I hear you, I was a the same boat a few months ago. Start by building skills that give you leverage: tech support, project coordination, sales ops, something in demand. LinkedIn Learning and Coursera have solid free intros. Avoid anything that feels scammy or vague. Do you want remote flexibility, hands-on work, or growth into leadership? That’ll shape the path.

I feel you I’ve been there too. That’s why I got into forex trading. It taught me how to control my time and money without falling for underpaid jobs. If you're ready to invest in yourself, I can guide you with real strategies no hype, no pressure. Let’s build something that actually pays you what you're worth.

Friends, need some feedback on an idea:

I’m thinking of starting a podcast interviewing leaders at startups about their experience with specific challenges - I know, cliche, get a more original hobby, etc.

Not looking for the narrative arc of How I Built This or Masters of Scale. Instead, looking to uncover specific problems faced by companies that tried something new for the first time. What did they not see coming, how did they adapt and measure, etc.

What are your thoughts on this format?
