Exiting the Tech Business

Listen Later

On this episode, we talk to Matt Barron, who as of today left his job as a senior designer at Thinkmill… and exited the tech business entirely.


We talk to Matt about the motivation for leaving the tech business after being fully immersed in it for almost 30 years. We discuss the courage it takes to leave something behind that you’ve become so skilled at, and how humbling it is starting anew at the bottom.

Matt’s story isn’t your typical one, but perhaps that’s the point. And perhaps we can all find something in his journey that resonates with us.

Tune in to find out the job that Matt’s exiting the tech business for!
