Issue No. 5 | Dancing on the resume's grave—The workplace and career landscape got bleak, but our tools didn't change. The career ladder and resume are long dead, but the solution won't be found in using AI to flatten people into identical tales and bullet points. Instead the opportunity belongs to the folks who can understand who they are, harness it at work, and tell the story only they can tell. It's kind of the whole point of EverMore.

Discover valuable career advice from real people at SXSW 2026. Learn how career advice can shape your journey and inspire your future.

Will AI take your job? We don’t think so, but we do think it’s being misused. AI is great at pattern recognition and being a thought partner, but it can’t create something truly novel or replace the human element. The real concern? Companies laying off workers expecting AI to fill the gap, and AI amplifying the bias already baked into our work systems. In this episode, we break down what AI is actually good at and where it falls short.

A Case Study: Before EverMore, a director was drowning in pressure, avoiding hard conversations, and carrying his team’s growth alone. Then he met Stone. This is the story of how reflection, a North Star, and an AI coach who doesn’t placate helped him shed his armor and transform his leadership style.

Issue No. 4 | Every strange thing: the hobbies you loved and abandoned, the relationships that didn't work out, the pivots that felt like failures—they come back to you. It's what makes you interesting. Also in the issue: writing your own rubric for success, using reflection for tough decisions, and reimagining performance to truly support individuals.

When individual performance falters, the answer isn’t clear-cut. It’s buried under company quirks and constraints, team dynamics, and personal realities. This manager guide walks through scenarios like role elimination, skills mismatch, overleveling, and values misalignment to unearth the considerations, traps, and answer the question—Should I coach or not? Because deciding to let someone go deserves care lest you erode a culture under the tyranny of competition and fear.

To fully understand ourselves, we have to unwind the systems that make us. That includes how performance reviews influence our futures and self-esteem. These antiquated processes stick around because the system maintains a semblance of fairness, is open to interpretation, and places the burden of proof on the less powerful party. But there's a better way to center individual, team, and company growth. So here's how we'd build a performance system from scratch.

Your career leaves clues long before it offers answers. These tools for sharing your career story act as windows into the soul, helping you articulate who you are when you’re at your best, even when that’s hard to describe. For those who feel stuck, untethered, or ready to take authorship of their career, this is an invitation to find your voice before choosing your next step.

Issue No. 3 | Getting sentimental and attracting “why not me” energy into the month of love.

Issue No. 2 | Reflection renaissance—stepping back to untangle who you are from who you've been told to be. Work has a way of defining and shaping us. Reflection is the way out. Also in this issue: new year rituals, the thin line of cults and culture and why it's scary to make a company your identity, and an interview with cofounder, Kelsey Peterson.

Sort out your own biases, calibrate overly positive or overly negative takes, and find where folks thrive. Includes prompts and exercises to craft clear feedback, reduce projection, and help direct reports navigate hard notes with dignity and momentum.

Career Story Interview with Kelsey Peterson, People & Culture Leader and Cofounder of EverMore.

Most of us gather feedback the same way. We ask, "Do you have any feedback for me?" and in that moment, honesty gets sucked out of the room, and all we hear is a "nope." Instead, learn how to elicit directed, honest feedback from the right people while understanding your own intentions and authentic career desires.
