I Quit! - The Podcast

Congrats. You quit your job. Now what? This week's episode is all about day one of being an entrepreneur. I talk to two gents during the first few hours of their brand new company.

For the past few months, our news feeds have been filled with stories of millions of people quitting their jobs, whether it be from exhaustion, pandemic shock, or for more personal reasons. After all, sitting in our homes for months on end gave a lot of people something they never had before: time.

Maggie Greene used that time to think about what she wanted to do with her life.

So she quit.

And she started a company that’s tailored to help others.

Picture this. You’re working in one of the hottest industries. You’re helping to create projects that movie buffs literally wait years, if not lifetimes, to see. It’s a job that provides you a behind the scenes look at some of the world’s biggest film franchises, while also keeping you conveniently employed during the pandemic.

You seemingly have a job that many would probably kill for ...but….you want something else. Pandemic or not. Samira Khan had that exact feeling...until she decided to do something about it.

Here's a sneak peek of the third season of "I Quit!" We'll be talking to entrepreneurs that not only quit their jobs, they did it during a global pandemic! Stay tuned for new episodes packed with inspiring stories of small business owners who navigated the pandemic in ways that not even they thought would be possible.

Money, money, money. We all want it, we all need it, and when you work for yourself, it can often be all you think about it. But the pursuit of money often, ironically, comes at cost to both your personal and professional life. On this episode of I Quit, we’re going to change it up a bit and talk to someone who didn’t quit their job, but quit a specific philosophy about work. Al Devani, is the co-founder of RNDSQR and he decided to do something that most entrepreneurs couldn’t dream of doing: quit what is for many the ultimate goal: Easy Money.

For many small business owners, the idea of a running your own business (and it being successful) is a dream come true, and they couldn’t imagine ever giving it up. But for other entrepreneurs like Dawn Bradley, if you trust your gut and the right opportunity comes knocking, sometimes closing up your own shop and starting all over again in a new city is not only thrilling, but exactly what your business needed to grow!

This is episode 17 of the first season of the podcast "I Quit!", hosted by Mike Morrison (@mikesbloggity).

The path of being an entrepreneur is a winding road with many highs and lows. But for many, that journey often starts by saying two magical words: “I Quit!”.

Welcome to episode 16 of I Quit!

Connor and Leslie Gould are the creators of the highly successful Camp Brand Goods clothing line, but these two didn’t set out to be fashion designers. However, their passion to take on a new and exciting challenge led them down a path they never thought possible.

Activism is never easy. With every click of your keyboard, or every time you form a word with your mouth, you put both your heart and career on the line, and when you work for yourself, it’s even riskier. So for this episode, I wanted to bring in one of the most incredible activists I know, Pam Rocker; and ask her about why she would ever quit her day job to take the often daunting challenge of professional activism.

Quitting your job can be nerve-wracking, lord knows that why I made a whole podcast about it, but how do quit your job when your boss...is also your sister? Talk about awkward family dinners.
