The rules of hiring have changed. Layoffs, AI, and oversaturation have made traditional interviews useless, yet most professionals are still playing by the old rules.
In this episode, Kyle Jerome Carter (KJC) breaks down why the classic job interview is dead and how ambitious professionals can stand out by approaching every opportunity like a B2B pitch. You’ll learn how to research, prepare, and present yourself like a business, not a beggar, so you become the obvious choice in any economy.
Whether you’re an executive, a working professional, or rebuilding after a layoff, this episode shows you how to:
✅ Turn an interview into a partnership conversation.
✅ Sell your expertise like a consultant, not an applicant.
✅ Build proof, positioning, and presence that companies can’t ignore.
✅ Protect your income by thinking and operating like an entrepreneur.
If you’ve ever felt overlooked or undervalued in your career, this is your roadmap to taking control.
🎧 Watch now, and learn how to pitch yourself like a business.
The job market is broken, or maybe it’s working exactly as designed.

Some problems are expensive because of what they cost. Others are expensive because of what they prevent.
Expensive Problems with Kyle Jerome Carter is a business strategy podcast…
Business Strategist Kyle Jerome Carter brings a perspective grounded in marketing, customer psychology, analytics, and how businesses operate. Through solo episodes and conversations with owners, executives, and operators, he examines what is happening, what gets missed, and what deserves a closer look before the next decision.
Why does every problem still come back to the owner? Why does more marketing create activity without enough profitable business? What happens when growth puts more pressure on a team instead of creating progress?
These conversations connect the visible problem to the decisions and working conditions behind it, helping you ask better questions, consider the tradeoffs, and decide what to do next.
If you are responsible for people, customers, decisions, or results, you are in the right place.
Business strategy. Real consequences.
