The internet has made talent borderless, but has opportunity caught up?
Because being globally visible and having global access are two very different things.

Excited to be part of this conversation!
I'll be joining other creatives to explore what it means to build a global creative career without leaving your home country.
Can talent truly transcend borders? Let's talk!
Tonight, 9 PM WAT. See you there!
๐ CAN YOU BECOME A GLOBAL CREATIVE WITHOUT LEAVING YOUR COUNTRY?
Does location still matter in todayโs creative economy?
Can a filmmaker in Nigeria compete globally?
Can a photographer in a small city get international recognition?
Can talent, creativity and the internet truly break geographical barriers?
Or does where you come from still determine how far you can go?
Weโre bringing creatives together to discuss the opportunities, limitations, and realities of building a global creative career from anywhere in the world.

Let's talk about rejection. ๐ญ
What's your most painful job rejection?
A. Immediate rejection
B. After an assessment
C. After an interview
D. Ghosted after you felt sure
E. Something else
I'll go first: I've had enough rejections to write a book. ๐
And I did.

One thing I wish someone had told me earlier about job rejection would be:
Not every rejection means you're not qualified.
Sometimes you're simply not the right fit.
Sometimes someone else was a better fit.
Sometimes the company had an internal candidate.

And that can be dangerous.
Because if you interpret every rejection as a judgment of your worth, you start trying to โbecome betterโ when you might actually need to change your strategy.
So I'm curious:

I once joked that with the number of rejections I had gotten, I could write a book.
This was sometime last year or maybe the year before. I honestly don't remember exactly when.
I just remember being so tired of getting rejected that the only thing I could do was laugh about it

the reason has very little to do with how hard you're working.
That realization changed the way I approached applications, remote work and opportunities generally.
And funny enough, that old joke eventually became reality.
I did write the book.

Before you send another 20 job applications, look at the last 10.
Ask yourself:
1. How many got a response?
2. How many moved to the next stage?
3. Where did most of them stop?
4. Were the roles actually aligned with your experience?
5. Was your application showing evidence of

Hot take:
If you've applied to 100 jobs with no results, โapply to more jobsโ may be the worst advice.
Not because applying more is bad, but because you might be repeating the same mistake 100 times.
Sometimes the problem isn't your effort. It's where you're putting it.
