Stop waiting for the future to come to you.
The best way to get started is to sign up for Refactor Your Career. That's my free daily newsletter on how to leverage networking and personal branding to take control of your future.
You'll learn things like:
- How to build a network from scratch without leaving your house
- How to create a cringe-free personal brand
- How to pivot your career
You can also check out some of my articles:
There's only one thing guaranteed to be true in 10 years:
Your network will still be the most powerful asset you have.
AI can't take your relationships and the trust you've built with other people. Networks will still create opportunities and open doors that would otherwise be closed to you - they increase your surface area for luck.
The people who double down on people will come out ahead of the people who double down on tech.
Job applications are a lottery. Networks are an asset.
Spamming your resume only to get filtered or ghosted after a 15 minute recruiter call is a low-leverage, low-probability activity.
But you're not limited to choosing between grinding leetcode and quitting to take up farming. You don't have to be stuck in "senior dev" limbo forever or watch AI eat away at your prospects.
There is a way to build a valuable, AI-proof career.
You're playing the wrong game.
Stop standing in the same line as everyone else.
The people with the careers and clients you want don't put up their hand and wait. They don't market themselves on their tech skills and side projects.
They're not special. You can learn how to network. You can learn how to build your personal brand. You can stand out from the crowd.
Hey! I'm Clark Teeple.
I help devs, engineering managers, and CTOs build networks and personal brands to AI-proof their careers and earn better salaries.
I've spend the majority of my 15 year career as an engineering manager.
The only job I've ever applied to was my first one. Every other opportunity in my career has come from a combination of networking and personal branding.
When I was laid off, I had consulting and full time employment opportunities lined up the next day. But I noticed my teammates struggled to find new work... so I started helping them learn how to network.
Now, my mission is to help everyone in tech future-proof themselves and maximize their potential.
