You've been isolated for years. You just didn't notice because you were trapped in meetings.

So let's confront the isolation you're already living, and the fear that leaving corporate will make it worse. Because work friendships come with an asterisk, and now you're worried solopreneurship means being even more alone.

Before you go from the frying pan to the fire, we'll get clear about what isolation actually is, how to fight it, and how to design a social world that supports your reinvention.

You'll learn:

• The corporate isolation you're already living - Why work friendships disappear after you leave (and why you'll weirdly miss people you didn't even like)
• Signs you're not out in the world enough - How to honestly assess how much isolation you're creating yourself (even if it makes you cranky)
• You get to choose now - Why "I no longer associate with unpleasant people" isn't radical; it's smart. Plus, how to figure out your capacity for social interaction
• What you actually need - How to design the right mix of connection: who you let in, what kind of contact energizes you, and how to start building community now
