Good habits are foundational to achieving your goals.

However, what they aren’t, is easy to build - and getting them to stick around is even harder, which is why so many people try to start reading more, eating better, or going to the gym - only to find themselves heading back to the warm familiarity of Netflix, Cheetos, and the 68 calories per hour they burn by sitting just days later.

Of course, most of those people make things harder for themselves because they don’t go about building those habits in a smart way.

So today, we’re going to go over 4 common habit-building mistakes and how you can avoid them.

1. Jumping into the deep end right away
2. Either taking on too many habits at once, or attempting to build a really difficult habit instead of starting small.
Example: Telling yourself that you’re going to read 50 pages of a book every day, rather than starting off with just 10. Or telling yourself that you’ll practice piano for 2 hours every day, instead of aiming for 15 minutes.
All progress is made in small steps. Even Neil Armstrong’s first step onto the moon was a small one. The “giant step for mankind” that he referenced next was a nod to the years of incremental progress and small refinements made by not only the astronauts themselves, but by the thousands of engineers, scientists, and technicians that supported them.
They knew that we weren’t getting to the moon in one gigantic leap. They knew that to do something great, it would take years of incremental progress - and that progress is only possible if the objective at each stage is one that’s just slightly out of reach, but still doable.
Another group of people who know this well are game designers. A game designer can build all sorts of interesting elements into their game, but most people will get overwhelmed and stop playing if everything is thrown at them all at once. That’s why designers build in steady progression.
Take a game like Hollow Knight. Eventually, you’ll be double jumping, dashing, and using different powers to fight multiple enemies at once - but in the beginning, all you can do is jump and swing your sword at a beetle.
So take a queue from the astronauts and game designers. Start small, and then build what the author Nick Winter calls a “Success Spiral”. Make your initial habits easy - read 10 pages, practice piano for 15 minutes, get up half an hour earlier than you usually do.
As you prove to yourself that you can handle your habits - as you spiral up - slowly make them more difficult. Move that reading goal from 15 minutes a day to 30. Or slowly add more to your plate. But in the beginning, start small and keep things simple.
3. Assuming there is no chimp.
4. A few years ago, I came across this really cool band called Chimpspanner. If you like really technical, instrumental metal, I’d recommend you check them out.
Though I liked their music, the name always confused me. I had no idea what Chimpspanner meant - that is, until a couple years later when my friend Simon used the word “spanner” to refer to a wrench. That’s when it hit me - “Chimp spanner” = “monkey wrench."
This also helped me understand the old saying, “throw a spanner in the works.” It’s a monkey wrench.
Now, that’s just an interesting tidbit about the differences in UK and US words, but here’s the point: There’s always a proverbial chimp waiting to throw a spanner into your habit-building work.
And the big mistake that people make when trying to build new habits is assuming the chimp isn’t there. They assume that everything will go well all the time, and that nothing unexpected will pop up to derail them - which, of course, means they’re not ready when something inevitably happens, and then they get derailed because of it.
So, realize that the chimp is always there, ready to throw a spanner in the works. Or, to put that the way Charles Duhigg would in his book The Power of Habit, anticipate **inflection points -** points you’re likely to run into pain or some inconvenience that might derail you - and then plan for them in advance.
For some of these points, you simply need to be ready to accept the discomfort they’ll cause. In the book, Duhigg reports on a study that focused on people who had gotten knee and hip replacement surgeries. In order to fully recover from a surgery like this, you have to start moving and exercising very soon after it happens - but doing so is really painful. many people never recover because they can’t bring themselves to accept the pain.
So this study had the participants simply write down goals and action steps that would lead to exercise. These were often really simple - like one man’s plan to walk down to the bus stop to meet his wife - but writing them meant the participants were anticipating moments of pain and planning on how to deal with them. And the people who did this started walking almost twice as fast as the average patient.
It’s worth noting that not all inflection points have to be faced head on like this, because many can be avoided through good planning. I’ll give you one example: When I get up in the morning, I make a smoothie (video here) - Now, this habit could easily be derailed if I ran out of certain ingredients, like the milk I use - so I make sure that never happens by following a rule I learned from the CGP Grey’s Cortex podcast - “2 is 1, and 1 is none.” I always make sure to have a backup; that way, I can’t get derailed by something running out.
5. Choosing not to sit beneath the sword.
6. In Ancient Greek history there is the story of The Sword of Damocles, in which a courtier - Damocles - is given all the power and luxury of a king for a day. However, placed above his throne there was also a giant sword, which hung by a single horse’s hair.
For Damocles, the riches and luxury weren’t enough to keep him sitting under that dangling sword, and he quickly gave up the power that he’d be given.
In the story, the Sword is a metaphor for the precariousness of power - one false move could set tragic events into action.
And because of this, I’ve always thought of the Sword of Damocles when building new habits BECAUSE… I like to set one up for myself when doing so. In other words, I set up consequences for failure.
Most people choose not to do this. They choose not to sit beneath that metaphorical sword. And without the threat of some consequence looming above them, they often lack the self-discipline to stick to their chosen habit over the long term.
So how do you “sit under the sword”? For me, the best way of doing this is to use what are called **commitment devices** - external systems that are set up to track my progress and ensure that there will be some kind of consequence if I fail to stick to my habits.
The simplest example of this, which doesn’t require any kind of special app or tool, is just to make a bet with a friend. A few years ago, I bet my friend Martin that I’d read 25 pages a day for 3 months. If I skipped even one day, I’d pay him $100. And to stay accountable, I gave him a link to a spreadsheet where I tracked my progress.
If you do want to use an app, though, there’s Beeminder and Stickk, both of which act as that friend for you and can charge you money if you fail to stick to your habits. And there are also habit trackers, like Strides, HabitHub ([https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rstudioz.habits](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rstudioz.habits)), and Habitica. These let you track your progress, and the main consequence they bring to the table is the threat that your streak will be broken - though Habitica also includes game elements like gear, experience, and multiplayer quests - so your character can lose health or even die if you slack off.
Whatever you choose to use, I highly recommend find some way to hang that metaphorical sword of Damocles over your head - at least until you know the habit you’re trying to build is fully ingrained.
7. Trying to build a habit without a strong, personally meaningful reason for doing so.
8. As Simon Sinek would say, you need to start with why.
Don’t try to adopt a habit just because someone you follow does it, or just because it’s on some YouTuber’s morning routine video.
That doesn’t mean that your favorite YouTuber’s morning smoothie isn’t something you should adopt into your own routine - but before doing so, ask yourself if it’ll help you move toward what actually matters to you.
As James Clear rightly points out in his book Atomic Habits:"Good habits can make rational sense, but if they conflict with your identity, you will fail to put them into action.”And you have to keep this in mind, because it can be so easy to get caught up in emulation for the wrong reasons.
Reading example - you feel like all the successful people are reading a ton of books, so you think you need to as well. But what if the thing you want to learn right now would be better learned in a different way? Reading a book isn’t the only way to learn something. Sometimes you learn by tinkering and messing around, or by going to class, taking a course, or going down a messy Google rabbit hole.
You can’t really track your Google rabbit holes on Goodreads, and you can’t put them up on a shelf in your garage next to your Lamborghini. It’s hard to brag about them. But that doesn’t make them useless. And depending on what you’re trying to do, that method of learning might be more useful than reading a book - which means that you should probably dial back your reading goal to make room for it.

    For example, one of my main interests right now is learning how to produce music. There are plenty of books out there about this topic, but at the moment, I’m still trying to figure out how to use Logic - and the best way I’ve found for doing that is to spend time trying to do things in it, and looking up tutorials when I get stuck. At the moment, doing this is far more useful than going through book.

9. So, to briefly summarize:
10. Start small and build success spirals. Don’t try to do too much at once.
Anticipate inflection points. Plan to avoid them if possible, and if not, mentally prepare for the discomfort they’ll bring.
Sit beneath the sword. Integrate accountability and consequences into your habit building efforts.
Start with why. Make sure you have a personally meaningful reason for each habit you choose to build.

# Example - DON'T DELETE BEFORE DOING A CSV MERGE

Gathered: No
In Video: No
Premiere: No

If you don't care about the magical benefits of CSV merges, then just use this area to manually create a list of B-roll shots.

---

If you use [Frame.io](http://frame.io) to create comments on your video's rough A-Roll cut, either for fixes or B-roll ideas, you can export all those comments to a CSV file.

Then you can go into Google Sheets and delete all columns except for the Comment and Timestamp ones.

Leave the top row with the column names - Notion has a bug (not fixed yet) that will randomly delete one of your rows on CSV import. However, I've found that if you leave that top row there, it'll always delete that one.

I have no idea why this happens, but it does.

Download your new, 2-column CSV file and do a CSV merge on this B-roll table (well, not this one - duplicate this entire row in the Master Tracker and then do it on the B-roll table there). Again, make sure you don't delete this item before the merge - it's the only thing that will preserve all the useful columns here. Without it, the CSV will delete all columns here and replace them with the two that it has. But with it, it'll just import perfectly.

From there, you can start adding tags to each B-roll item. Why do this? Well, each tag is a "gather type". By assigning gather types, such as "film" or "online image", you can batch your b-roll gathering tasks. It's the same idea that filmmakers use when shooting scenes: If Scenes A, B, H, and Z are all in the same location, they'll shoot them altogether even if they separated by other scenes in the final movie cut. Batching makes you more productive.

Once you're done tagging, use the various database views for each stage of the project. Switch to Gather first to sort everything by Gather Type. Once you're done collecting, you can go back to Chrono, which makes it easy for you (or your editor) to zoom right to the timestamp in the video and place B-roll.

Use Fix view to show any entry with "#fix" in its content. I use this for A-roll fixes that need to be done.

Finally, you can use the Premiere checkbox and switch between Premiere and After Effects views if you're like me and work with both Premiere and After Effects.

**Questions to Shape the Script – “The Shock of Loss”**

1.	**The Moment It Happened**

•	How did you find out you lost your job? Was it a call, an email, an in-person meeting?

•	What were the first thoughts that went through your mind?

•	What was the immediate impact—did you feel panic, relief, disbelief?

2.	**The First Few Days**

•	What did you do the first day after losing your job? Did you sit in silence, go for a walk, immediately start applying for jobs?

•	Did you tell anyone right away? How did people react?

3.	**Financial and Emotional Fallout**

•	Did you have savings or a safety net, or was this a financial shock?

•	Emotionally, what did the loss of your job mean to you? Did it challenge your identity, confidence, or sense of purpose?

# **Episode 1: The Shock of Loss**

(*Sound: A computer mouse clicking. A low electronic hum. The faint echo of a video call connecting.*)

## **HOST:**

The moment it happened,

I didn’t think it was really happening.

Not at first.

It was just another video call, just another meeting.

But something was way off

(*Pause. A slow inhale.*)

I could tell by the way they looked at me—the way their shoulders slumped,

the way they hesitated before speaking.

I could feel the energy coming thru the screen,

Their words were already heavy before they even left their mouths.

And then, like that, the floor was gone.

Emotional triggers were flipped.
Emotions I was incapable of nullifying.
Emotions I was incapable getting fully under control.

(*Sound: A chair creaking, a distant clock ticking, a heartbeat accelerating.*)

I had worked for years.

**Good work. Solid work.**

Work that mattered to clients — they said so.

And yet, in that moment, I wasn’t Bert.

I was a decision. A number. A line item.

They told me it wasn’t personal. But its always personal.

And when the call ended, I sat there.

Just sat there.

Numb to the idea of carrying on the day.

(*Pause. Let it hang.*)

Then the panic hit.

(*Sound: A rush of wind, like a wave crashing in the mind. The distant murmur of a world continuing without you.*)

I had just lost my only source of dependable income.

Just like that. I felt this wave—like grief, but sharper.

More immediate.

I felt small. Disposable.

The day went by as if I was in a slumber

And then, the next day arrived— ready, or not.

(*Sound: A dog’s collar jingling, the crunch of footsteps on a hiking trail.*)

I told the people who needed to know.

My ex. She said she was sorry—that was the extent of any real consolation given.

My kids. They knew before I opened my mouth.

Then I did what you do when there’s nothing else to do—

I started looking. Update the Resume. LinkedIn Profile.
Job boards. Search after search. 100, 200, 500 applications 700, 1000, nearly 2000 now.

But between the applications, the auto-rejections, the “thanks but no thanks.

I needed air.

So I walked. Took the dog.

Climbed a hill.

I stared at the sky, while hiking,
trying to figure out where it all went wrong.

(*Pause. The sound of wind rustling leaves.*)

Was it me?

Could I have avoided this?

Why do I keep ending up here?

(*Sound: A pen scratching on paper, pages flipping—like a life being re-written against its will.*)

I had no savings. No real safety net.

Three kids—money leaving as fast as it ever came in.

And beyond the financial shock, the deeper wound was this:

If I’m so good at fixing things—why couldn’t I fix this?

(*Silence. Let that thought land. Then, slowly, the sound of typing—applications being sent into the void.*)

The job search was brutal. **1,600 applications. Three interviews.** No callbacks.

Over and over—**“Thanks, but no thanks.”**

Sometimes within **two hours.**

Other times, just silence.

I applied to jobs I was overqualified for—

jobs I could do blindfolded.

Didn’t matter.

I was over 50.

And in the job market, that’s an expiration date.
I was deemed “past due” by the gatekeepers of the economy.

(*Sound: A notification ding. A robotic email voice reading rejection after rejection.*)

The worst part? After a while, you start believing it.

(*Pause.*)

Maybe I’m not good enough.

Maybe I don’t deserve another shot.

Maybe the world has already moved on from me.

(*Sound: A slow, rhythmic heartbeat. Then, distant music swelling—faint but steady, like something still alive underneath it all.*)

But here’s the thing. Looking back now, I know that’s a lie.

I **do** have worth.

I **can** do great work.

And if I could go back to that moment—the second they told me it was over—I’d tell myself one thing:

Bullshit, It’s far from over.

(*Sound: The wind shifting. The slow build of something new beginning.*)

This is — *In the Margins*.

We keep going.

(*Sound fades. Episode ends.*)

Next

**Notes on Delivery & Production**

•	**Pacing** → Slow, deliberate. Let the weight of each moment sink in. Use **pauses** to create tension.

•	**Background Music & Sound Design** → Subtle, atmospheric. Minimalist hip-hop instrumentals or ambient soundscapes.

•	**Emotion** → This isn’t just a story—it’s a moment in time. **Feel it as you read it.**

This script keeps it under 5 minutes while making the listener *feel* every moment. Let me know what tweaks you’d like, or if anything needs adjusting!

002 — ITM: T1—The shock of loss


[Assistant]
[00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:11.360]   We are recording the answers to the age-ism questions.
[00:00:11.360 --> 00:00:14.760]   Let's just make sure we're rolling.
[00:00:14.760 --> 00:00:22.520]   We are and episode two facing age-ism.
[00:00:22.520 --> 00:00:29.640]   How does it feel to be looking for a job at the age?
[00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.080]   Well, you're at over 50.
[00:00:33.080 --> 00:00:34.880]   How do you know age-ism is real?
[00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:36.480]   Let's break it down.
[00:00:36.480 --> 00:00:38.920]   The first signs of age-ism.
[00:00:38.920 --> 00:00:44.740]   When did you first realize your age was working against you in the job market?
[00:00:44.740 --> 00:00:51.720]   Was there a specific rejection or interview that made it clear?
[00:00:51.720 --> 00:01:07.480]   Not really. I can't recall one particular moment that stands out from any other moment.
[00:01:07.480 --> 00:01:29.260]   But I will say that prior to losing my position at Hatch in May of 2023, the longest period
[00:01:29.260 --> 00:01:36.560]   of unemployment for me across my whole life was three months, and that was the three months
[00:01:36.560 --> 00:01:47.140]   that took me to get the job, the last job I had, so you could say that because prior
[00:01:47.140 --> 00:01:56.960]   to that three months, goodness, it maybe took me a month to find a new job.
[00:01:56.960 --> 00:02:01.080]   What I talked about being like, though, in the previous episode, so I'm not going to
[00:02:01.080 --> 00:02:13.160]   get into that, the age-ism, I guess, you could say, with that three-month period that I mentioned,
[00:02:13.160 --> 00:02:26.400]   was kind of a dipping your toe in the water moment for, I guess, not dipping my toe.
[00:02:26.400 --> 00:02:33.880]   It was the beginning of the storm, like you could see the clouds on the horizon, and
[00:02:33.880 --> 00:02:39.000]   you were looking at it and going, "Yeah, I see it, but I don't think it's coming my
[00:02:39.000 --> 00:02:43.120]   way right now."
[00:02:43.120 --> 00:03:01.140]   After the six months at Hatch and was let go, I started my job search and within, I would
[00:03:01.140 --> 00:03:21.780]   say that was May of 2023, I would say by July or August, so you're talking six to eight
[00:03:21.780 --> 00:03:39.020]   weeks into it, that's when I started to realize that my age could be working against me, and
[00:03:39.020 --> 00:03:46.020]   that kind of sucked.
[00:03:46.020 --> 00:03:52.520]   First question, did recruiters or hiring managers ever comment on your age directly or indirectly,
[00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:56.980]   if so, how?
[00:03:56.980 --> 00:04:03.720]   It only came up in conversation when I was asking them about it from a strategic point
[00:04:03.720 --> 00:04:18.320]   of view, like how, basically, how could I show my experience without showing how much
[00:04:18.320 --> 00:04:25.840]   or how long I had been doing it for?
[00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:34.600]   So that was really the only time I spoke to a hiring manager about it.
[00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.880]   Next question, have I noticed patterns and how companies communicate with you compared
[00:04:41.880 --> 00:04:51.800]   to younger job seekers?
[00:04:51.800 --> 00:05:03.400]   I don't know the answer to that simply because I don't know what other job seekers are getting
[00:05:03.400 --> 00:05:06.240]   in terms of their replies.
[00:05:06.240 --> 00:05:19.240]   I can tell you this, the things I am getting are so formulaic, it's ridiculous how templated
[00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:22.320]   they are.
[00:05:22.320 --> 00:05:31.360]   I'm really surprised I don't see variable names inside the email templates that I received
[00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:33.960]   for rejection.
[00:05:33.960 --> 00:05:44.200]   And the emails are brilliant because I will send an application online, submit it, fill
[00:05:44.200 --> 00:05:52.000]   out their forms, cover letter, spend time customizing everything because I would like
[00:05:52.000 --> 00:05:58.480]   an interview, you know, I can get my foot in the door.
[00:05:58.480 --> 00:06:07.720]   I interview really well, I'm conversational, I treat it like I would a client meeting,
[00:06:07.720 --> 00:06:13.440]   and clients, I love hanging out with clients, they are interesting people, so I would think
[00:06:13.440 --> 00:06:19.880]   the same thing, someone interviewing me, I would be curious about their role in the
[00:06:19.880 --> 00:06:26.760]   company, how long they've been there, what it feels like, etc.
[00:06:26.760 --> 00:06:42.880]   So back to the point, I do not notice a difference, however, I notice a shift in complete loss
[00:06:42.880 --> 00:06:55.840]   of humanity in the job search process, it's void of people in the communications to get
[00:06:55.840 --> 00:07:10.600]   an email from a person that is not sent from a no reply at dot dot dot email address is
[00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:21.040]   the exception and not the rule, it's rare to get a hey, thanks for taking the time to
[00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:27.720]   apply, I'm sorry to email you about this news.
[00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:34.200]   Onto the next question, the unspoken rules, what industries or roles seem most biased against
[00:07:34.200 --> 00:07:35.360]   older workers?
[00:07:35.360 --> 00:07:45.240]   Well, I can tell you this, today I was reading an article where the person or boss that
[00:07:45.240 --> 00:07:55.400]   needed someone hired told the hiring manager, I don't want anyone born before 1990.
[00:07:55.400 --> 00:08:00.040]   So if they're older than 35, I don't want them.
[00:08:00.040 --> 00:08:13.080]   So apparently 35 years old is the new quote, old, unquote, in the technology sector.
[00:08:13.080 --> 00:08:21.800]   That's where I apply my trade as a software designer.
[00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:36.120]   So technology very biased against older workers when the people inside the company tend to
[00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:44.440]   all be on the young end of the spectrum.
[00:08:44.440 --> 00:08:50.120]   Next question, do you feel like experience is valued or does it seem like companies prefer
[00:08:50.120 --> 00:08:53.240]   younger, cheaper workers?
[00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:57.880]   Right now, my feeling is everybody's going on price.
[00:08:57.880 --> 00:09:09.000]   They don't want to spend a lot of money for an, you know, someone with an incredible experience
[00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:10.520]   in value.
[00:09:10.520 --> 00:09:22.120]   Now, partly that's due to the economy and how things are going outside the industry.
[00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:33.920]   But by and large, it hasn't really changed much since May of 2023 that has felt they
[00:09:33.920 --> 00:09:40.400]   are going for very young, cheap people.
[00:09:40.400 --> 00:09:50.040]   So for example, they will ask for someone with three to five years experience.
[00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:59.480]   And someone with that level of experience is applying for a senior position.
[00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:03.000]   How is that possible?
[00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:16.720]   No other industry, profession, et cetera, where, you know, white collar profession where you
[00:10:16.720 --> 00:10:31.400]   have to have very specific knowledge, skills, abilities, all combined in this soup to be
[00:10:31.400 --> 00:10:40.720]   able to do what it is I do, me and hundreds of thousands of others.
[00:10:40.720 --> 00:11:03.360]   And the, that experience is really, I mean, that is where the magic happens, is people
[00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:09.200]   that have had seven to ten years experience.
[00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:10.200]   I mean, goodness.
[00:11:10.200 --> 00:11:17.880]   I wouldn't put anyone, I wouldn't ten years, minimum for a senior role, minimum.
[00:11:17.880 --> 00:11:25.720]   I mean, ten years, you should be definitely not junior, but you should be kind of one
[00:11:25.720 --> 00:11:28.040]   of the regular people.
[00:11:28.040 --> 00:11:40.680]   After the, you know, a staff designer with ten years, you know, five years, you know,
[00:11:40.680 --> 00:11:44.600]   you're just coming out of junior in my mind.
[00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:47.000]   First four years, you're a junior.
[00:11:47.000 --> 00:11:54.440]   Like think about it this way, you go to four years of high school.
[00:11:54.440 --> 00:12:07.600]   You do four years of college, so why not have four years of professional experience before
[00:12:07.600 --> 00:12:17.200]   you can call yourself anything other than a junior?
[00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:18.360]   You're not a senior.
[00:12:18.360 --> 00:12:24.000]   Anyway, let's move on.
[00:12:24.000 --> 00:12:30.880]   One is have you seen job listings with coded language like digital native or fast paced
[00:12:30.880 --> 00:12:35.960]   environment that you suspect are dog whistles for younger candidates?
[00:12:35.960 --> 00:12:45.840]   Yes, I have seen that without question in my industry, which is technology and design.
[00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:54.840]   It is unquestionably, it's unquestionably there.
[00:12:54.840 --> 00:12:59.760]   The examples you give are great, and I've seen others.
[00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:04.000]   Numbers three, trying to work around it.
[00:13:04.000 --> 00:13:11.200]   Have I adjusted my resume, LinkedIn or interview style to hide my age?
[00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:14.040]   What strategies have you tried?
[00:13:14.040 --> 00:13:27.360]   I have with resume and LinkedIn basically any documentation, anything that documents my
[00:13:27.360 --> 00:13:36.080]   work history has the starting year and the ending year.
[00:13:36.080 --> 00:13:44.200]   I don't have December of 2000 to May of 2023.
[00:13:44.200 --> 00:13:57.540]   I just have 2000 to 2023 trying to keep it much simpler, so I removed anything number
[00:13:57.540 --> 00:14:05.440]   based that related to time to put me down somewhere on a calendar.
[00:14:05.440 --> 00:14:08.740]   Other than the year.
[00:14:08.740 --> 00:14:18.880]   Then I also looked at the copy, just the language, and if any of my language was referring to
[00:14:18.880 --> 00:14:34.360]   anything that would reveal my age, think of it as you're in a poker game and you just
[00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:37.000]   don't want to reveal your cards.
[00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:44.160]   That's exactly the approach and strategy I used.
[00:14:44.160 --> 00:14:56.160]   Next bullet is what responses have I received when pushing back against age assumptions?
[00:14:56.160 --> 00:15:02.480]   The times I've brought it up, and I haven't really pushed back because, again, no one
[00:15:02.480 --> 00:15:09.800]   will admit if they're called out on it, they will not admit it.
[00:15:09.800 --> 00:15:20.760]   They may be blind to the fact that they're doing it because I've got to tell you, I think
[00:15:20.760 --> 00:15:32.720]   ageism, while people can be overt and say nobody older than 1990, I really think most
[00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.760]   of it is buried in the subconscious.
[00:15:36.760 --> 00:15:41.920]   It's not really a conscious decision.
[00:15:41.920 --> 00:15:46.800]   It's more you want someone your age or younger.
[00:15:46.800 --> 00:15:55.240]   It's kind of the subconscious decision-making I think that goes on.
[00:15:55.240 --> 00:16:04.640]   And all the people I did have discussions with about ageism said it definitely exists.
[00:16:04.640 --> 00:16:08.200]   Number four, this is the last number.
[00:16:08.200 --> 00:16:15.120]   How does it feel to be seen as too old for jobs you're perfectly qualified for?
[00:16:15.120 --> 00:16:29.240]   You know, I actually feel good to be considered too old because that means I have a lot of
[00:16:29.240 --> 00:16:39.760]   experience, I have a lot of value and I have both of those warehouses of both.
[00:16:39.760 --> 00:16:48.640]   I have so much experience that I can do a lot of the work in my head in conversation
[00:16:48.640 --> 00:16:59.720]   with a client so that, you know, after two or three meetings, hell not even that, I've
[00:16:59.720 --> 00:17:10.520]   walked out of a first meeting and able to draw, you know, workflow diagrams easily.
[00:17:10.520 --> 00:17:14.320]   Designing them in my head is we're talking to kind of figure out where the edges of the
[00:17:14.320 --> 00:17:17.680]   project are.
[00:17:17.680 --> 00:17:29.320]   So yeah, I don't, you know, I see it as a compliment not as a criticism.
[00:17:29.320 --> 00:17:34.600]   Because it made you question your abilities, your future or your self-worth.
[00:17:34.600 --> 00:17:47.680]   No, other things have, actually, initially it did bother me because I was unconscious
[00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:59.600]   to the fact that it was triggering me and my emotions were driving the bus.
[00:17:59.600 --> 00:18:08.520]   And once I became aware of that, which was probably December of 2023 towards the end
[00:18:08.520 --> 00:18:21.360]   of the year, I really kind of woke up about my value professionally.
[00:18:21.360 --> 00:18:31.000]   So to sum that up initially, yes, it made me question my worth.
[00:18:31.000 --> 00:18:48.400]   So at that particular time, I was at the very beginning of, or should I say, early stages
[00:18:48.400 --> 00:19:04.240]   of divorce, becoming a real path, hi guys.
[00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:11.240]   What would you say, next question, what would you say to employers who dismiss older job
[00:19:11.240 --> 00:19:16.960]   seekers without a second thought?
[00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:30.440]   Honestly, they are losing and missing out on incredible talent.
[00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:33.280]   And I look at it this way.
[00:19:33.280 --> 00:19:44.680]   Even with my level of experience, my cost, $20,000, $30,000 or probably more per year.
[00:19:44.680 --> 00:19:58.520]   And I would be willing to wager and submit that my efficiencies in terms of ability
[00:19:58.520 --> 00:20:08.200]   to get work done, know how to move and pivot through projects like water that I could
[00:20:08.200 --> 00:20:20.160]   save money, probably do more projects, take more work on, or help manage junior people
[00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:33.520]   and provide far more value than they're paying for even with the extra money.
[00:20:33.520 --> 00:20:41.680]   Older workers make your business better because we have been there and done that.
[00:20:41.680 --> 00:20:44.320]   It's pretty simple.
[00:20:44.320 --> 00:20:53.560]   We've had more trips around the sun and that makes us inherently more qualified simply
[00:20:53.560 --> 00:21:04.480]   because we've been alive longer.
