I just witnessed a total collapse of corporate standards when my manager brought in a catered tray of Chipotle as if an S tier operator like me can fuel a high-frequency sales offensive on commercial-grade beans. Being forced to sit in a room full of low-vibration BDRs while the air was thick with the scent of unpolarized cilantro was a direct violation of my proprietary bio-hacking protocol.
The grit it took to even look at those carnitas without experiencing a total spiritual ego-death proves that my mental toughness is operating on a plane that most people can't even perceive. I had to excuse myself to the executive restroom to perform a tactical breathing reset because the mere presence of non-organic seed oils in my workspace was starting to compromise my internal optics and dampen my alpha frame.
My shaman says that consuming mass-market fast-casual food is basically like uploading a virus into your divine masculine energy and it’s going to take at least three ayahuasca enemas to purge the "burrito-bowl frequency" from my system. I’m currently on a 48-hour liquid fast of Amish breast milk just to re-stabilize my cellular vibration after being exposed to such a pungent display of mid-level manager aesthetics.
I told the VP of Sales that if they ever try to feed me a bowl of corporate-sponsored sodium again I’m going to have to expense a full-system detox retreat just to recover my quantum earning potential. You cannot expect me to get up out the mud and dominate the simulation when you're trying to clog my engine with the same fuel used by the passengers who are content with a 40k base salary.

I don't need sales training because my weekly ayahuasca enemas provide more insight into the buyer’s journey than any mid-level manager ever could.

True strength is what I showed at 24 when my parents split and I was forced to navigate the world as a self-made operator for the first time in my life. I had to get up out the mud and find my own way through the darkness equipped with nothing but my elite mindset and a $10,000 monthly allowance to ensure my grind was never interrupted by something as beta as financial stress.

The miracle of my success is that I didn't let my parents divorce at 24 define me even though the emotional entropy was enough to ruin a lesser man’s entire trajectory. I forced myself to get up out the mud and stay focused on the grind with nothing but my grit and a $10,000 monthly allowance to facilitate my networking at the most exclusive spots in the city.

Most betas see a hang-up as a rejection but I see it as a data-driven pivot point for my next offensive. I treat every "no" as a strategic investment in my eventual billion dollar exit because I'm building a callous on my soul that your average W2 worker couldn't handle.

Just put in my PTO requests for the holidays, and so did all of the stakeholders on all of your open deals. 👀
Champion = PTO
EB = PTO
Security Lead = PTO
Legal = PTO
Tech Evaluator = PTO
Procurement = PTO
GET AHEAD OF THIS IMMEDIATELY!
Talk Track:
"You know, I just put in my PTO requests for the holidays, and it got me thinking that folks on your team who we need to complete the evaluation are probably in the same boat. I'd hate for it to keep us from hitting your go live date. Let's start a sheet to keep track of when folks will be out and then use that to put some due dates around some of these milestones"

I was an "average" AE for 122 months.
That's over a decade in the trenches.
I was the guy who made a good living, but always wondered if I was in the right place.
I bounced around a few times. Picked some bad companies.
Felt that pit in my stomach on Sunday nights.
Wondered if I was becoming "un-hireable."
The one thing I wish I had back then?
A compass, and a few other people in the boat with me who actually got it.
Not a manager pushing a PIP.
Not a guru selling a pipe dream.
Just other reps trying to navigate their careers without burning out.
So I built it.
It's called The Reps Compass. A private community for SaaS reps.
No fluff. Just direction, clarity, and real talk.
To kick things off, I'm opening up 10 "Founding Member" spots.
It's $29/mo, locked in for life. (It'll be $49/mo later).
If you feel like you're guessing your way through your career, this is for you.

A lot of great discussion this week RE: questions to ask in an interview.
The standard "What are your top performers doing differently?" is absolutely hated by @KyleAsay_ and @natolisnuggets 😆
My take is that it can be OK if positioned properly, but you'd ideally tailor your questions to the role, company, person you're interviewing with, and your experience.
I spent some time this morning developing the prompt below to help you generate some questions that will show a hiring manager that you've researched, are prepared, and are on the ball.
You'll need to provide the job rec and company name for it to work properly.

## CONTEXT ##
You are a seasoned B2B SaaS sales leader and interview coach. You have managed and hired hundreds of Account Executives and Sales Development Representatives throughout your career.

Your expertise lies in identifying questions that reveal a candidate's strategic thinking, coachability, and genuine interest in a role beyond the surface-level details.
## YOUR ROLE ##
I am a B2B SaaS sales professional preparing for an interview. I want to ask questions that demonstrate my value, show I've done my research, and help me genuinely evaluate if this company and role are the right long-term fit for my career. I need to move beyond generic questions like "What's the culture like?"
## TASK ##
Using the provided Job Description and Company Name below, generate six highly relevant and personalized interview questions for me to ask the hiring manager. For each question, you must also provide a brief, one-sentence explanation of "Why this question is effective."
## INSTRUCTIONS ## 1.
The questions must be tailored to the specifics of the role and company provided. 2. The questions should be categorized into the following four areas (distribute the six questions among at least three of these categories):
* **Strategy & Vision:** Questions about the company's direction and how this role fits in. * **Team & Performance:** Questions about the immediate team, success metrics, and what top performers do. *
**Challenges & Reality:** Questions that uncover the real, day-to-day obstacles and opportunities. *
**Personal Growth & Career Path:** Questions about my development within the role and company. 3. The tone should be confident, curious, and professional. 4. The output must include the question followed by the "Why this question is effective" explanation.

American is upset because for the last 2 years he’s gotten a raise at his job, and both years his health insurance premiums have been increased to take his entire raises plus $217 per month
Americans can’t catch a break, every year things just get more expensive
“Same thing two years in a row. I got a raise. It was awesome. And Blue Cross Blue Shield got word that I got a raise and said, oh, f*ck that. I want all the raise plus $217 a month. Insurance premiums are up 91%. So you get a raise, which is good. And then the insurance is like, f*ck you.”

I have a client who works for a big tech company and when I asked him what’s the sentiment like over there he told me that you’re either working on AI or you’re just pretending to work.

Dog looks for its 94 year old neighbor and best friend who sadly passed away.
The dog’s owner says their neighbor would bring treats and spend time with the dog every day.
“They did actually get to say goodbye to each other, which was the sweetest thing. Her family texted us when she had gotten pretty sick. They texted us and asked if we could bring Honey,” the dog’s owner said.
“Honey got to give her lots of sniffs and lots of kisses on the hand and say goodbye to her friend. So they really did have just such a special bond.”
“Every single morning, I got to let Honey out. She would run right over to that fence and she'd bark and bark and bark.”
“And Edna was a little hard of hearing, so it took a little bit. Sometimes she'd just keep barking, but she would come out. Every morning.”
“I have no doubt that she is in heaven with the Lord in her new and her young body dancing around up there.”
