Course overview
The truth about how hires are actually chosen and what that means for you.
If the CIA had a course on how to interview, this would be it.
There are patterns and reasons behind how hiring really works, but these reasons are rooted much deeper than most people realize or teach. This course goes beyond the tactics of "good answers" down into the actual mechanics of how winning in interviews really works. If you're tired of basic tips and tricks and want to have your eyes opened, that's what Interview Mastery is all about.
Hiring is actually about how people's brains evaluate who they trust, who they like, who they feel they understand, who they connect with, what worries them, excites them, and who their biases are comfortable with.
Hiring isn't just about skills, fit, and the job. It's much deeper, and much more human than that.
This course covers the truths the interviewers don't even know about themselves. You will learn the truth behind how people think and how they make decisions, making you top 0.1% in communicating, differentiating yourself, and landing the job.
If you saw me on Lenny's podcast, you know a little bit about my background in behavioral science and how it helped me win as a multi-time entrepreneur. What I want to share with you in this course is how to win at interviews by powerfully connecting with people's brains, not just doing the surface stuff every other candidate does.
You'll understand things nobody else knows. You'll understand exactly how the interviewers' minds work. You'll understand how you are seen through their eyes. And you'll understand what you might be getting wrong and what you need to start getting right. This course won't just help you today...it will help you stand out in every interview you have for the rest of your life, changing the trajectory of your whole career.

What makes this course different?
Built on real brain science. Learn how the hiring manager's evaluation "circuitry" inside their brain actually works.
Learn how to tailor your message. Different people need a different message from you. Instantly recognize the Operator, Craftsperson, or Visionary across the table and adjust your approach on the fly.
Mindset-based storytelling. Don't just talk about your past and your results...learn to describe your ultimate differentiator: the unique, compelling mind behind your experiences.
Diagnostic toolkit. Take the mystery out of your struggles...you’ll isolate why you're having challenges and learn how to fix it without sacrificing your authenticity.
Two hidden levers less than 1% of interviewees know about. You’ll learn about the two blind spots that quietly undermine you in interviews...insights no one teaches.

What you’ll get out of this course
Learn the two key fail points most people mess up.
There are two keys to the interviewing process that almost nobody knows. Without these keys, most people interviewing accidentally make themselves less unique, less understood, and less desirable in the interview process.
Learn to tailor your approach to the audience.
Every person you interview with is a different person with a different personality, yet most candidates say the same things to everyone. This leads to mixed reactions. Learn how to quickly tell what kind of person you're speaking to and how to speak in language that resonates.
Understand the brain science behind why they'll choose you.
You aren't just having discussions with the people you're interviewing with...deeper down, you are causing reactions in their brains that make them subconsciously decide whether or not you're the right person. If you're creating the wrong reactions, winning is impossible.
Crush the opening and set the stage: "Tell me about yourself..."
The opening question of most interviews sets the stage for the whole conversation. Learn how to open strong, setting the tone for you to be understood, remembered, and differentiated. It is impossible to get hired if you can't get interviews started strong.
Build a framework for reflection and improvement
For people who have been interviewing for a while, it can be confusing to understand what might be going wrong and what, exactly, to work on. In this course, you'll learn how to accurately analyze your track record and spot exactly what you need to learn and implement.
Understand fit
The concept of fit is important in both directions. You need to show how you are a fit for the role and the company, but you also need to know what you can expect once you get there so you can make the best decision for you.
Sell yourself so well, you'll actually be allowed to do your job
It can feel like getting the job is the goal, but once you're there, are you going to truly have permission and a platform to do great work, rack up wins, and grow? Surprisingly, the permission to do great work starts during the interview process.
Have a medium and long-term game plan
This course is going to help you get your next job, of course. But it's also going to help you get every job you'll ever get. At the end of the course, we'll talk about the importance of seeing the next job as a big step in an even bigger journey.

I founded several companies. Sold the last one to Adobe. Now, I help people win.
I've been successfully selling myself, my team, my products, and ideas for a long time, supercharged by psychology and behavioral science. I sold my last company to Adobe and have since been coaching hundreds of people from founders to product people to analytics, UX, and more how to stand out, achieve peak performance, build incredible cultures, create ideal teaming dynamics, and be understood, appreciated, and valued.
You might have seen my episode on Lenny's Podcast, where we discussed fundamentals of how the mind works, and how that applies to product work and more. I help people win, specifically great humans who feel purpose in their work. When they win, everyone wins.
