We all have been hearing about layoffs lately. It's a tough time. while I do completely empathize with them, I would like to share some practical lessons I have learned in my career.

Why take layoff lessons from me?

I believe I had an antifragile career. I have done my own startups (one successful small exit, the other failed), worked in agencies, and product companies, and a few years back tried a self-employed lifestyle.
