45. Life's Too Short To Live For The Weekend. Feat. Therese Merkel

53 minutes

Today we are chattin' with the one and only Tricky Foods (Therese Merkel). Therese left her full-time job in early 2020 to take some time off to travel, spend time with friends, and figure out what was next after exiting the burnout cycle of her corporate job. But as we know, the world had other plans for 2020 which left Therese unemployed amidst a global pandemic with nothing but time to think about what came next for her. Then, the stillness of 2020 Tricky Food's, the business was born. In this conversation we discuss:

How to know if it is time to leave your job

Why there is no pride in staying at a job you hate for a long time

How Therese built a business with no formal culinary experience amidst a global pandemic

Why it is possible for anyone to pursue what they are passionate about

The importance of building a passionate community, especially as a solopreneur

Why Therese refuses to live for the weekends

Therese's belief that there are absolutely no rules for what you can do with your life

How to build the community you crave

Why the fastest way to rise is to bring someone up with you
