People born with achondroplasia – a condition causing disproportionate dwarfism – don’t tend to end up as champions in the world of wrestling. In fact, only one man has ever achieved this, becoming the World Wrestling Entertainment Cruiserweight Champion at the age of 21 – and the height of 4’5”. Oshkosh, Wisconsin-born Dylan Postl worked and wrestled as Hornswoggle for the world leaders in sports entertainment for ten years, becoming the longest-tenured and unquestionably best-known little person performer in WWE history. In collaboration with Ross Owen Williams and Ian Douglass, Postl delves into the physical and emotional challenges of being a little person in both a big person’s world and a bigger person’s industry, as well as charting his own emotional path to parenthood.

365 Days of Business Advice
[/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.7″ _module_preset=”default” text_text_color=”#FFFFFF” width=”90.1%” inline_fonts=”Lato”]
It was the final day of 2018. I sat at the kitchen table, taking a breather from running around after my toddler, idly scrolling through LinkedIn. I’d become a semi-regular user of the platform over the previous year, finding some of the content highly insightful and informative. What I felt lacked, however, was advice – particularly about recruitment.
There were countless opinion pieces, often by people with a dim view of the sector and a lot of bile to spill, and I thought this was a great shame. As much as any industry has its good and bad, so too does recruitment. Over my twenty-plus years in business, I’ve experienced both the exceptional and the exceptionally poor. I could tell numerous stories of shoddy performance by some of the now ex-recruiters I’ve seen along the way but this would only be adding unnecessary fuel to a fire that doesn’t need to be alight in the first place.
In almost all of the cases where I’ve seen underperformance, it comes due to a lack of understanding rather than a lack of caring. The recruiters who damage the reputation of the industry do it unknowingly and because they’re pushed to quickly hit challenging targets with limited training.
I knew I couldn’t change an industry or reverse its reputation – but I surmised I could be the change I wanted to see. I could take some time to offer whatever advice I could, sharing some of what I’ve learned and experienced from being involved with hundreds of recruitment businesses over the last two decades. Perhaps my musings would help some managers find a way to illustrate a sticking point to their team, perhaps they would give hope to a newcomer struggling in the early days of business development.
Whether my posts offered a thinking point to ponder and discuss with colleagues, a new trick to try at work, or simply an interesting diversion for a coffee break, doing something constructive in an attempt to raise standards, no matter how little, seemed a good use of my time.
On January 1st 2019, I posted a piece of advice on LinkedIn with the intention of it becoming the first of three hundred and sixty-five. Quite a challenge, and one I wasn’t initially certain I’d be able to see through but I was determined to give it a damn good go. Initially, the posts drew a few hundred views, a handful of reactions and maybe the odd comment (some odder than others). As time went on, the initiative built momentum and the posts began to get thousands, then tens of thousands of views – and more – as well as innumerate likes and comments… it was hugely motivating to see that my words were having an impact and, for the most part, being received in the spirit in which they were offered.
By the end of the year, the series had achieved more than five million views, something I couldn’t have dreamed of when I began the project. It has since been published as an eBook on Kindle (available here) and began 2019 as the best selling business advice book on Amazon worldwide.
