The Level Up Podcast

What if the problem isn't you, it's the way you've been taught to network?

In this episode, I'm sharing what actually gets you referred, noticed, and hired in 2026 and why this works even if you hate networking or don't know anyone. 

You'll walk away knowing:

• What actually makes someone want to refer you and how to create that naturally (even if you don't know the person)
• Why it's good to avoid some people and how to decide who's worth reaching out to
• How to reach out to someone you barely know without it feeling transactional, cringey or weird

You're doing the work. Leading the projects. Getting the results. But one look at your title and suddenly none of that seems to show.

If you've ever hesitated to go after a role because your title doesn't quite match what you've actually been doing or if you worry that companies might count you out because your title doesn’t tell the full story, this episode will show you how to navigate your background more confidently. 

We’re discussing:

• Why it’s tempting to feel unqualified on paper, even though you’re not
• The sneaky way your title shapes how others see you
• How to walk into any room and own your value, even without the title

If you've been telling yourself that you finally make a move in your career, this episode is your starting point.

Most people don't land roles they love because they worked hard. They land them because they move strategically.

In this episode, Adunola breaks down the exact 90-day framework her clients use to go from unclear and stuck to hired at companies like Google, Spotify, and LinkedIn and more. And she does it phase by phase, so the whole process finally feels doable.

You'll walk away knowing exactly where to start and what to focus on so that you feel more confident in your next steps, and stop spinning your wheels trying to figure it out alone.

The second it’s your turn to ask questions in interviews…you freeze, play it safe. You worry they'll think you're too high-maintenance, or too difficult if you ask what you really want to know. But then months later, once you're in the job, you realize you're stuck in a role you should’ve vetted better.

This episode will stop that cycle. We’re talking about the “risky” questions you’re scared to ask in interviews and why avoiding them is the real risk.

I’ll walk you through:

🔑 The questions that feel scary (but actually signal confidence)

🔑 How to ask hard questions without sounding difficult

🔑 How to shift from “please pick me” energy to vetting energy

This episode will help you not just get a job, but the right one for you.
