Listen to the Latest EpisodeI watched my dad run two small businesses. Both failed. Not because he lacked passion or work ethic — he had more of both than anyone I have ever known. But he did not have access to the knowledge and support that could have made the difference. That expertise was locked inside corporate. And corporate had no interest in sharing it.
I spent 25 years inside corporate learning everything my dad never had access to. Then corporate quit on me.
Instead of going back I asked a different question. What if everything I learned inside corporate could actually help the people corporate was never built to serve?
Six years later that question has become a movement. The corporate professional deserves better than what the system gave them. The small business owner deserves access to talent and expertise that was always out of reach.
And the future of work is being built right now by experienced professionals who said WTF and bet on themselves. That is what The Corporate Escapee is about.
