#518 25 Jobs, One Breakdown, 100,000 Followers w. Matt Lakajev

Matt Lakajev dropped out of school, got kicked out of home more than once, and worked 25 different jobs before having a breakdown at 27 that sent him back to his parents' place. He then googled how to make the most money without a degree, found sales, and built an audience of more than 100,000 people on the platform everyone claims to hate.

This one's for anyone in a senior role who knows their network matters but has never posted a thing. Matt gets specific on why LinkedIn still converts better than anywhere else, what AI screening is quietly doing to your job applications, and why hitting post for the first time takes most people about three years.
