About Chasing Coffee

We started Chasing Coffee because the advice most working professionals receive doesn't match the reality they're living.

The internet is full of content about optimizing your productivity, building your personal brand, and chasing your dream career. That advice assumes you have stability, disposable income, and the luxury of long-term planning. Most people don't have any of those things right now.

Why Chasing Coffee Exists

I've navigated job loss, salary cuts exceeding $25,000 after economic shocks, business closures, and multiple career transitions across sectors. I learned to recognize employment instability early and respond before circumstances forced decisions. That experience taught me what actually works when you're facing uncertainty with limited resources and no margin for error.

Traditional career advice assumes stability most people don't have. Chasing Coffee provides the guidance I needed when I was navigating these situations: specific, immediate, and grounded in what actually happens when economic conditions shift.

What We Provide

Chasing Coffee delivers practical strategies for professionals navigating economic uncertainty. Our readers are professionals facing employment instability with limited financial margin for error. This includes employed people worried about layoffs, recently unemployed people managing a job search, and anyone trying to maintain stability when circumstances can shift faster than planning allows.

We publish daily content organized into pillars, each containing 30 articles that build systematically. Each article provides one specific task that builds on previous work, creating systematic progress through challenges you're facing. You can follow a single pillar that addresses your most urgent concern or work through multiple pillars simultaneously based on your needs.

Our approach is straightforward. We acknowledge the economic pressure you're facing without adding to your anxiety. We provide specific actions you can take today rather than frameworks you might implement someday. We focus on what actually works for people with limited time, limited resources, and legitimate concerns about their future.

Our Content Structure

We organize content around the challenges our readers face most frequently.

For Employed Professionals:

Job Security Systems teaches documentation practices, visibility strategies, and relationship building that make you harder to cut when budget decisions happen. This isn't about becoming a top performer. It's about becoming essential to daily operations.

Financial Resilience addresses immediate financial stabilization, expense reduction, and income protection for people who don't have much margin for error. The goal is defending against financial catastrophe, not building wealth.

Workplace Navigation helps you manage workplace relationships and politics when anxiety is high and companies are under pressure. You learn to maintain your position without becoming a target.

Resilience Experiments reframes skill building and network expansion as risk management. Small experiments give you options without requiring you to abandon your current position.

For Job Seekers:

Career Transition provides dedicated content for unemployment, including job search systems, unemployment financial management, interview and networking navigation, and quick income generation during your search.

Each pillar contains 30 articles with actionable tasks. The first articles establish foundations, subsequent articles build specific capabilities, and the progression creates measurable improvement in your situation.

How to Use This Site

Start with the content pillar that addresses your most immediate concern:

Worried about your job? Begin with Job Security Systems.

Managing financial pressure? Focus on Financial Resilience.

Navigating workplace politics? Start with Workplace Navigation.

Each article provides one specific action. Complete that action before moving to the next article. The structure builds systematically, with each task creating foundation for subsequent work.

You can work through one pillar completely, or address multiple pillars simultaneously by completing the first article across all relevant areas, then the second article across all areas, and so on. Choose the approach that matches your situation and available time.
