Small things.

That was the theme of Rishad Tobaccowala's latest newsletter. Many have posted about these amazing musings and essays in the past- go subscribe.

Richy Glassberg, an esteemed "Hello" (active mentor on the OhHello.io 🌞☕️ platform), and I were chatting Monday night about "the small things" ...and why they ALWAYS matter.

It's the small things that are memorable.
It's the small things that make you stick out.
It's the small things that make life remarkable.
It's the small things that showcase how your authenticity matters.

We decided to record a quick pod on "small things" (episode 84 - recorded an hour ago) and why they matter.

From Linkedin etiquette to hashtag#job hunting (SafeGuard Privacy) as a hashtag#candidate + hashtag#hiring manager, to what sets someone apart hashtag#career growth, how and why to follow-up with people hashtag#opentowork, and then a non-sponsored quip on how Liquid Death genuinely is the best marketing company in the world (for the past several years).

We did similar version off-the-cuff recordings w/ other OhHello.io 🌞☕️ mentors (Camille Fetter + Kevin Hein). If you like these tips, advice, etc - our OhHello tribe will bring ya more! Just let us know if you're finding them helpful.

Small things matter. Move fast...and MSH!

OhHello!

It's episode 83 and our next "Hello" (a mentor/expert) is beyond stoked to be part of our  OhHello.io 🌞☕️ tribe. This bad ass mama (and Netflix Korean-American reality star via "Love After Divorce") praises the importance of combining personal grit with mentorship in and out of the workplace.

"I love how OhHello.io bridges the gap between helping people navigate their careers, moving up the corporate ladder, and providing access to other execs that would otherwise seem unreachable." -Sora Lee

Sora, the head of global product marketing for creative solutions, at TikTok, came solo to America as a 16 yr old from Korea. From starting her career at TubeMogul, Inc. and going to Netflix, Meta, and TikTok for Business, she acknowledges that asking for #help and #mentorship have played crucial roles in shaping her #career (professionally) and as a single mom.

Some of the mentors that have helped get Sora to where she is:

Khe Yeh

Jane Kim Hong (via good friend Erica Hong)

Aseem Gandhi

Just as Sora's been fortunate to receive guidance, she's passionate about paying it forward. Women's economic empowerment (and emotional well-being) are causes close to her heart, reflecting her family's legacy of small business ownership and the belief in uplifting others.

As a mentor/expert on the platform, she's excited to build-up other Asian American professionals, single parents, and everyone else that wants to ascend within their career! Starting this week, you can book 1:1s w/ Sora via https://ohhello.io/

It's episode 79 and this #salesdevelopment #SDR (outbound sales expert), Tito 🚀 Bohrt - Sales Mad Scientist, is ecstatic to be part of our OhHello.io 🌞☕️ tribe!

Growing-up in Bolivia, and working his butt off to get to where he is today,

Tito emphasizes the importance of #mentorship and how he chooses to give back. Looking back, as a Duke University alum, Tito thanks some of his mentors- Jesse Lipson, Brooks Bell - LEAD FROM BEHIND, Ed Cheely.

"When mentorship is paid for, as a mentee, you're more likely going to take action and get stuff done. When mentorship is free, there's little accountability for the mentee (no push-pull - or 2-way street)." Hot damn, do I agree w/ this - action oriented mentorship!!
