👋 Welcome to Week 15 of The Elite Edge!

As we wrap up 2024, I wanted to share something personal with you—my highs, my lows, and the lessons I’m taking into 2025. This year has been a whirlwind, full of growth, connection, and reflection, and I’m so grateful to have you as part of this community.

The Highs 🌟

This year, I ventured into new territory—TikTok and Instagram. What started as an experiment turned into a passion project that I’ve worked on every day. Connecting with an audience of 50,000+ people in just a few months has been an incredible journey. Sharing career advice, industry insights, and stories with all of you has been nothing short of amazing.

Another highlight was starting The Elite Edge! This newsletter has given me a direct way to connect with you, sharing what I read, listen to, and watch, along with advice to help you navigate your careers. It’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my year, and I look forward to growing this space together.

The Low 💔

Not all of this year has been easy. Earlier this year, I faced one of the hardest moments of my life: losing my dad. He was (and always will be) my biggest champion. His belief in me gave me the courage to dream big, and his loss has been deeply painful. But through this, I’ve found strength in his legacy and the lessons he taught me about resilience and love.

Looking Ahead: Let’s Make 2025 Incredible Together 🚀

As we move into the new year, now is the perfect time to reflect, recharge, and reimagine your goals. Whether you’re staying the course or gearing up for a career pivot, here are some ways to start strong:

• Leverage AI Tools: Use AI to optimize your resume, streamline job searches, and practice for interviews. It’s your secret weapon in the modern job market.

  • Hiring doesn’t stop in December. Many companies use the holidays to close open roles or plan ahead for Q1 hiring. If you’re thinking about a career move, get proactive.

    • 🔥 AI TOOL ALERT » Massive (it’s like Tinder for jobs). 

• Prepare for High-Growth Sectors: Industries like AI, green energy, and healthcare are booming—position yourself to capitalize on these opportunities.

• Refresh Your Personal Brand: Update your LinkedIn and build or refine your ProFolios.ai profile. A polished, professional presence can open doors you didn’t know existed.

• Reflect with Purpose: What worked for you this year? What didn’t? Write it down and use those lessons to guide your goals for the new year.

Thank You 💌

Creating this newsletter, connecting with you on social media, and being part of your career journey has been a privilege. As we step into 2025, I’m filled with optimism, motivation, and gratitude. Let’s grow together, challenge ourselves, and make the new year one of our best yet.

Wishing you a joyful holiday season and a strong start to 2025! 🎉

Warm regards,
