𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤?

Two interesting things happened last night.

1. I listened to the State of the Union and heard the president talking about how great the job market is.

“𝑀𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝐴𝑚𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑎𝑛𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑛 𝑎𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑦 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 ℎ𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑜𝑓 𝑜𝑢𝑟 𝑐𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑦," 𝑇𝑟𝑢𝑚𝑝 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑.

I fact checked it. It's true. So, the issue now is not "are there jobs" but "what are the jobs?" Spend some time on LinkedIn, and you'll see despair and a changed job market where the rules have changed, the jobs have changed, and the expectations have changed. Every single one of us has connections on LinkedIn that have spent a year or more looking for work.

2. I spent some time last night talking with a friend who is cashing out. He's selling his house, buying an RV, and going to live as a digital nomad. After maybe 18 months of unemployment, he's "ℎ𝑒𝑎𝑑𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑊𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑏𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 ℎ𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑜𝑢𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑐ℎ𝑎𝑛𝑔𝑒 𝑤𝑜𝑢𝑙𝑑 𝑑𝑜 ℎ𝑖𝑚 𝑔𝑜𝑜𝑑." He's not alone. The job statistics the government releases don't count the people that are unemployed longer than 6 months, are underemployed, or dropped off the statistics completely like my friend in his RV.

So, I do what I do. I want to at least be an oasis in the desert for the tens of thousands of people on LinkedIn that are out of work, feel trapped, and in financial trouble or dispair. I am going to dedicate my Happe Hour podcast on Saturday to the concept of "𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤?"

I am going to try and reframe things for you and your LinkedIn Connections on what this new, rapidly changing economy looks like and how you can pivot into it.

You can find the Happe Hour podcast on nearly all podcast platforms including Apple, Amazon, IHeartRadio, Spotify, Spreaker, or pretty much anywhere you can listen to a podcast.

I want to give hope to the hopeless. Even if you don't need this information today, you might tomorrow and you might be able to share it with a friend, family member or someone on LinkedIn to give them hope on a gray day. The episode called 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐣𝐨𝐛𝐬 𝐧𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤? will be available Saturday morning.

I think we have the distribution reactivated for the 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 podcast. That means you should now be able to find it on Spotify, Spreaker, Apple, iHeartMedia, Amazon Music, Audible or anywhere else you listen to podcasts. This show took the place of our award winning "Mind Your Business Radio Show" on iHeartMedia, so for now we're concentrating on Saturday morning releases for the 4,000 regular listeners we have. If you subscribe on Apple (or most of the other platforms) you will automatically gain access to the shows as we release them Saturday mornings.

This Saturday's show will give you a bit if the special sauce as to how I became a billion dollar seller. The show is called "Anyone is Reachable" and it's about how to reach people that others would consider "untouchable."

Tune in Saturday's to the 𝐇𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐞 𝐇𝐨𝐮𝐫 Podcast.
