Blessed to see another year! Starting my Giannis Antetokounmpo year. 🇬🇷 I miss one of my favorites in the playoffs! Like Giannis, relationship with Failure is critical. Failures are essential to a successful life. Just because you “fail” Doesn’t make you a “failure.” You can’t dwell on them. You need to be able to measure your growth. Larry Bird year was one of my biggest years of growth. 🍀 Growth Areas: • As a Christian • As a Husband • As a Father • As an Investor (Myself & Finances) • Health & Nutrition Became more firm in my values & Put myself around more of the right people. Growth doesn’t come without the HARD. Also, one of my most challenging years. Challenges over the past year: —-> Mental Health —-> Father of 3 under 4 —-> Career & Opportunities Here’s to doing harder things. Without being harder on myself! 🥂

I get to work with some very talented people on my team here on DC Universe Online, several of whom worked for years at Cryptic Studios on Star Trek Online. So naturally, we have a lot of great quotes to pull from both franchises. This morning, one of those quotes came up again and reminded me of how many people are agonizing over rejection emails they're getting right now. Having just interviewed several fantastic people for a role I opened here, I know nearly all of them are about to get a rejection email from us. I want you all to know something: it's not because you necessarily did ANYTHING wrong. You could have done everything right, but still lost out. Your qualifications and references were enough to get you on a call with a hiring manager like me in the first place. You got to speak with members of my team and while not all of the feedback may have been perfect, I assure you that no one we hire ever gets by unscathed, either. So yeah, as Patrick Stewart reminds us in his role as Captain Jean Luc Picard, “It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.” Don't get caught up in what you could have done differently. Don't agonize over minute details, inflections in your voice, if your facial expression wasn't genuine enough, if your answer was too rambly - you may not have made any mistakes at all, honestly. Someone else just matched the specific team fit slightly better, or had slightly better experience in a slightly different area, or scored in some other category just slightly better. It's possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. Get up, brush yourself off and as we're told... Leave your hesitation and your self-doubt behind. You've got more calls to prep for and one of these days, it's going to be you who ends up scoring just ever so slightly better in a category or two. And here's the real secret - you'll invariably make mistakes on the interview you finally nail, anyway. #gameindustry #getbusyliving #youvegotthis #opentowork #hiring #boldlygo

The "red car 🚗 theory" teaches us a valuable lesson about opportunities and success. Just like how we may not notice the number of red cars on our daily commute, we may miss out on opportunities in life if we're not actively looking for them. 🤔 It's important to be aware of our surroundings and keep an eye out for potential opportunities. By setting goals and digging deeper into our lives, we can increase our chances of success. 🎯 So next time you're on the lookout 👀 for red cars, remember to also keep an eye out for opportunities in your life! Who knows what you might find. 🚘💰 #RedCarTheory #Opportunities #Success

Ever notice how many red cars you see when you're on the way to work? 🚗💯  Probably not. Opportunities work the same way! If you're not actively looking and aware, they’ll pass you right by.  Stay aware and ready to seize every chance that comes your way. What opportunities are you looking out for today?

There are close to 2000 Product Managers in my network Around 650 of them will see this post  About 120 of them are likely to watch this video Usually I’d filter all the way down to the 1 at the end of the funnel. But I am interested in the 521 who wont click play. Why not? Because at Gearset we’re curious, we ask questions, we listen and we dig deeper. If this resonates with you then come and ask us some questions too. Meg Lawlor would love to answer any questions you have about the Senior Product Manager Vacancy, but in the mean time this video can tell you a bit about life at Gearset.    If you picked up on my math being wrong, the 9 people not accounted for make up part of the Product team at Gearset. What questions do you have for them?

Ever heard about the Red Car Theory 🚗? If I asked you, exactly how many red cars you saw today, you might not know. But if I told you that you'd be paid for every red car you spot, you’d suddenly start looking for red cars everywhere. The case is the same for opportunities around you. Every day many of us miss out on tons of opportunities because we aren’t actively looking for them. By focusing on your goals, you’ll start to see opportunities that were always there but we're going unnoticed. It’s all about shifting your attention to where it matters most. Stay focused and more active, and you might find that the opportunities you’re seeking are closer than you think. #CareerOpportunities #Focus #ProfessionalGrowth

Can't believe it's been 5 years already. The years are FLYING. I still remember being petrified leaving everything and everyone I knew at my prior company. Five years with multiple titles, roles, and a major life-changing move. One thing I've learned is "Always bet on yourself", change is always scary but you don't know your capacity unless you are constantly expanding it by being uncomfortable with new challenges. I can confidently say, "There is never a dull moment" with the amount of growth we have had these past 5 years. #Vnation #growth #future #betonYOU Ron Gover Scott Tollett Rich Balot Lesli Gilbert.
