The world doesn’t reward those who wait; it rewards those who act.From the moment we’re old enough to dream, we’re handed a script: follow the rules, wait your turn, and maybe, someday, opportunity will knock. But here’s the truth: the system isn’t designed to help you thrive; it’s designed to keep you in place—waiting for permission, waiting for approval, waiting for a chance that may never come.The people who shape the world don’t wait. They rewrite the script.Drawing from his own Permissionless journey—working with serial entrepreneur Noah Kagan and building a thriving marketing agency while still in school—Jay Yang argues that success isn’t about luck, connections, or waiting for the right moment—it’s about taking control. Through lessons drawn from pioneers like:Tony Fadell, who didn’t wait for the perfect role—he built a prototype, pitched the iPod, and revolutionized how the world listens to music.Steven Spielberg, who didn’t wait for someone to open the door—he snuck onto a Universal Studios lot, absorbed everything he could, and became the youngest director in Hollywood history.Taylor Swift, who didn’t wait for the industry to find her—she moved to Nashville, positioned herself where the action was, and knocked on doors until someone gave her a shot.These stories—and many others—highlight one powerful truth: success is something you create, not something you’re granted. You Can Just Do Things is for any young professional ready to accelerate their career, aspiring entrepreneur determined to build their own path, or anyone stuck in a 9-to-5 grind who knows they’re meant for more.This isn’t just a book about success—it’s about taking control of your future and building a career and life on your own terms.Stop waiting. Start acting. The only permission you need is the one you give yourself. Read more

The technical leadership path remains relatively undocumented, hard to navigate, and inconsistent across companies. Staff Engineer is your guide to building your career towards a Staff engineering role, receiving the title, and succeeding within the role. Read more

In these frank, honest, passionate, and often funny pages is the tale of one woman's eventful and radical journey to the age of thirty.

Ani continues to be a major touring and recording artist as well as a celebrated activist and feminist, standing as living proof that you can overcome all personal and societal obstacles to be who you are and to follow your dreams.
