Life lesson from my pops
When I was a kid and asked my dad for…well anything, his response was always the same: “That’s stuff. You don’t need more stuff.”
Instead he made me work at his pharmacy for minimum wage. The old “if you learn the value of money you can buy whatever you want.”
I’d argue the real lesson came from buying crap I didn’t need. Spend your hard earned cash on an awful video game (looking at you, Super Mario 2), that’s time wasted. TWICE.
Which brings me to the wild world of recruitment tech. (Or any vertical.)
Do we need another job board? Referral tool? Background check system? LinkedIn Recruiter clone? ATS?
That’s stuff. We don’t need more stuff.
At least not the same stuff that’s ever so slightly different than what we already have.
Because that’s time wasted, twice.
Innovation is hard. Shout out to anyone trying to do something actually new.
(Come to think of it, we probably do need a functioning ATS…)

Repeat after me: do not talk politics at work. Or on LinkedIn.
Or in job interviews. Or on first dates. Or at Thanksgiving dinner.
Unfortunately for those of us in the business world, 2025 ruined it. There’s just no way around the fact that tariffs are the issue driving the business climate right now. Every client, candidate, and partner is asking about it—or struggling because of it.
So maybe, just maybe, talking policy isn’t just okay—it’s necessary. Dare I say, productive.
So get ready for a little nuance from Jeff Smith and James Hornick in The 10 Minute Talent Rant, Episode 107, “Talk Policy, Not Politics”
