Lol. A high jumper. A plane

😂

I love the idea of “honing your craft”. Your “Ikigai” as the Japanese so aptly put it

However it can be hard to figure out what that is. Lots of trial & error is really key to that process

If I had to say today: I want to double down on podcasting

I want to host a world class show

It’s something I love, learning from others, & helping people tell their amazing stories. The ups. The downs. The unexpected twists.

What’s your “craft?”

Happy Friday all

Feeling blessed

🙏🏻

On point

Especially as there’s a spiritual angle to the whole thing

Like it or not. It wakes something up inside you!

I really like the idea of building an alternate reality that is accessible, actually works, & offers a better future, or what we’re doing with Bitcoin

Slowly but surely people transfer across from old to new

Won’t happen overnight. Wont happen with a big bang.

Truth is: even asking the questions you’re posing is unthinkable to the 99%

We have a long way to go!

If the hurdle rate is 50%, what can you buy?

Good to see you on Nostr 👏👏👏. Just found your profile

Don’t forget: they like to chuck in employment as part of the Keynesian mess, as a bait, to think that by supporting the system we can get rich…

Replying to Avatar HoloKat

Resumes over nostr

Problem: Employers want the best candidates, but get an overwhelming number of unqualified or underqualified applicants.

Candidate: wants the best possible job with the best possible company (think reputation), but is probably already employed because they are in high demand.

Employers never see the best possible candidate, and the best possible candidate does not apply because that process is stressful.

Solution: Resumes over nostr

How it works:

1. Anyone can create a nostr-native resume (new NIP).

2. This resume benefits from the Web of Trust score of the creator. Employers get a glimpse of whether this is someone who is in some way connected to people they know or follow (referrals are generally better than cold applicants).

3. Individual gets to put themselves out into the market without applying (think LinkedIn). Employers then search a pool of candidates based on their criteria. This could include a WoT score, shared working connections (new NIP could support this), skills criteria, etc… Let’s say I know Kieran and trust his judgement, and would like to know all the people he is connected to (maybe also dedicated some specific level of trust), who happen to have public resumes. I could then search for semi-vetted candidates.

4. Companies can send offers to candidates who may not even be available yet, but are possibly open to new opportunities with the right company, for the right compensation amount.

5. Companies also have profiles that benefit from their own WoT. (the more people follow them, the more likely they are to have a better reputation).

6. Public resumes keep candidates honest about their work history, education etc.. because anyone can verify that

Thoughts?

Talent matching is a huge problem. Just look at the fees spent on recruiters and headhunters. So it’s a massive market, which is a great start

Equally, & as you point out, a warm intro from someone you trust is arguably a 10x on a cold application. “Oh, Karnage, you worked with this person for a year, I like the look of them for x role, should they apply?” True signal from noise.

Plus the inventive alignment is great. Employees and employers are more accountable to their actions. This in particular could be a benefit to both sides. Play cricket, get rewarded, play with people’s lives, get called out on it

In short: keep going

Just heard the phrase “zap battle” for the first time

1) love it

2) Just think about a charity event, & there is an auction for something, the biggest bid wins. Ego. Yes. Impact. Yes. Completion. For sure.

At scale, public zap battles have the potential to create huge amounts of capital flow. Doesn’t have to be just donations. Why not equity investing? Or a bid for a limited edition product?

Just another mind-bending idea that just wasn’t truly possible pre-Nostr
