Podcasts about corporate school dropout

In this week's episode, I sit down with Lauren Allen, the found of Corporate School Dropout. She is not only a friend of mine, but an inspiration to anyone who is looking to ditch the 9 to 5, and follow the internal guidance that tells them they are made for more. She herself went through this process over 4+ years ago now, and through that experience, she took key learnings and developed the community, podcast, and thriving business she has today! The first step that lead to significant change in Lauren's life came from the guidance that she received from a kind voice within. Do you hear that voice too? Have you followed it's direction? It might feel uncertain as to where it will lead, but in today's episode, we discuss the importance of listening to that internal guidance and how it has lead Lauren to where she is today, along with some other nuggets of wisdom. After all, the goal of this podcast is to remind you to Connect Back In to who you truly are so that you can find everything that you're looking for outside of yourself. My hope is that you feel inspired to start listening to  your own internal nudges, and stop holding back on living the life you were meant to live. Enjoy! More on Lauren:  Lauren Allen is the founder of Corporate School Dropout. After 15+ years as a Project Manager Professional (PMP), she's pivoted her skills to support new business owners to launch their business and create their corporate exit plan. Lauren has aligned her passion for helping others with a multitude of resources to inspire, motivate, and empower them to make changes to serve their best life.

Breaking away from corporate life can be an intimidating and confusing process. From building your business from the ground up to finding the right support are a couple of the steps you must take in entrepreneurship. With four years of experience in coaching and running her own successful business, today’s guest, Lauren Allen, explains how you can build your community and business after dropping out of corporate life. After spending 15 years climbing the corporate ladder, Lauren finally realized that it was not her true calling. Without having a solid plan or an idea of what was happening, she packed her bags and moved to San Diego, believing that she was going to figure it all out on the way. By surrounding herself with people living life on their terms, she decided to start her coaching business and podcast, Corporate School Dropout. For the past four years, she has been helping women step by step launch their businesses as well as creating that strong support system every person needs. Learn to Let GoThe main issue that Lauren comes across in her clients (and even herself) is decision-making fatigue. This causes you to use all your mental and creative energy on your business and life. Instead of trying to figure it all out, let things go. Understand that you cannot do everything and that people overrate perfection. Lean on your support system and truly see if the task aligns with your mission.You can learn how to let some things go by having a routine that relaxes you. Lauren has a morning routine of journaling, watching podcasts and reading to help put her in the right mindset.Do Not Forget to Take Care of YourselfAs humans, we sometimes feel like machines. However, just like machines, if you skip your maintenance check, you will break down. Lauren explains that “rest and recharg(ing) is part of the creative process.” You need to give yourself the space you need. The people you work and surround yourself with also affect how you take care of yourself. While a "support system will make you happier," it matters who you work with. There is an energy exchange between people. Only work with people who will challenge or help you in the right ways. When finding clients, customers or support, define your boundaries and know red flags. Starting a business is an emotional journey that has its ups and downs, but having the right connections and community will take you down a successful path. Are you ready to start building your business and community? Lauren has an endless supply of connections, advice, support and more.

EP 056 - Larissa Bodniowycz, adventure blogger of Sort of Legal and small business attorney with Bold City Legal, graduated with her law degree smack dab in the middle of the recession of the mid-2000’s. Like so many new graduates at that time, she was grateful for any job and took on retail work to make ends meet. Larissa quickly realized that corporate law wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be and without positive role models in the industry to guide her, she took her talents to education where she learned more of the ins/outs of business. After several years of working in education, Larissa decided to give her law degree another shot and started a transactional law firm that allowed her to work from anywhere. The adventure and travel blogging started as a way to share her stories with friends and family and has turned into a passion for sharing her solo-travel tips and provide resources and guides for interested readers. You can always find Larissa on a hike in the mountains and exploring the local craft beer scene.

Episode 028 - Briana Ellis, the owner of Ritual Architecture, quickly jumped into her chosen profession right after college.

Episode 027 - Chris Healy, the co-founder of The Longhairs, started his career right out of college by working with the national headquarters of his fraternity, Sigma Nu.

Chris explored and traveled for eleven months, landed in San Diego, CA, and then went to work with his business partner to build a web design agency. The idea for The Longhairs was born several years later after he and his business partner had grown their hair long, and they were tired of shopping for hair ties and not finding suitable products for men. Five years later, The Longhairs have not only made a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank but hold a Guinness World Record.

She started by growing a freelance business building websites, then transitioned into affiliate sales, and finally added a podcast called Pep Talks for Side Hustlers.
