  • Episode 3: Corporate Escapees - Part 2
    Mar 11 2025

    Our hosts are back at it, ready to sip some cider and uncover the juicy details of Michelle's career in the conclusion of this two part series! Spoiler alert: she's all about commitment!

    Even though her career aspirations changed faster than she switched outfits (classic Libra move), she was in it for the long haul with her employers. Michelle spills the tea on enjoying her time in the corporate grind and what it was like working for an employer that valued her hard work. Of course, it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows - Michelle gets real about craving flexibility to be there for her family, not being a morning person, and working like a boss until the job was finally done!

    Other hot topics? How to pivot your business when the world throws a curveball (looking at you, COVID), staying true to your vibe on socials, and the never-ending learning that comes with being Freelance AF!

    (This episode and the last ran a little longer than anticipated, but rest assured our episodes will return to their 20-30 minute target next week.)

    Mar 4 2025

    Your favourite corporate escapees are back in the first of a two part series to tell the tale of how they broke free of their corporate overlords' chains and struck out on their own to become freelance AF.

    Michelle and Sean start by fulfilling a promise from the first episode - to have a drink! This episode's pour is Duntroon Cyder House's Empire Extra Dry cyder, a deliciously dry offering that is similar to a traditional English cyder.

    From there, Michelle delves into a thought-provoking series of questions, tracing Sean's career journey from his childhood aspirations to the corporate role he held before launching his own business. They discuss the peaks and valleys of working in both large corporations and small enterprises, highlighting the invaluable insights diverse work experiences offer budding entrepreneurs. Sean opens up about his mental health journey, reflecting on how he discovered the right mindset and strategies to realize his career ambitions. He concludes the interview with three pieces of advice he would give to his pre-entrepreneurial self.
