The Juggle is Real

The juggle is real.

Summer’s halfway gone (or for some people, almost done!). Target’s back-to-school shelves are half-empty, and Halloween costumes are probably next.

It feels like we’re living in a warp-speed time machine. Org charts are in flux.

Teams are being rebuilt in real time.

Layoffs are landing before we’ve even hit Q3 stride.
In just the last ten days:
• Sarepta Therapeutics cut 500 roles
• Azurity Pharmaceuticals shut its Wilmington plant (75+ gone)
• Karyopharm Therapeutics Inc. slashed 20% of its workforce

That’s just what made the headlines.
Behind the curtain?
Cytokinetics, Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, and Corcept Therapeutics are deep in year-end #PDUFA prep.

Hiring conversations are already in motion—long before the rest of the market even blinks.

Somewhere amid the building and the juggle, I finally watched the Alex-Cooper documentary on Hulu.

Yes—I’m late to the Call Her Daddy fan club. So no, I guess you can’t call me Daddy. 😅

But the documentary hit hard.

Her build-your-own-momentum energy.

That “become the reference point” fire.
That’s the fuel behind what I’m building now—for BioPharma professionals who’ve outgrown generic playbooks and deserve to drive the story.
