Kim Bode poses holding a postcard that reads, "No."

Adaptation Doesn't Mean Lowering the Bar.

Kim Bode relaxes on a patio with a glass of iced wine in her hand. A speech bubble says, "Sorry, not sorry."

Sorry, Not Sorry.

You have to give to get.

Stop asking for favors and sliding into people’s DM‘s for an introduction or to pitch your kid for a job. Relationships are not transactional and it is no one else’s responsibility to get you where you’re going.

Invest in your network, show up, send the handwritten note, go to events, grab coffee - it’ll pay off.

AI is not a replacement for Actual Intelligence. Stop forcing it down everyone’s throat. We are replacing independent thought with the convenience of Claude.

Stop the AI videos, AI songs, AI headshots, AI writing. In the age of fake, fabricated, and false, be authentic. The world needs more of you, not ChatGPT.

Hey Bode, what’d you do this weekend?

Oh you know, read a book on Vietnam, watched a documentary on Vietnam, listened to a Spotify playlist on Vietnam…very relaxing and lighthearted stuff.

My brain is so weird.
