What does it really take to land a job at companies like Meta and Twitter in today's cutthroat market? A former big brand recruiter, Keiyana Arnold, pulls back the curtain on hiring practices that most job seekers never see, delivering eye-opening insights that will transform your approach to career advancement.

"This job market is a dumpster fire, a shark tank," Keiyana reveals with refreshing candor. Drawing from her decade of experience at tech giants including Meta, Twitter, and CNN, she explains why mass-applying to positions is a losing strategy. Behind the scenes, recruiters face impossible volumes, sometimes thousands of applications daily for a single role, forcing them to rely on filtering systems and referrals that leave most applicants completely unseen.

The game-changing revelation? Your resume matters far less than your network and visibility. Keiyana shares how LinkedIn has become the ultimate career advancement platform, with the algorithm heavily favoring the mere 30% of users who create content. "I still get employers in my DM asking me for interviews every week," she notes, demonstrating how strategic online presence translates to real opportunities.

Beyond tactical advice, Keiyana shares the personal health crisis that transformed her relationship with work and led to founding Professional Love Letters, her coaching business helping professionals navigate career transitions. This powerful story underscores her holistic approach to career development, one that prioritizes wellness alongside professional advancement.

For listeners feeling stuck or invisible in their job search, Keiyana's practical guidance offers a clear path forward. Her FIDE app community "Ask a Recruiter Anything" provides direct access to expert advice, with success stories flowing in regularly from members who've implemented her strategies.

Are you ready to stop getting filtered out and start standing out? This conversation will fundamentally change how you approach your career journey.

Dreaming of writing a book but have no idea where to start? You're not alone. In this eye-opening conversation with book coach Allison Lane, we dive deep into the realities of publishing that most aspiring authors never learn until it's too late.

Allison, whose impressive career spans from dressing as a burrito for PR stunts to leading communications for brands like Pepsi, Unilever, and Burt's Bees, shatters common misconceptions about the publishing journey. Her most surprising revelation? "Don't write your whole book! Nobody wants to read your manuscript." What publishers actually want is a business plan for your book, proving you understand its market potential and your role in making it successful.

With trademark candor and humor, Allison explains how the publishing world really works. Traditional publishers require agents and pay advances (which she advises keeping modest), hybrid publishers offer more partnership opportunities, and self-publishing gives complete control at the cost of handling everything yourself. But regardless of path, one truth remains: you must be ready to market yourself and your book.

The conversation takes a fascinating turn when Allison discusses personal branding. Contrary to popular belief, your book doesn't create your personal brand, your established expertise should come first. "You cannot emerge from a hole in the ground with a book," she warns. Instead, she advises building visibility in your field through speaking, media contributions, and online presence before approaching publishers.

Whether you're a corporate professional looking to expand your influence, an entrepreneur wanting to showcase your expertise, or simply someone with valuable knowledge to share, this episode provides the insider perspective needed to approach publishing strategically and successfully. Allison's practical advice on everything from book proposals to AI tools for content creation will save you years of frustration and dramatically increase your chances of publishing success.

What if self-doubt could be your greatest ally in pursuing a life of meaningful impact? That's a hint of insight you'll gain from my conversation with Penny Locaso, a groundbreaking behavioral scientist and impact expert. On episode #118 of the 2B Bolder Podcast, Penny shares her inspiring journey from a successful career in the oil and gas industry to founding HackingHappyco, which is a testament to the power of bold decisions and authenticity. She shares how leaving a long-term relationship and corporate job led her to redefine success through personal fulfillment and impact, all while single-handedly raising her son.

Penny opens up about the pesky persistence of self-doubt and how it often masquerades as fear in moments that don't actually pose any threat. Drawing from her experiences, like delivering a TED Talk and securing a book deal, Penny illustrates the importance of taking bold steps and forging relationships outside one's comfort zone. The shift from a corporate giant like Shell to entrepreneurship required her to unlearn certain habits and embrace adaptability, shedding light on how corporate skills can hinder and propel a successful business journey and emphasizing the importance of self-awareness.

Penny provides invaluable strategies for building a personal brand with resilience and micro bravery. We explore the realities of entrepreneurship as a numbers game, where facing rejection is par for the course, but persistence and alignment with one's goals lead to true impact. Penny's candid reflection on setbacks is a powerful reminder that perseverance is the cornerstone of meaningful change. Join us to uncover how embracing risk and resilience can lead to greater impact and personal fulfillment.

Alongside her entrepreneurial endeavors, Penny is the published author of Hacking Happiness, a contributor to the Harvard Business Review, a passionate yoga teacher, a faculty member at the esteemed Singularity University, and a student completing her Graduate Diploma in Psychology.

Meet Gisele Marcus, a leadership dynamo whose remarkable journey from Harlem to Harvard Business School epitomizes what it means to be bold in pursuing excellence. Growing up in what she affectionately calls "old Harlem," Gisele was raised in a household where excellence wasn't just encouraged—it was required. This foundation propelled her through Syracuse University, into a Harvard MBA program, and ultimately to becoming a TEDx speaker and respected operations executive.

What makes Gisele's story particularly powerful is her candid admission about learning the true value of networking at age 39. "I wish someone would have told me earlier that excellence alone doesn't guarantee career advancement," she reflects. After following a sponsor's networking advice during an international assignment, Gisele returned to find not just one job opportunity awaiting her, but eleven. This revelation transformed her understanding of career development and now forms the cornerstone of her guidance to other women.

Throughout our conversation, Gisele shares game-changing insights about political astuteness in the workplace, creating a compelling personal brand (hers: "I make organizations hum"), building a career portfolio that showcases your full range of talents, and embracing AI while developing the emotional intelligence that technology can't replicate. For women facing career pivots—whether by choice or circumstance—she offers practical strategies for identifying transferable skills and enlisting friends or coaches to help you see strengths you might miss in yourself.

Perhaps most inspiringly, Gisele defines boldness as "taking that extra step when you're questioning yourself," reminding us that for women, there's no such thing as being "too bold." Whether you're just starting your career journey or looking to make your next strategic move, this episode offers both the practical tools and the mindset shifts needed to truly show up and be bolder in all aspects of your professional life.
