AppliedRPG

My career didn't start with a perfect spreadsheet. It started with a mop.My first role felt like being the platoon's janitor, constantly overlooked and assigned every dirty job. I believed that hard work and virtue would be enough. I was wrong.My journey to becoming a "Power Machinist" was less a graceful climb and more a series of spectacular stumbles. Each failure—from being sidelined for bluntness to being outmaneuvered by a rival—taught me a vital lesson about how organizations truly work.I discovered that every company is a game with a hidden rulebook. Ignoring it isn't virtuous; it's professional suicide.Now, I use my platform as AppliedRPG to teach the strategies I wish I'd known. Through my TikTok and this site, I translate ancient strategic wisdom and modern case studies into actionable plays for your career.My book is the ultimate expression of this: a guide to engineering influence, controlling systems, and building a reputation of integrity and power.Think of me as your strategist-in-chief. I've been in the trenches, and I'm here to give you the map. Explore my book, join the community on TikTok, and finally get the credit you've earned.
