The EasyEnigma Journal: Behind the Scenes

there's a defining moment in every junior employee’s career. a moment you realize the "safe" path you were promised is the riskiest path of all. i learned this firsthand working for a large, successful corporation. on paper, it was the perfect job. but i saw something that fundamentally changed my perspective. i watched incredibly talented, loyal employees dedicate years of their lives to the company, only to be laid off in a heartbeat to "optimize shareholder value." that’s when i understood the illusion of the corporate safety net. your loyalty is an expendable line item on a spreadsheet. that realization wasn't a call to "rage quit." it was a call to start building my own safety net. one that i owned. one that was based on my own skills and my own efforts. this is the genesis of my brand, EasyEnigma. for years, i was a "part-time founder." learning skills, testing ideas, and failing repeatedly in my off-hours. my greatest weakness wasn...

It was like having a conversation with my 18-year-old self. and while outlining the entire blueprint, one single, powerful lesson kept hitting me over and over again. it's the real secret. the one thing that separates those who succeed from those who fail.
