👉 Building someone else’s dream while yours sits on the shelf collecting dust. It’s not your fault. But it is your responsibility now. Welcome to Strategy 22 (AKA what LinkedIn could've and should’ve been.) This isn’t another “networking group.” This is a get-your-life-back ecosystem for professionals who are done trading their time, talent, and potential for a paycheck and a pat on the head. It’s for the misfits who played the corporate game and saw behind the curtain. It's where you go when you’re ready to build a business that pays you what you're worth—not someday, but with systems you can use today. This Community Is: Educational – Learn the fundamentals of building and running a real business (not just another 7-step course funnel). Tactical – Templates. Tools. Strategy. No fluff. Just what works. Supportive – Got questions? Get answers. Stuck? We’ve got you. Promotional – Network. Collaborate. Promote what you’re building without shame. Accountable – You’ll find people who’ll actually hold you to your goals. Quiet – No spammy DMs. No “free webinar” disguised as a pitch. Just clean, clear information to help you build. What You Won’t Find Here: ❌ Endless drip email sequences. ❌ “Coaches” trying to upsell you every time you breathe. ❌ Hustle-porn. ❌ The same recycled advice you’ve seen on 100 LinkedIn carousels. We don’t sell hype. We build real businesses. The kind that earn. Grow. Last. What You Will Find: ✅ A safe place to ask “dumb” questions (there’s no such thing here). ✅ Simple playbooks for starting, growing, and managing your business. ✅ Exposure to AI and tech you can actually use—without needing to be a coder. ✅ A choose-your-own-adventure library of resources and coaching.

For those that are starting to put the pieces together, and look ahead to when you have your framework built.... an ode to the beast that drives your business The Algorithm Isn't Your Enemy (It's Just Socially Awkward) Everyone's out here treating "the algorithm" like it's some ancient dragon hoarding engagement points in a digital cave, when really it's just a very literal friend who does exactly what you tell it to do. Plot twist: The secret sauce isn't secret at all. It's literally just... being human on the internet. The Universal "Algorithm" (AKA Basic Human Decency) Step 1: Share what you're actually doing and thinking Not what you think people want to hear. Not what some guru said would "hack" the system. Just... your actual thoughts. Revolutionary, I know. Step 2: Respond to people who engage with you Shocking concept: when someone talks to you, talk back. The algorithm doesn't care if you're too cool to reply to comments. But humans do. Step 3: Engage with others Leave comments that aren't just "First!" or fire emojis. Ask questions. Add value. Be the person you'd want to see in your own comments section. Step 4: Repeat until successful That's it. That's the tweet. That's the post. That's the entire marketing strategy. Turns out the way to grow on Substack/ Linkedin/ Facebook is the same as all social media up to and including that weird neighborhood app where people argue about leaf blowers. It's almost like being genuine works... everywhere. I know, I know.... But honestly... The algorithm isn't some mystical beast—it's just a popularity calculator that really, really likes it when humans act like humans instead of engagement robots. Who knew?

More and more people are reaching that quiet breaking point, and making bold moves. They're walking away from what drains them, cutting off the noise, and protecting their peace like never before. No need for drama, just a clear decision to stop giving energy to what no longer feels right. You can sense the change. You are the change. Boundaries are becoming non-negotiable. People are no longer explaining themselves to be understood. They're choosing space, choosing stillness, and letting go of the weight they carried for too long. This shift didn't happen overnight - it's been slowly rising. And now it's here, strong and unapologetic. Choosing peace, choosing truth, feels like your choosing the hard path. But you aren’t alone, remember that. And remember in doing the hard things your teaching yourself how to grow. one of the best quotes the water that bouls and softens the potatoes, hardens the egg… it’s not what’s around you. It’s what your made of. do your best
