Getting laid off might be the best thing that ever happens to you.

I say that speaking from experience (and I want to be clear: I’m not dismissing the emotional gut-punch of it. The ego check is real. The uncertainty is real).

But what it forced me to do was stop. To actually look at what was working, what wasn’t, and what I wanted my life to look like.

For me, it led to starting my own business(es!). And I am genuinely in love with the flexible life I’ve built for myself and my family.

Not everyone’s “what’s next” looks the same. But that pause? It might be exactly what you needed.

Have you ever had a setback that turned into a turning point?

We’re currently hiring for a Supply Chain Compliance Analyst within the electronics manufacturing space.

This role sits at the intersection of supply chain, compliance, sustainability, product design, logistics, and global market expansion, helping ensure products can successfully move across markets while meeting complex regulatory requirements.

It’s a role for someone who enjoys solving complicated problems, thinking cross-functionally, and working in environments where regulations, operations, and business strategy constantly overlap.

If you have experience in global product compliance, electronics manufacturing, or supply chain regulations and are looking for something new, this could be a very interesting opportunity.

Career changes can feel intimidating because people often assume they’re leaving everything behind.

In reality, most people bring far more with them than they realize. Communication skills, leadership experience, operational thinking, relationship building, problem solving, industry knowledge, and years of pattern recognition.

The harder part usually isn’t building new skills. It’s recognizing the value of the ones you already have.

“Overqualified” is one of the most misunderstood terms in hiring.

It’s rarely just about someone having too much experience. More often, it reflects uncertainty around role scope, timing, long-term fit, or whether the opportunity fully aligns with what the candidate is looking for next.

That’s what makes hiring so nuanced. Strong candidates can still be the wrong fit for a specific role at a specific moment.

A lot of hiring decisions come down to alignment, not just capability.

Modern work rewards visibility in a lot of ways. But visibility and value are not always the same thing.

Some of the highest-impact people inside organizations are doing work that isn’t particularly loud or obvious. Reducing friction, clarifying priorities, preventing problems, maintaining trust, and helping teams operate more effectively behind the scenes.

A lot of important work happens quietly. And often, that’s exactly why it’s so valuable.

(Just one gram of cloud seeding agent can generate more than 10,000 gallons of rainfall.)

This is a company operating at the intersection of climate, infrastructure, policy, agriculture, and emerging technology, and they’re growing quickly.

Work environments affect people longer than companies sometimes realize.

Stressful cultures can create emotional residue that follows people into future roles. Constant urgency, defensiveness, difficulty trusting leadership, or feeling like everything is high pressure all the time.

What’s interesting is that many people adapt to these environments so gradually that the patterns start to feel normal.

Healthy workplaces actively work against this. Clear expectations, calm communication, consistency, and psychological safety don’t just improve culture. They change how people think, collaborate, and perform over time.

Before building my first company, I spent time inside two of the most brand-obsessed organizations in the world: lululemon and Tesla.

At lululemon, I learned the power of values-led hiring, community, culture, and creating an experience that feels deeply human.

At Tesla, I learned what urgency, innovation, high standards, and rapid scaling really look like in practice.

What I walked away with was a front-row seat to what scale actually looks like. The brilliance of it, and the limitations.

Big brands win on repeatable, consistent, scalable systems. That part I kept. But I also watched those systems slow things down in ways that smaller operators simply don’t have to accept.

As a founder, that gap is your advantage (if you’re paying attention).

What I brought with me:
→ Obsess over every touchpoint. Brand is built in the details: the email tone, the follow-up, the way you handle a no
→ Build repeatable processes before you feel like you need them. The boring infrastructure saves you later
→ The experience you deliver is the product
→ Direct relationships: with every client, every candidate, every decision
→ The ability to change course tomorrow, not next quarter

Big brands taught me a lot— but building on my own taught me how much of it I actually absorbed.

We’re currently working with Rainmaker, a climate technology company focused on modernizing water infrastructure through next-generation cloud seeding technology.

We’re currently hiring for a role supporting government affairs, policy strategy, and water infrastructure initiatives in California.

A genuinely interesting opportunity for someone who wants to work at the intersection of public policy, sustainability, and emerging technology.
