About this episode

In this episode, Noelle Cordeaux sits down with Tobias Weghorn — co-founder of metaFox and host of the Making of a Coach podcast — to unpack emotional granularity: the skill of moving from "I feel like sh*t" to "I feel lonely, because my need for connection isn't met," and why that shift is where real change begins.

Coming from an engineering background and grounded in systemic NLP, mindfulness, and strengths psychology, Tobi shows how metaFox's picture and emotion cards give coaches a low-friction way to help clients go deep, fast.

In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why a bigger emotional vocabulary makes feelings actionable
  • The two levels of EQ: having the words, and feeling it in your body
  • The "third object effect"... why clients reveal more when they talk about an image instead of themselves
  • What to reach for when a client keeps saying "I don't know"

Quick answers about how DevFound's AI matching, resumes, and referrals work.

DevFound's AI Copilot ingests your profile, goals, and live job data to deliver curated matches in seconds. Every match includes a resume variant, suggested referrals, and interview prep so you can act immediately. The more feedback you provide, the sharper the Copilot becomes.

AI-led job searches shrink the hours spent sifting through boards and formatting resumes. DevFound pairs automation with your personal outreach, so you reserve energy for interviews and negotiation. Traditional networking still matters, but AI gives you a lift before you even send a message.

Modern AI roles expect comfort with production-grade code, data fluency, and practical ML tooling. The strongest candidates pair deep technical chops with storytelling—translating model impact to product, GTM, and exec partners. Continuous learning keeps you ahead as stacks evolve.

DevFound rewards active seekers. Keep your profile fresh, respond to match quality prompts, and enable alerts so you never miss a role. The AI prioritizes companies and teams that align with your feedback, accelerating both introductions and interview invites.

High-density tech hubs continue to host the deepest AI talent pools, yet distributed teams are catching up fast. Use DevFound filters to hone in on onsite, hybrid, or fully remote roles and watch openings expand across time zones.

DevFound aggregates thousands of remote AI openings and flags the nuances—core hours, async culture, and visa needs—up front. The Copilot also recommends how to position your distributed work experience so hiring managers know you can thrive on a remote team.
