I was laid off in July from a COO / Supply Chain role at a D2C e-commerce company. After testing the market for a few months, I came to the same conclusion you did, I’d rather bet on myself than jump through hoops only to potentially land back in the same spot.

I’ve decided to narrow my focus to the change management side of my COO experience. I saw firsthand how alignment, leadership, and process discipline can make or break a growing company, especially now with AI entering the picture.

Would love to connect with any of you to discuss the best way to go about this as I feel I am hitting a wall on how to market/position this etc.

Also, I really enjoyed this episode!

Thanks for being there! Positioning is a major challenge for sure.

Huge need Josh. We will be running a free workshop on March 4th about unbundling the value of your experience. It start with an introspective view and ends with an offer. This might help your positioning. We will then go deeper into your offer and way to validate it on March 19th. If you like I can send you the link to the free workshop and we can take it from there.

Josh, I think I can help. Message me and we'll find a time to chat. I spent 15 years in manufacturing, industrial distribution and supply chain. Really like the change management focus. Smart. Smart. Smart.

folks, lil' feedback: that was really ponderous, and meandering; could have fit in 30mins.

Definitely agree my friend. Learning in real time over here. Appreciate the feedback! Hope you’re having a great week!

We just like chatting! 🤣 maybe we should have let the professor corral us.

Thank you for your patience and feedback. My students are too rebellious. I’ll keep a tight leash next time.
