He just didn't know he was talking about corporate.*Here's the truth: corporate already quit on you. Maybe it was a layoff. Maybe it was a role that slowly stopped making sense. Maybe you just woke up one day and realized the institution you built your life around stopped caring a long time ago.That's the spark. WTF is the permission.This show is for the ones who are ready to use it.Hosted by Brett Trainor — corporate escapee, serial experimenter, and 6-year proof that it works — The Corporate Escapee brings you real, unfiltered conversations with people who said WTF and built something.
