You Are the Product: A New Kind of Résumé

Not every résumé fits on paper.

In this reflective episode, Naya explores how proof, process, and storytelling form the foundation of your modern résumé one that evolves with every lesson, pivot, and product you build.

Because in the end, you are the product.

Timestamps

• 00:00 – 00:30 — Introduction: “You are the product.”

• 00:30 – 01:00 — The story of being laid off and discovering the power of documentation.

• 01:00 – 02:00 — Point 1: Your proof is your portfolio.

• 02:00 – 02:30 — Point 2: Your process is your brand.

• 02:30 – 03:30 — Point 3: Your story is your strategy.

• 03:30 – 05:00 — Product thinking as iteration, not restarting.

• 05:00 – End — Closing reflections + call to action to audit your proof.

Key Takeaways

• Your résumé isn’t a document; it’s your proof in motion.

• Proof builds trust faster than credentials.

• Your process — how you communicate, plan, and execute — is your real brand.

• Storytelling helps you connect your past to your next pivot.

• You’re not behind; you’re just iterating.
