Hi Reader,

I’ve worn a lot of hats in my career.

Started at Goldman Sachs during a recession.
Picked up a camera—turned that into a decade of creative work with brands like Kith, Cash App, and Shiseido.
Co-founded a startup, scaled it past seven figures, raised over a million.
Now, I'm leading revenue and product at Offor, scaling a method that changes how the world hires.

None of it followed a straight line. But it’s all connected.

There’s a thread. A through line.

I’ve always been chasing clarity. Solving problems. Helping people see what they’re building—and how to make it real.

If your path’s been a mix of pivots, risks, and reinventions, it’s proof you’ve been evolving. Not stuck. You’re in motion.

But here’s the part I wish more people said out loud:
You’ve got to be able to tell the story.
Not spin it. Not oversell it. But own it in a way that helps other people get what you’re about.

That means being clear on:

• What you actually care about
• What’s stayed consistent, even when the jobs changed
• What you’ve learned—especially the hard way

Because at a certain point, resumes blur together. What sticks is the story you tell and the clarity you bring.

If you’re in a season of figuring out what’s next, what fits, and what makes sense, you’re not behind.
Just don’t skip the work of making meaning from what you’ve done so far.

It’s not about having a perfect plan. It’s about knowing what you’re rooted in—and building from there.

Warmly,
Justin
