"I just don’t want to work here anymore.”

After a 25-year career in which he worked his way up from social worker to the Senior Vice President at Park Ridge Hospital, Tom Brady's impulsively blurted out the words that had been brewing inside him for months. Tom was in the middle of a performance review when his boss had asked Tom why it seemed like he had lost a bit of his passion. It was this comment that triggered Tom’s stifled passion to re-emerge in his emphatic and decisive declaration.

Reckless? Courageous? Irresponsible? Inspirational? Which descriptor would you use to describe a 49-year-old family man that abruptly left a successful career to “follow his passion” despite having 2 daughters heading for college and a 7-year old son at home? No matter your adjectives of choice, few would dispute that this was an audacious move…and an idealistic one. And so The XLR8 Team was born.

Tune in to this episode to learn how Tom found the courage to make the leap and how he went on to create and deliver Wegmans Leadership University to over 300 senior leaders at Wegmans, which Danny Wegman credits as "one of the reasons we made it to #1" on Fortune's Best Companies to Work For!
