Back in the day, between the ages of 22 and 26, I found myself in the world of corporate day jobs. I worked at prestigious companies like Intel, Facebook, and Mint. While I had some incredible experiences, I couldn't shake the desire to start my own venture. As a result, I often found myself either getting let go or leaving these roles prematurely.

In this rerun episode I question ‘If I could turn back the clock, what are the things I would do differently?’.

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

Leveraging Your Day Job: Discover how your current job can be a valuable resource as you start planting the seeds for your future business success.
Risk Management: Learn why it's essential to de-risk your approach when launching your business and avoid making impulsive decisions that could lead to a hard fall.
Timing Is Key: When is the right time to leave your day job and fully commit to your entrepreneurial pursuits.

Enjoy those 3 things… plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
