want to give a shout out to @benln and his community at next play. i was able to connect with an AI meetup organizer in amsterdam that is hosting a meet up on tuesday that now @torcdotdev is sponsoring:) also going to have lunch with a technical co founder looking to hire power of community!!

this is going to be niche but….anyone else on northern soul dancing tiktok? 😂😂😂

this is why cross posting to every platform is so huge i was just 'tweeting' up until about 3 months ago and then i started to use buffer to post across twitter, threads, and bluesky and there is a considerable uptick

ive had a few people tell me my vision for the community at torc is too big/too crazy that means its exactly the vision i want:)

If you're an Engineer Manager in the beginning of their career, this could be a solid next career move for you! www.lifeatspotify.com/jobs/enginee...

just dropped my newsletter! its becoming a bi weekly thing instead of weekly. the tldr: -my recs as of late (if you struggle with sleep i have something for you) -torc community updates -my marketing hot take on the importance of collabs esp in b2b -content recs https://buff.ly/4hN2H3M

docu style content bb

dropped some thoughts on why everyone from dtc to b2b companies need community and what is community to me

the feedback from this vlog has been tremendous alot of folks have reached out to me saying 'we've been wanting to do this with our company' if you haven't watched it yet

idk who but someone at insight global was talking about me bc i just got a slew of connections on linkedin 😂

ive started a new marketing/content 'voicenote' channel (im not calling it a podcast) lol talked for 4 min and 53 seconds yesterday about the importance of being in the zeitgiest

just unbelievably excited to be heading to amsterdam monday to speak at @devworld_conf first time speaking internationally. beyond grateful.

i officially made it on tiktok i made 37 cents from my live this morning

biggest mistake everyone makes going to conferences? no follow up.

pretty pumped to go live with the GOAT @aarondfrancis at 930 am cst this morning well be live on all my platforms so yes on x see yall in 45 minutes!

i get a lot of questions on 'what is torc' the tldr -we are a community built by devs for devs -we actually have a search/match tool that is being used internally across all randstad to match candidates faster -we are our own staffing/talent solutions company and have our own clients we staff

my podcast with @iamwix dropped about getting into tech when you dont have the experience 👀 👀

denver techies!! torc is in town with @tasonjorres and there will be some torc merch;) yall better show up!

listen the bar is low but with this new torc.dev redesign were going to try to treat people the right way.

got this text this morning from a friend. i agree. thoughts?

we have our dads in tech virtual meetup today!! https://buff.ly/4gwj4jP but also its pretty sweet to see torc next to sentry as a primary sponsor for guild 😍

bc my tweet yesterday was confusing lol me and the @torcdotdev team will be at all things open AI in raleigh next month i have a 25% off code. if you want to come hang with me and the team and want the code dm me.

the reason why you should go ahead and sign up on the torc platform is not only do you have the chance to get called about jobs we get but then have the chance to get called about randstad tech jobs too. torc is a 15 mil rev company...RD is a bajillion dollar company so more opps

just dropped another short voice note about the importance of collaborations

so guidance counselor 2.0 isnt going anywhere im very bullish on helping people on the job search but after building brand and social content for 4 years im starting a VERY short form podcast where i just dump my thoughts. if you want short/unedited thoughts on marketing:

anyone going to attend or THINKING about attending all things open AI in raleigh next month? i have a 25% off code. dm me.

😂😂

dads in tech is this week!! got our virtual meetup and some other in person meetups that have popped up! check it!!

me and @paulienah had the chance to catch up twice lately. our first session dropped on friday. this was a great conversation why community first orgs are going to be the leaders in the clubhouse for a long time.

the latest @torc.dev build in public vlog is up!! some highlights: -18 degrees is too cold to walk the city in thin pants -if we can pull off this redesign the way we want it, we will do something no one has done in the talent industry youtu.be/DNm6D9LLCw0?...

just had a ceo of a design firm reach out to me saying that they sent my vlog to their head of marketing saying 'we have been talking about doing more of this' im telling yall. documentary led content is going to win in the b2b world. bc everyone is tired of your terrible canva posts

ill continue to say this. if we pull off what we are talking about with this new torc redesign. we are going to do something special. vlog dropped today go check in on my youtube.

i tell my team all the time that we are the 'face' of @torcdotdev the way people interact with the brand flows through us something i do not take lightly

FOUR NATIONS USA VS CANADA INJECT THIS INTO MY VEINS

showed my wife the new torc community merch even she was like 'okay imma need that' 😏 😏
