Career & Hustle Tips 💼

Skill Stacking: Build Unstoppable Career Leverage

Most people try to become the “best” at one thing, but that’s a hard, long game. The faster path? Combine two or three complementary skills to create a rare mix that sets you apart. You don’t need to be world-class at each skill; you just need to be good enough at several that, together, make you unique.

Here’s how to apply it this week:

• Identify your base skill: What’s your strongest or most marketable skill right now?

• Add a complementary edge: Choose one new skill that amplifies it (public speaking, data analysis, storytelling, negotiation).

• Invest in quick wins: Take a micro-course, read a book, or practice for 30 minutes a day.

🔍 Tip: Careers don’t skyrocket just from depth - they skyrocket from combination. Start stacking skills now to multiply your opportunities.

This Week in AI 🤖

Meta Whistleblowers Expose Child Safety Failings

Two former Meta employees have testified before Congress, alleging the company suppressed research showing its virtual reality platforms expose minors to sexual solicitation, bullying, and grooming. According to the whistleblowers, Meta shelved internal programs like “Project Salsa,” which had been designed to create safer digital experiences for tweens, after legal teams raised liability concerns. They say the company routinely deprioritized safety studies that might harm growth, leaving young users vulnerable across its VR and AI products. Meta has publicly denied wrongdoing but faces mounting bipartisan scrutiny on Capitol Hill.

The testimony has added fresh momentum to calls for stricter oversight of social platforms and AI-driven environments frequented by minors. Lawmakers are weighing new rules on data collection, content moderation, and parental controls, while advocacy groups urge mandatory transparency around safety research. With multiple state attorneys general already investigating Meta’s child-protection practices, the company now finds itself at the center of an intensifying national debate over tech accountability and youth safety.
