Synergies & How Can I Help?

(Originally published on December 18, 2022)

So, the other evening I could not sleep and I was thinking about the website and what to do next. I've really enjoyed having the ability to write here and express my thoughts on whatever topic I like, but I envision more for this page and I would love to help build in a way that can benefit others as well as myself.

This whole idea started as a way to focus my energy and attention into something productive during the winter months. I can attest it has been successful thus far in that goal. I think that it can be more, though.

A lot of people right now are struggling through the holiday season. Rather it be emotionally, financially, physically, spiritually, or otherwise, you never know what others are going through. Be understanding and lead with empathy. It's easier said than done, but I truly believe we can make a difference if we try to keep that in focus.

To that end, here is what came to me as an idea & I am writing it as a blog post to try to gather feedback. I can better spell out my vision in long form and I am curious if there would be demand for this concept.

I want to create a page where your resume can be listed. This would not be a job board in a traditional sense, as it wouldn't contain any way for you to apply to a position. Maybe someday, that concept could be added, but that is not the original vision. Instead, I would like to create a resource where a resume can be posted anonymously.

I would maintain contact information for each listing and create a way for the resumes to be reviewed. The idea here is that it could provide a place for the network of entrepreneurs, investors, intellectuals, and others to seek talent for their project. This could be of value to a small business owner, project founder, or anyone who is at the very lonely first stages of going out on their own to start a business.

Being able to utilize the scalability and value that the internet provides to help the growth potential of whatever it is you invest your time into is essential, especially during such harsh times across the globe. In times like these, much of what we turn to is community and those around us to continue to support our efforts and spirits in difficult times. For that reason, I want to be of value to those in the Depressive Hacks community and do my best to create synergies that can help others, as that's really one of my biggest strengths.

I will continue to work to expand my network and find more areas where I can be of use to others, through Depressive Hacks and in my own actual life. Should this idea for a resume archive be in demand, I will begin by creating my own freelance resume and posting it on the site as a trial. I would be happy to lend my skills set to help others and am always happy to listen to an opportunity. I envision the ability to give better recommendations to others as I learn more about the real life skills of my network and what types of things can be brought to the table and are in demand for others. As a freelancer myself who works a multitude of jobs, as well as an investor, I believe I am in a unique position to see ways that I can pair things together to create positive change. I try to do this as much as I can with synergies I find in my regular life and I am excited to try to bring this practice to web3 and the Depressive Hacks brand.

Please feel free to reach out with feedback and I look forward to the thoughts of my readers. Nothing but the best wishes for you all this time of year and always.
