In today’s episode of the That Should be Working Podcast, Coll + Rich introduce the first of a series called the Startup Graduate.

This first episode explores the real meaning of being a "startup graduate"—the constant journey of learning, adapting, and breaking free from corporate norms. 

Coll + Rich share honest stories about moving from structured, corporate roles to the chaotic creativity and unique challenges of startup culture. Together, they reflect on the diversity, rapid growth, and irreplaceable exposure that defines life in a startup, offering guidance for anyone considering the leap. 

Key Discussion Points

• The definition of a "startup graduate" and why it’s a school you never truly graduate from.
• Contrasts between startup and corporate environments—chaos versus structure, freedom versus predefined roles.
• Reflection on the value of seeing direct impact from one’s work, unlike the slower feedback loops of large corporations
