I'm Lindsay Mustain, and this is the career design podcast made for driven ambitious square pegs and round holes type professionals who see things differently and challenge the status quo. We obliterate obstacles and unlock hidden pathways to overcome and succeed where others have not stagnation feels like death. And we are unwilling to compromise our integrity and settle for being average in any way. We are the backbone of any successful business and those who overlook our potential are doomed to a slow demise. We do work that truly matters aligns with our purpose, and in turn, we make our lasting mark on the world. We are the dreamers, doers, legends and visionaries who are called to make our most meaningful contribution and love what we do.

Welcome to the Career Design Podcast guys, I have a special edition for you because right now we have to interrupt our scheduling program to give you an alert, (alert sound) Yes, that's my alert to tell you that you are officially entering the hottest candidate market that has existed of all time. All right, so let's break that down. And what that means to you. All right, for the first time, candidates finally have the power in the negotiation conversation or their candidacy as top talent. Now, let me break that down. top talent versus commodity talent. We'll break that down a little bit here. But top talent is blowing up. And I want to tell you like how how big this is. Just last week, I said we've negotiated a million dollars for people over the last month or so, guys, the calculations came out today in the last 45 days we've negotiated up this is an additional add to your bottom line salary, we've added 1.5 million, 1.5 million to the bottom line, to the bottom line. So imagine just adding like that kind of money to people's lives that also looks like over $100,000 on average, more than $100,000 for our clients are graduating (graduating meaning they've accepted a job offer right now). All right, so why I'm telling you this, it means it's time to get your like act together and I say that with love because you might have been sitting on this and you know if you've ever gone back and like Gosh, I wish I would have invested in Bitcoin or pot stock in Starbucks. Guys, we are in the same thing right now is the time where you are just leaving money on the table. If you are not using the tools, right, now's the time to uplevel your skills into top talent and to go out into the job market. It's like saying, yeah, no pass, I don't really like money. And let's be really clear here. It's not money that we're looking for what we're looking for truly is freedom and resources to help take care of our family. So I want you to get out of your head, I talk about money. But if you've ever listened to me for more than a hot second, you know, I care about finding your purpose and doing work that you love. It just happens to be both of those things that we can get you so get to go to work excited, energized, motivated, and we can get you lots of money on top of it. Now this I think we call that a win win. Okay. Now, why is this happening? Well, COVID changed the game and you know, I know that COVID was very hard, and we lost a lot of life there. But we also gained a lot of freedom as a society because we learned all the things all these antiquated, outmoded ideas where we can't work from home or, you know, we have to recruit locally, we turned this like old industry now into an innovative machine in order to even survive, they had to, they had to pivot they had to evolve in order to thrive. Now, the top employers out there, they're recruiting top talent and understanding that they have to do what's right to attract and hire the best talent. So some people are like, Well, I'm not seeing that. And I'm like, anecdotally I asked here about three weeks ago, if this was the hottest job market, like I did a social media survey. And 89% of the recruiters 89% of the recruiters came back and said it was it was the hottest job market that has ever existed. Now, like let's look at supply and demand, the current availability of talent and the current number of jobs, there are more jobs than there are people now if we think about this, and like the housing market, when there are more. Let's see there's less houses and a lot more buyers, which is what's happening right now, what happens with the price? Well, it goes up a lot substantially exponentially if you've ever been in a bidding war, which I have for property. The same thing goes with top talent, okay, the law of supply and demand applies right now. And I just interviewed with CNBC and they said are we have How far are we into this? And I'm like, this is a long haul situation. So right right now this is your time to move and if you do this, right, you can capitalize on increasing your salary now and if it makes sense in just a little bit of time to move on to the next thing because there's more opportunity out there, then you are going to go for that too. But the thing is, people are going to lose out on opportunity unless they do something. Okay. So this is where I want to tell you about what I have done about it. Because, again, just like my business needs to pivot and evolve, I realized, gosh, guys, if I can teach you some of these things about what's happening in the marketplace, if you want to go deeper, if this has been just fascinating to you, I'm teaching a masterclass. Okay, the masterclass is called corporate cash machine, I'm going to show you exactly how to unlock the secret to these $100,000 pay raises. And not just that, remember, we're talking about going deeper into doing work that's really meaningful, because chasing a salary alone will 100% kill your soul. So what we're really going to be diving deep into is really transforming your job search. And we're gonna go into the first thing, the intentional career design blueprint, the this you've heard, this is called the career design podcast. You've heard me talk about this. But this simple system, it's how my clients, on average, increase their salary by 53 to over $100,000 in just nine weeks, just nine weeks. Okay. The next thing we're gonna talk about is the marketability mindset method. And this is a critical methodology to effectively communication sorry, communicate your skills and experience to get recruiters and hiring managers it interviewers literally banging down your door throwing money at you and begging you to work for their company. Can you imagine how crazy that would be? Yeah, it's not a imagination. I mean, this is what happens with our clients. And then the third thing is what we call the purple squirrel workshop. This is how we instantly shift into the candidate of choice. And you're going to walk away from this part of our masterclass knowing exactly what to do to get results fast. Without any unnecessary and bogus higher education costs. That means no PMP or MBA needed. They're selling you something telling you to break through right now. We are picking up talent, we don't need you to have those things. Okay. And guys, I'll be honest, it's always been like that if you understood how to position as top talent, but right now you have market leverage on your side. And the last thing we're gonna be doing is q&a, like literal hotseat coaching, okay, and I'll be honest here at the very end of the day, you cannot buy anything for me this is completely education and transformation. I hope you don't mind if I give back and over deliver a little bit here because you might know the majority of my business I do completely for free. The reason why I have a shift in my mind of changing how talent looks at themselves and making their bigger impact in the world. So this is a leave your wallet at home kind of situation. I absolutely want you to come and I want you to come with an open heart and open mind be coachable. I want you to fill out all of the information I've given you when you go through the masterclass and we're gonna actually do an exercise is like you're going to get to fully immersive with me. So you understand how to use this market to your advantage. So if you want to be a part of this incredible masterclass four hours, we get to hang out super dive deep into this entire process. Go to corporate cash machine.com I can't wait to see you there. It's gonna be epic. Looking forward to it.
