A podcast about, well, quitting your job. And all of the anxiety and fear that build up before quitting your job. And all of the outcomes — good and bad — after quitting your job.
Maggie Carruth O'Connor and Meghan Just Lindsay
This ep features McKenzie Bergenback, an artist, graphic designer, fashion expert, fitness lover, and so much more.

In this episode, we hear from Meghan’s husband, John, about leaving the family business to go out on his own. He provides insight about how he knew it was time to leave, and how his extracurricular activities give him perspective. Also, he names Meghan has his sponsor, which is pretty cute :)
On this ep, we have interior designer and super-friend of the pod, Fran Rawls, as a guest. Aside from possibly having the best laugh in the entire world, she shares how she, too, is a polymath and is finding her way to her passions through uncontrollable adversity and an incredibly inspiring outlook on life.
Have you ever quit a cushy job to join the PeaceCorps? No? Chris O'Connor has. Maggie interviews Chris (her husband) and he shares his unique experience.
On the first ep of our second season, we interview Maggie's dear friend who has persevered countless times to get to where she's at now: Physician's Assistant (PA) school at Emory School of Medicine. In this ep, you'll hear a truly inspiring story that's all about going after what you know you're called to do in life.
On the final ep of season 1 (yeah, we know this was a short season), we look back at what we’ve learned from this experience — hard skills and soft skills. We also talk about what you can expect in season 2. And we are already stoked for what’s to come. Expect engaging and insightful interviews with others who have quit jobs (or been fired) with takeaways that are all so unique.
On ep 5, we talk about some of the stressors involved when quitting your job. And obviously, we talk about emotional support/therapy animals.
Both of us are cautiously getting our entrepreneurial feet wet. We talk about our journeys so far. Then, we dive pretty deep into the topic of feedback. Maggie argues feedback is harder to give than to receive.
We've held other jobs and almost all of them involved us leaving. We're pretty sure these stories are relatable. This ep has some good nuggets. No spoilers here.

On our first ep ever, we share how we came up with this random idea, why we're making a podcast, and how everything ties back to being a polymath.
