Do you feel trapped by a dream *you* built? Carlos Gil once believed he would thrive as an entrepreneur. He thought it was the ultimate American dream… Until he opened his own business and truly understood the grind, and he’s not here to glamorize it. “It felt more like trap than it felt like a freedom,” he says. For Gil, real freedom isn’t about big exits or dollar signs. It’s peace. “Peace with who you are, what you’re doing, and who you’re surrounding yourself with.” So he decided to close his business. His message to entrepreneurs wrestling with the decision to keep going: 👉 It’s okay to walk away. 👉 It’s okay to go back to what got you here. 👉 It doesn’t matter what people think of you.

Generally, no app builder wants to turn away too many prospects at the front door. You usually want to minimize initial friction and then walk them through. But what if the success of your app relies, first and foremost, on the quality of your users? Justin McLeod, CEO and founder of the dating app Hinge, says the app loses 20% of prospective users during the onboarding process. And that’s on purpose. Hinge wants to filter out people who aren't looking for deeper connections or aren’t willing to do the work. Justin wants to attract a particular demographic: "They’re here because they wanna get off dating apps." "We use the word 'intentional daters' — people who wanna put in thoughtful effort because they’re looking for a real result," Justin explains. "It’s definitely this constant honing of how do you make people a little bit more authentic and put in a little bit more without turning them off and discouraging them."

The decades-long work to solidify diversity, equity and inclusion (#DEI) practices into the foundation of U.S. business practices saw incredible progress over the past five years. In fact, DEI roles appeared on LinkedIn's annual Jobs on the Rise list more than once since 2020. In the face of political and legal pressure, several employers on this year's LinkedIn's Top Companies list have changed their approach to this work over the past year. Jenn Tardy, a LinkedIn Top Voice and author of The Equity Edge, told LinkedIn News that these changes can result in job seekers needing to go above and beyond what they did before during the hiring process.You can read more about this topic in a special piece from LinkedIn News #GetHired Editor Andrew Seaman here: https://lnkd.in/dP8wxgcc Additionally, you can see all of the U.S. LinkedIn Top Companies here: https://lnkd.in/USTopCompanies25 #LinkedInTopCompanies

Think you might be experiencing burnout? Amanda Miller Littlejohn knows a trick to help you spot it from a mile away. “Burnout is when your nervous system kind of goes into this unchecked overdrive where you can't process. It's like a computer, I liken it to a computer having too many tabs open and overheating,” she says. Amanda is a career coach and the author of “The Rest Revolution.” This week on #HelloMondayPodcast, she revealed the biggest indicator of burnout and overwork. “ For most of the clients that I have coached and seen, burnout for them looks like a loss of joy, a loss of creativity. For me, that's absolutely how it shows up. I'm a very creative person, so when I can't access my own creativity, I know that I'm in a bad place.” For some practical ways to combat burnout every day, check out the full episode below.
