Season 2025 Episode 1: Let Sean McMann teach you how to bust out of the corporate jungle!

from The Storied Human (What is your Story?) · host Lynne Thompson

Go ahead and text me! Recruited right out of college to work at one of the largest data firms, Sean McMann embarked on an eight-year journey from new grad to consulting director. Privileged to see behind the curtain of some of the largest corporations today, he recognized the system was broken and quit at the height of his career, when working the least but making the most money he ever had, betting everything, including his money, reputation, and time, on trying to fix the problem of the corporate jungle. He shares his insights in his new book, Hacking the Corporate Jungle: How to Work Less, Make More and Actually Like Your Life. When he's not writing, researching, and speaking, McMann spends his time riding his bike, visiting art museums, snowboarding, and playing with his two young sons. Learn more at seanmcmann.com.Music Note: NEW for 2025!
