The Apex Institute is launching The 1% Move, a weekly podcast hosted by founder Tayo Lusi that examines how cloud engineers moved from roughly $120,000 to $300,000 and above by changing how they build proof, present their work and approach interviews and offers. The first episode is scheduled for Tuesday, August 18, 2026, with weekly releases on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and other major platforms, plus related video breakdowns on YouTube at techwithtayo. The show is listed under Business and Careers, recorded in English, and centers on recurring themes including cloud engineering as a high-income leverage skill, positioning existing work effectively, deciding what to learn and skip, interview strategy for senior and staff roles, and negotiating when an offer comes in low. Lusi, founder of The Apex Institute in Lanham, Maryland, says the target audience is working tech professionals rather than beginners, particularly people already earning about $100,000 to $200,000 who feel they have been passed over for raises. The release says guests are students from the program and cites more than $11 million in reported job offers across 41 students, while noting results vary and are not typical. Examples cited include Isaac, described as laid off from Amazon before receiving about $1.5 million in total offers; Christopher, who moved from $155,000 to roughly $1.1 million across six offers in four to five months; Greg, with $635,000 in offers in 49 days; Cleo, who went from $65,000 to $601,000 while working two cloud roles; and Malcolm, who moved from hospital work at $40,000 to a cloud engineer role at $100,000. The release also argues that AI is increasing demand for cloud, security, cost and reliability skills because artificial intelligence systems run on infrastructure, and it cites U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projections showing computer and information technology employment growing faster than the average for all occupations.
