Oz Rashid

Disruptor of all things hiring 🚀🚀🚀. Founder/CEO MSH & Aeon

[Oz Rashid @OzMSHTalent]

I didn’t “find my purpose.”
I built it.

And anyone waiting for purpose to just show up one day… good luck.

Purpose isn’t hiding somewhere waiting to be found.
You build it.
You bleed for it.
You earn it through your effort.

When I got into recruiting, I wasn’t trying to save the world.
I was trying to get paid.

I was 26, working my ass off for $45k a year while everyone around me coasted and made the same.
That pissed me off.

So I made a move.

Not because I had some grand vision, but because I wanted impact and incentive.
I wanted to feel like my work actually mattered. Like I was making a real difference.

At the time, I was in a corporate tech job. The kind of role people stay in because it’s “safe.”
Big brand name, clear career path, job security.
But it also came with something else: comfort.
And comfort kills growth.

I took a week off once and thought everything would fall apart without me.
When I came back, nothing had changed.
No one noticed.

That was my wake-up call.

If I can disappear and nothing moves, I’m in the wrong place.

So I left.
I walked away from security and brand recognition for a smaller executive search firm.
A total career shift.

Because what I wanted couldn’t be found in a logo or ladder.
I wanted to see my work move the needle.
To feel the impact of what I built.

At first, I still didn’t have “purpose.”
I just wanted to make money and win.

But purpose didn’t come from the job.
It came from what the job allowed me to do.
↳ Lead people
↳ Change lives
↳ Learn how businesses actually work from the inside out

That’s when it finally hit me.
Purpose isn’t a job title.
It isn’t about what you do.
It’s about what you love within what you do.

Most people get this backward.
They think purpose is about what they do.
It’s not.

So stop asking “What’s my purpose?”
Start asking:
→ What makes me come alive?
→ Who am I working with?
→ Who am I working for?

If the answers don’t light you up, you’re not in the wrong field.
You’re just in the wrong environment.

Purpose lives in the intersection between who you are and how you work.

You don’t find it.
You build it.
Every single day.

Loyalty isn’t old-fashioned. It’s underrated.

In a world where everyone’s chasing the next title or company hop,
Nan Poppen has spent 25 years building one culture that actually lasts.

As Chief Human Resources Officer at First Bank & Trust,
Nan leads 750+ employees across 17 branches — and what she’s built is special.

She’s proof that growth doesn’t require leaving.
It requires investing in people, in purpose, and in community.

She has led the way in building loyalty for First Bank & Trust employees.

Some of the ways her company puts people first:
🧠 They launched Culture Camp, connecting new hires directly with senior leaders.
👶 Implemented an unprecedented on-site childcare program to make life better for working parents.
🍩 She spent the past summer on a “Doughnut Tour” to hear directly from the front line team and strengthen relationships across every branch.

And through it all, she’s kept one simple belief:
You don’t build culture through perks. You build it through people.

Nan’s story is a masterclass in loyalty, leadership, and doing things the right way — not the fast way.

Nan, thank you for reminding us that stability isn’t stagnation.
It’s the foundation that allows people — and companies — to truly thrive.

Today I turned 44.

And like most birthdays, it made me pause.
Not to celebrate, but to reflect.

Here are 44 things I’ve learned the hard way:

1 // No one’s coming to save you.
2 // Leadership means making decisions that hurt individuals but help the whole.
3 // Discipline beats motivation — every time.
4 // Talent without work ethic is wasted potential.
5 // Happiness is overrated. Purpose is everything.
6 // If you’re bored, you’re not being challenged enough.
7 // Most “overnight success” stories took 10+ years.
8 // Respect is a two-way street.
9 // Want loyalty? Give transparency.
10 // Burnout isn’t about working too hard — it’s working without meaning.
11 // You can’t lead people you don’t care about.
12 // The best interviewers are great listeners.
13 // If you don’t know your values, someone else will define them for you.
14 // Money doesn’t change who you are. It amplifies it.
15 // You don’t rise to goals — you fall to habits.
16 // Most problems are people problems.
17 // Stop chasing balance. Chase impact.
18 // The people who tell you to “slow down” usually already gave up.
19 // Feedback is a gift — even when it stings.
20 // There’s no “perfect” culture. Only consistent ones.
21 // Empathy is powerful — indulgence is dangerous.
22 // If you’re the smartest person in the room, you’re in the wrong room.
23 // Leaders eat last — but think first.
24 // People quit people, not companies.
25 // Accountability is love in leadership form.
26 // Stop overvaluing potential and undervaluing consistency.
27 // “Good enough” kills excellence.
28 // Obsession isn’t toxic. It’s a superpower.
29 // Comfort kills growth.
30 // You don’t find time. You make it.
31 // Success = short-term sacrifice for long-term freedom.
32 // You can’t scale chaos.
33 // Energy > time.
34 // Conflict avoided is trust destroyed.
35 // Hire slow. Coach always.
36 // Great teams don’t need constant motivation — they need clear direction.
37 // There’s no growth without friction.
38 // People remember how you made them feel, not what you said.
39 // Curiosity takes you further than credentials.
40 // Great leaders never stop being students.
41 // Integrity means doing what’s right when no one’s watching.
42 // The best things take time — but time only works if you do.
43 // Be stubborn about goals, flexible about methods.
44 // Gratitude turns grind into growth.

44 years in — I’m still learning.
Still failing. Still growing. Still obsessed.

And if there’s one thing I know for sure…
The moment you think you’ve “made it,” you’ve already started falling behind.

Here’s to staying hungry, humble, and human.

The concept of work-life balance is overrated.

Prioritizing balance isn’t wrong —
but you are sacrificing greatness for comfort.

Personally… I prefer a hard edge. 😊

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
You won’t beat someone who is obsessed.

You can’t outwork them.
You can’t outthink them.
You can’t even compete with them.

We talk about obsession like it’s toxic.
Like it’s unhealthy or “too much.”

But when it comes to building something great —
a company, a mission, a life of impact —
obsession is the advantage.

I learned that the hard way.

When I found my purpose — helping people find meaning in their work —
everything changed.

Because obsession doesn’t clock out.
It doesn’t need motivation.
It doesn’t wait for “inspiration.”

It’s the person who wakes up thinking about the problem.
Goes to bed thinking about the solution.
And can’t stop until it’s better.

You can beat someone richer than you.
You can beat someone smarter than you.
But you can’t outwork someone who is obsessed.

You don’t change the world by working 9-to-5 on something you kind of care about.
You do it by caring so deeply that it consumes you.

I didn’t plan on making talent my life’s work — quite the opposite.

My path to where I am is anything but linear.

But when I discovered the spark it gave me, I knew I’d stop at nothing to make a dent in this industry —
and help people find the same purpose in their work that I’ve found in mine.

I may not end up being great.
But it won’t be because I didn’t obsess over the problem.

Here’s the truth:
You can have balance.
Or you can have greatness.
But you can’t have both — not at the same time.

So if you want to win?
Get obsessed.

With your craft.
Your mission.
Your impact.

Because obsession isn’t burnout.
It’s purpose on fire.

And once you find that level of conviction —
no one can beat you.

Hard work eats talent — every time.

I once had an employee who could talk his way through anything.
Sharp. Charismatic. Naturally gifted.

But there was one problem:
He stopped preparing.
He relied on charm instead of discipline.

One day, we had a conversation.
“You’ve got to stop getting by on personality. It only takes you so far.”

Because I knew that lesson personally.

In high school and college, I coasted.
I got B+ grades without really trying.
My thought was, why work harder when you can win doing half as much?

But coasting catches up with you.
You pay for it later — in panic, in pressure, in potential lost.

I had to spend my last two years of college rebuilding my GPA from scratch.
Redoing projects I half-assed.
Proving I could actually finish what I started.

That’s when it hit me:
Talent might open the door.
But work ethic decides how far you walk through it.

When I entered the workforce, “good enough” stopped being enough.
I had to outwork people — not to prove something, but to unlock what I was actually capable of.

And I saw the same thing happen with that employee.
He took the feedback to heart.
↳ Started preparing.
↳ Started showing up early.
↳ Started doing the hard, boring stuff no one else wanted to do.

He became one of the top salespeople in the company.

All because he stopped relying on who he was…
and started building who he could be.

Everyone wants success.
But most people aren’t willing to do the unglamorous work required to earn it.

Hard work eats talent.
Every. Single. Time.

Talent might set your ceiling.
But effort determines if you ever reach it.

Right now, a lot of people are looking for their next job — or any job.
And I’ve been getting the same question over and over again:

👉 “Oz, what can I actually do to stand out?”

There’s a lot I could say.
But let’s start with the first thing every hiring manager sees — your resume.

Everyone loves to talk about red flags on resumes.
But you know what actually matters more?
The green ones.

The signs that someone is worth your time, your call, and maybe even your trust.

After reviewing tens of thousands of resumes, here’s what I look for 👇

1️⃣ Customized Objectives
If the resume actually speaks to the role — not just a copy-paste template — that’s gold.
It shows effort, clarity, and direction.

2️⃣ Clear Data Points
“I did X and it led to Y.”
Show me measurable impact — growth, revenue, retention, efficiency, etc.

3️⃣ Promotions at One Company
That’s one of the strongest indicators of performance and trust.
It means you delivered, got recognized, and earned your next opportunity.

4️⃣ Function or Industry Shifts
When someone has taken risks — changing departments or industries — that tells me they have range.
Adaptability > comfort zones.

5️⃣ Behavioral Traits, Not Just Technical Skills
When candidates mention what they value (integrity, ownership, collaboration), it signals self-awareness.
And self-aware people make better teammates.

The truth is, a good resume isn’t just a list of jobs.
It’s a story of growth.
And the best stories have context, courage, and character.

If you’re writing your resume right now — stop obsessing over buzzwords.
Start showing the person behind the paper.

That’s what hiring managers like me are really looking for.

Most people ask for permission.
Mariano Filippini doesn’t wait. He builds.

From leading global content at TelevisaUnivision to serving as CEO of the Miami Sharks to now founding Gen-FC — the first AI-driven soccer channel that gives exposure to the next generation of future stars — Mariano’s career reads like a masterclass in calculated risk and creative reinvention.

He’s gone from corporate boardrooms to entrepreneurial battlefields.
From managing billion-dollar brands to building something from scratch.

And through it all, he’s led with humility.
He’s proof that ambition doesn’t have to mean ego… and that real leadership is about empowering others to grow with you.

Mariano’s story is a reminder that the best leaders don’t chase titles.
They chase impact.

This episode of Hire Learning dives deep into:
⚽ How calculated risk leads to meaningful change
⚙️ What it takes to build proactive, purpose-driven teams
🌎 The mindset shift from corporate success to entrepreneurial growth

Mariano — thank you for the honesty, the insight, and the fire.
You’re what modern leadership looks like.

@RosserJobs This is so true. The respect needs to be shown mutually.

[Oz Rashid @OzMSHTalent]

Everyone thinks being a CEO is glamorous. They’re wrong.

People see the title and assume it’s all fun and freedom.
✈️ Travel.
🗣️ Speaking opportunities.
💰 Success.

Here’s the truth: being a CEO means doing the shit nobody wants to do.

It’s carrying the cognitive load that no one else feels.
It’s worrying about the dozens (or hundreds) of people who rely on you for their livelihoods.
It’s questioning if you’re giving enough to your team… and your family.
It’s sleepless nights, hard conversations, and impossible tradeoffs.

One of my favorite ways to understand people is through a simple interview question I always ask:
“What’s the biggest misconception people have about you?”

It’s eye-opening.
For me, the biggest misconception is that everything I do as a CEO is glamorous.
The truth couldn’t be further from it.

It’s not about perks or the fun parts of the job.
It’s about shouldering responsibility, making the hard choices, and taking hits so your people don’t have to.

I keep a sign in my office that my old EA sent around the company on Boss’s Day.
Everyone added words they’d use to describe me.
I love that it captures how people see me—and reminds me that perception and reality are often very different.

Leadership isn’t about perks. It’s about pressure.
It’s about showing up when it’s hard — especially when no one’s watching.
It’s about doing whatever needs to be done.

I’m proud of what I’ve built.
But I’m also honest enough to say this:
No job — not even mine — is perfect.

If you think being a CEO is about glamour, you’re chasing the wrong dream.

[Oz Rashid @OzMSHTalent]

Happiness is overrated.

Because we’ve all been sold this idea that the goal of life is to be happy.
To “find balance.”
To “protect our peace.”
To “do what makes them happy.”

But the truth is, happiness is a trailing indicator.
It comes after impact, not before it.

It turns out we as people are really bad at what we think will make us happy.

@Spotify's founder, Daniel EK, said something that stopped me in my tracks.

When @Uber's CEO, Dara Khosrowshahi, was offered the job, he wasn’t sure if he wanted it.
He told Daniel, “I’m happy where I am.”

And Daniel said:
“Since when is life about happiness? It’s about impact.”

That hit me hard.

Because he’s right.
You don’t find happiness by chasing it.

You find it by doing something that matters.
↳ Something that stretches you.
↳ Tests you.
↳ Challenges you.

Impact gives you purpose.
Purpose gives you fulfillment.
And that’s what creates real happiness.

The problem is that too many people stop when things get uncomfortable.

They think struggling means they’re off track.
But it usually means you’re exactly where you should be.

Discomfort isn’t a sign you’re failing.
It’s a sign you’re growing.

That’s what I’ve built my life around — helping people find purpose in their work.

Because impact gives you meaning.
And meaning gives you happiness.

💡 Happiness isn’t the goal. It’s the result.

Stop asking, “What will make me happy?”
Start asking, “Where can I make a difference?”

That’s where fulfillment lives.
That’s where purpose begins.
That’s where real happiness follows.

Most companies get this wrong.

They either build a “corporate” recruiting function…
↳ Polished
↳ Process-driven
↳ Safe

… Or they build an “agency.”
↳ Scrappy
↳ Hungry
↳ Fast-moving
↳ Chaotic

At MSH, we decided: why not both?

We built something different.
👉 Corporate front-end.
👉 Agency back-end.

Our clients get the best of both worlds.
A team that feels like a strategic partner, but works like a startup that refuses to lose.

Hiring isn’t a transaction.
It’s a craft.
It’s data, discipline, and obsession rolled into one.

Thanks Anthony Nash for having me on Leadership Success to dig into how we built this mindset — and how other leaders can too.

Everyone’s talking about AI.
Jae Zayed is actually building it into the future of healthcare.

As Chief Digital & Information Officer at Southwest General Health Center, Jae is delivering real transformation.
Real AI. Real impact.
For patients. For physicians. For the entire system.

From his early days tinkering with tech to leading digital innovation at Oracle and Cerner, Jae’s journey shows what happens when curiosity meets purpose.

He’s seen firsthand how AI can make medicine smarter — and how it can fail when people forget that healthcare is, above all, human care.

What stands out about Jae:
💡 He treats technology as a partner in care, not a replacement for it.
💡 He builds teams based on collaboration, not credentials.
💡 He leads with empathy, clarity, and conviction.

In this episode of Hire Learning, we unpack:
🔹 How to cut through AI hype and focus on real-world outcomes
🔹 Why governance and data integrity drive responsible adoption
🔹 The power of voice technology in freeing clinicians to focus on patients
🔹 What it takes to lead teams through the next wave of tech disruption

Jae reminds us that innovation doesn’t start with machines.
It starts with people — and leaders who never forget why they build.

Jae, thank you for showing what thoughtful, people-first leadership looks like in the age of AI.

There’s a new hiring epidemic no one’s talking about. 🚨

And what’s strange is — it’s happening at the same time we’re seeing record layoffs, longer job searches, and higher unemployment than we’ve had in years.

We’re doing a lot of hiring right now at MSH.
And I’ve been hearing the same thing from other CEOs and hiring leaders everywhere:

You’d think people would be more intentional than ever.
But something has shifted.

I’ve never seen more flakiness in the market than I’m seeing today.

✅ Candidates committing to on-sites, then no-showing.
✅ Accepting offers… then backing out days later.
✅ Saying they’re “all in,” then ghosting without a word.

It’s become an epidemic.

And sure — there are reasons:
↳ Maybe people are already employed and testing the market.
↳ Maybe they’re juggling multiple opportunities, and this one isn’t their top choice.
↳ Maybe they think one burned bridge won’t matter.
↳ Maybe they’re just bored and curious what’s out there.

But here’s the truth: how you handle yourself when things don’t go your way says more about your character than any resume ever could.

There’s nothing wrong with realizing a role isn’t the right fit.
But how you handle it — that matters.

If we’re going to keep talking about “bad companies,” “heartless employers,” or “AI taking our jobs,” then we also need to look in the mirror.

Because integrity goes both ways.

The market doesn’t just need smarter companies — it needs better candidates.
Ones who:
👉 Communicate when they’re no longer interested
👉 Respect people’s time
👉 Follow through on their word

The same values we expect from leadership should also apply to job seekers.

At the end of the day, your say/do ratio is your reputation.

Companies need to lead with respect.
Candidates need to do the same.

That’s how you build trust in this market.
That’s how you stand out — no matter which side of the table you’re on.

Curiosity opens doors that talent alone never will.

Just wanted to share a clip from Hire Learning this past Wednesday with Monica Anderton—and this idea stuck with me.

Her advice:
🔍 Stay curious.
Ask questions. Seek feedback. Be open to growth.

That mindset has fueled an incredible career, landing her at SHRM-Atlanta.
It’s a reminder that the people who keep learning, keep rising.

Thank you, Monica, for bringing so much wisdom (and humility) to this episode.

💡 Every bad hire costs you 3x:

⏳ Time - months wasted onboarding, coaching, and covering for them.
🤝 Trust - your credibility takes a hit, and the team starts to question your judgment.
🌟 Talent - A-players either get dragged down carrying the load… or they leave.

The part that leaders don’t like to admit…
The real damage usually shows up 6 months later.

By then, you’ve sunk countless hours into ramping them up.
The team is frustrated.
And you’re still hoping they’ll “figure it out.”

But here’s the truth: your gut knew in the first 30 days.
If you wouldn’t 100% hire them again, knowing what you know now… don’t ignore it.

Bad hires aren’t just expensive. They’re contagious.
↳ They erode culture.
↳ They slow momentum.
↳ They push away your best people.

Hiring right isn’t just about saving money.
It’s about protecting time, protecting trust, and protecting talent.

👉 What’s your biggest lesson from a bad hire?

Every room Monica Anderton walks in gets sharper.
Clearer. Kinder.

She’s one of those rare leaders who’s done it all — from building global people strategies to guiding teams through massive transformation — and somehow makes it look effortless.

Her superpower? Curiosity.

✅ She listens harder.
✅ Asks better questions.

Monica’s the kind of leader who reminds you that you can be both ambitious and authentic.
Strategic and human.
Driven and kind.
