If you’re reading this newsletter, you’re likely in one of two camps:
You signed up for the Job Offer System or downloaded The Escape Plan
You joined my weekly Escape Velocity newsletter
If you’re here just for job tips, feel free to scroll to the bottom and unsubscribe.
No hard feelings. I mean that.
But if you’re still here — here’s what really happened.
What Really Happened
For the last 8 weeks, I’ve been documenting a full identity shift in real time.
I quit my $350K job at Google.
Started over.
Launched digital products. Made over $2,300 online.
And in 2 hours, I board a one-way flight to Japan.
Somewhere along the way, things exploded.
This newsletter now goes out to 8,200+ people, mostly thanks to the Job Offer System.
But with that growth came overwhelm.
What am I really building here?
This question, coupled with the chaos of daily content, 50 Days to $1K, and moving out, held me back from writing for over two weeks.
The newsletter grew because of job content.
But when I write, that’s not where my heart is.
These last two days, I finally sat down and got clear.
This is not a job-hunting newsletter.
I’m not here to help polish your resume or walk you through LeetCode prep.
This is about breaking free from the life you didn’t choose - and building the one you actually want.
It’s about reclaiming autonomy.
Rewriting identity.
Designing a life around freedom, wealth, and meaning.
Landing a high-paying job might be a tactical step on your journey.
It certainly was for me.
That’s why I built the Job Offer System and made it free.
Because jobs can be a powerful stepping stone. But they’re not the destination.
This newsletter is not the place for job content - and it never will be.
That’s the line in the sand.
What’s Next
Starting this week, I’m back to weekly Escape Velocity emails. Now every Thursday.
Here’s what to expect:
Freedom design — how to escape the 9-to-5 and find your infinite game
Money systems & mental models — to create optionality and leverage
Identity shifts & action steps — to drive long-term transformation
AI leverage — how I used it to build my audience, and how to future proof yourself before it’s too late
If that sounds good, just hit reply and say: “Got it.”
It helps the email gods know I’m not spam and lets me know you’re reading (I read every reply.)
Coming Next: 50 Days in 5 Minutes
Next Thursday’s edition is titled:
“50 Days of Lessons in 5 Minutes.”
A distilled, honest recap of what I learned by publicly launching from zero, and growing a 40k+ audience and over $1,800 in revenue during 50 Days to $1K.
If you followed my challenge, this one’s for you.
Thanks for being here.
Talk soon,
Jim
