In this episode, I’m sharing the seven beliefs I had to unlearn before I could finally leave my corporate job and build Side Hustle Pro full time. I spent decades in corporate America, working at places like HBO, MTV, Google, and NPR, and even though I knew I wanted to leave, I wasn’t mentally ready until I confronted the internal beliefs that kept me tied to that life.

  • 00:00 – My corporate background and why I’m scratching the record on old habits
  • 03:01 – The seven things I had to unlearn to build Side Hustle Pro full time

  • 11:25 – Why other people’s opinions could not be my decision making system
  • 17:31 – Unlearning that a job or promotion was my only path to more money
  • 21:59 – Pay inequity in corporate and why the ceiling is lower than it seems
  • 22:49 – Unlearning that I was limited to doing only what I had already done
  • 27:33 – Confusing busyness with meaningful progress, and the one hour a day model
