The Missing Manual: Documentation for the Doers
In the world of work, there are the skills that get you the job, and then there’s the tradecraft required to actually build. Hosted by Julia Levy (Fortune 500 Talent Acquisition Executive) and Jenny Cotie Kangas (Future of Work Disruptor), this is an unscripted deep-dive into the high-stakes execution that doesn't come with an instruction book.
We go beyond "career hacks" to provide a forensic look at organizational navigation and institutional tradecraft. From the mechanics of a multi-million dollar RFP to the front lines of Agentic AI and Talent Operations, we explore how the corporate machine actually moves so you can build within it effectively.
What we document:
The Future of Work: Moving beyond the "cracked" resume infrastructure and into Agentic AI handoffs.Organizational Mechanics: Navigating the "unwritten rules" of cross-functional execution and budget defense.Operational Strategy: Using Design Thinking and lean execution to save work from failure.We don't believe in "easy buttons." We believe in the hard, intentional work of building something that lasts. If you are a builder looking for the map to the modern corporate landscape, this is your manual.
