    8 Years Ago I Hit Publish: The Leap of Faith That Became Intentional Career Design

    8 years ago, I hit publish on this.

    I had just resigned from Amazon with no backup plan, just a vision and a whole lot of faith.

    Everyone thought I was crazy.

    Why would anyone leave one of the most powerful companies in the world?

    But I wasn't chasing safety. I was chasing purpose.

    I knew I was meant to do something bigger than fill reqs.

    I wanted to transform how people find meaningful work. To make hiring more human. To help brilliant people stop being overlooked. To build something that didn't exist yet.

    8 years later, that leap of faith became Intentional Career Design.

    It became my book. My business. My calling.

    It became every client who now lands six-figure offers without ever applying.

    It became the proof that trusting your gut can change your whole life.

    So if you're standing at your own cliff right now, wondering if it's time to leap - this is your sign.
