Let’s get real for a second on Gen Z Jobs.
You’ve watched your kid bounce between gigs – barista one month, data entry the next.
They call it “exploring options.” You call it panic mode.
They’re smart. They’re creative.
But every job feels like forcing a square peg into a round hole.
Sound familiar?
I Get It – Because I Was That Kid.
At 15, I thought I’d be the next Eminem.
By 29, I was a marketing drone who hadn’t touched a mic in years.
Failed rapper. Failed filmmaker. “Success” meant a paycheck, but I felt like a sellout.
By 30?
Let’s just say my LinkedIn looked great, but my soul felt like burnt toast.
Then came the wake-up call:
I’d spent years chasing “stable” jobs while ignoring the one thing that actually worked – my ability to build worlds through stories.
The Moment Everything Changed
I realized: we treat careers like math problems (follow steps → get answer).
But life’s not a formula – it’s a story.
So I did something radical.
I took everything I’d learned from writing screenplays – character arcs, plot twists, conflict resolution – and applied it to real life.
That’s how Life Plot was born.
The 3-Part Framework That Fixed My Mess (And Can Fix Theirs)
(Note: No vague “find your passion” BS here.)
- Cast Yourself as the Hero
Not the “chosen one.” The flawed, relatable protagonist who actually grows. My film scripts flopped because my characters were perfect. My career flopped because I tried to be perfect. - Write the Antagonist First
In movies, villains force heroes to level up. In life? Your kid’s “villains” are:- Fear of failure (masquerading as “I don’t know what I want”)
- Society’s script (“Get a degree → cubicle → retire”)
- Their own limiting beliefs (“I’m not good enough to…”)
- Design the Plot Twist
Every great story needs a surprise. For me? Using creativity to build wealth, not suppress it. For your Gen Zer? It might mean turning their art into a business, or coding into activism.
What Happens When You Stop Forcing Square Pegs?
Let’s be clear: This isn’t about becoming a starving artist.
After Life Plot, I:
- Quadrupled my income (while writing poetry at 6 AM)
- Built a team… without becoming a corporate clone
- Finally felt aligned – no more “work self” vs “real self”

Take the free 3-minute quiz I wish existed when I was 22:
👉 What’s Your Child’s Hidden Motivation?
It’s not another career test. It’s a story diagnostic that reveals:
- Their core drivers (hint: it’s not “money” or “fame”)
- The invisible traps derailing their choices
- How to reframe “failures” as plot devices
Because here’s the secret no one tells you:
A meaningful career isn’t found – it’s built.
And your kid’s already got the raw material.
