Ep 11: Quitting Your Startup Job at 29 to Become a Pro Soccer Player (Here's What Happened)

Meet Sarah Cox, a Stanford graduate who walked away from a high-growth startup career in her late 20s to return to something she thought she’d left behind for good: professional soccer. After nearly a decade off the pitch, Sarah made the wild, bold move to re-enter elite sport — and she’s now a pro goalkeeper for Lexington SC in Kentucky.This conversation is packed with everything you really want to know when you’re standing on the edge of change:Is it too late? What if people laugh when I say my dream out loud?How do I give up a successful career to chase a dream?What if I fail?We unpack how Sarah rebuilt belief, the structure she created to make it real, and what it feels like to play 100% for yourself.Whether you’re feeling career burn-out, an identity wobble, or just that gnawing itch that there’s more — this one’s for you.🎧 Tune in and remember: it’s not too late, you’re not too far, and there’s no rulebook on when your next chapter begins.Sarah's instagram
