We share how a 26-year-old quit a safe job, chose Houston without a car, and built traction through volunteering, TikTok transparency, and face-to-face networking. The core message is simple: action, humility, and consistency still open doors, even in a tough market.
• why Houston’s opportunity and story mattered
• leaving a stable job to prove grit and possibility
• using TikTok and LinkedIn to spark warm introductions
• vulnerability as leverage in an AI world
• volunteering and helping small businesses to build trust
• navigating objections, gatekeepers, and follow-ups
• finding and choosing high-value events without a car
• practical ways leaders can engage driven Gen Z talent
• daily journaling and morning planning for momentum
• Connor’s target roles in energy and AI near downtown
