HR is lonely. It doesn’t have to be.
The best HR advice comes from those in the trenches. That’s what this is: real-world HR insights delivered in a newsletter from Hebba Youssef, a Chief People Officer who’s been there. Practical, real strategies with a dash of humor. Because HR shouldn’t be thankless—and you shouldn’t be alone in it.
I launched a “tiny experiment” this month, inspired by the book of the same name.
Actually, I launched three of them. Because I can’t live without inviting insanity and chaos, apparently.
Anyway, this month, I will be:
*Doing 100 Pull-Ups, 100 Push-Ups, and 100 Squats Every Day
*Reading 31 Books
I’ve been rolling right along, too! I’m 3/3 for daily YouTube videos, I’m one book behind on my goal (but catching up), and as for the workouts, I had a few (scheduled) rest days at the beginning of the month, but I’m now hitting all my workouts.
Anyway…what does this mean for you?
I’m asking. What does this mean for you?
You don’t have to set massive, multi-year goals that sound impressive to everyone else but only fill you with apathy and dread. You can design your own life. You can LIVE your own life. And it doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s.
If you’re doing it right, it WON’T look like anyone else’s!
I’m loving the idea of “tiny experiments” right now, and I definitely enjoyed the book. I’ll be sharing my notes in my other newsletter when they’re ready.
For now, though, maybe just give some thought to a tiny experiment you could run, perhaps something to do with your online business. A new lead gen channel you’ve been meaning to experiment with, a new content format or strategy…could be anything.
Let me know what you come up with! We’ll run our experiments together. We’ll be the lead scientists of our own lives.

Oh man, crazy month so far. The rest of it will just be…insane. But you know what? I feel wayyy more alive when I have something cool to wake up to, something BIG that I’m trying to do, and something EXCITING that I’m working on.
It’s getting late now, so I’m going to bed. But you know I’m going hard tomorrow!
And always remember: even if NO ONE else believes in you…I DO.
All the best,
Matt Karamazov
