Wes Wheless got laid off twice inside a few years. COVID, then the tech downturn. He wasn't angry about the second one. He just didn't have the energy to go attach himself to somebody else's mission again and wait for it to get taken away.He didn't have a plan. He took a couple months, picked up some contract work to hold him over, and then a light bulb went off: if he could find enough of these, he might never need a full-time job again.Four years later he's got a practice serving independent consultants and a book, The Expert's Privilege, that I told him he should have written before I left corporate.The core idea is three stacked pieces:You've built real, transferable expertise over your decades in corporate.That expertise has been inefficiently deployed inside the corporate machine.You can deploy it far better on your own.His metaphor for point two is the one that stuck with me. Imagine running a cruise line with a hundred ships and fifty of them permanently tied up in port. That's what corporate does with what you know.We also get into the stuff nobody tells you. Why hourly pricing punishes you for being good. What happens when a client pigeonholes you before you open your mouth. How he figured out which part of his own service people actually valued, and then sold only that. And the thing I keep running into with Gen Xers: deeply experienced people who sit down, look at twenty-five years of work, and say "I don't know what I know."In this episode:Two layoffs, and the one that changed his mind about going backClient zero, and why hourly was the wrong modelGetting pigeonholed as "a writer" and the pricing that comes with itThe coach question that triggered his pivot: do you actually like doing this work?Writing daily for two years before there was a bookWhy he deliberately left AI out of the bookThe Expert's Privilege, definedIntellectual headshots, and how asking former clients one question reshaped his businessInvesting in yourself when corporate always paid for it beforeTIMESTAMPS00:00 — Intro01:43 — Two layoffs, and why he didn't want another corporate role03:26 — Why almost nobody who gets out wants to go back04:32 — He didn't know solo consulting was even an option06:43 — What the work actually was: executive ghostwriting and content strategy08:22 — Client zero, and the first lesson about hourly rates09:18 — Project fees, and putting guardrails on your availability10:44 — Getting pigeonholed as "a writer" before the conversation starts12:14 — When the business model started breaking13:11 — The coach's question: do you actually like doing this work?13:41 — The pivot to serving independent consultants14:59 — Brett's own winding path out of corporate15:53 — The three-tier offer, and why clients almost always pick the middle16:50 — Helping people map their lane while they're still employed17:47 — "I never gave serious thought that I could take the reins myself"20:18 — Building authority from zero, and writing daily for two years21:44 — You turn around and there's a library there22:34 — The self-doubt going into the book23:10 — Not the book.

That's how we are in corporate." — Wes"I was that person four months ago that was getting put in the corner. And here, in a different context, they're desperate to know what I know." — Wes"If you're good at something, an hourly rate doesn't do you any favors." — Wes"Don't think of it as the book. Think of it as a book. Even easier, your first book." — Wes, on the advice that unstuck him"I don't know what I know. I've done so many things that I feel like I can't do any of them." — Wes, on what he hears constantly"Think of your current job like you're a small business owner with one client. Is that a good deal for you?" — Brett"If you were laid off tomorrow, do you want to start from square one, or do you want to feel like you had a head start?" — WesABOUT THE GUESTWes Wheless is the author of The Expert's Privilege: A Self-Deployment Guide to Leaving Corporate and Going Solo (July 2026). After two layoffs, including one from the tech education company Reforge, he built an independent practice helping solo consultants pull their expertise out of their heads and turn it into visual frameworks, something he calls intellectual headshots. He now also works with people still inside corporate who want to map and pressure-test a consulting lane before they need one.LINKSThe book The Expert's Privilege: A Self-Deployment Guide to Leaving Corporate and Going Solo https://theexpertsprivilege.com/ Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Experts-Privilege-Self-Deployment-Leaving-Corporate/dp/1788464028Wes's site and services https://bio.site/weswhelessWes on LinkedIn — https://www.linkedin.com/in/wwheless/The Collective https://trp-collective.circle.soQuestions or guest ideas? bt@bretttrainor.com

What does it take to build a profitable company for a decade without ever really needing the money you raised? According to Joshua Browder, it comes down to one trait he looks for in every founder he backs: grit.Josh is the founder and CEO of DoNotPay, the consumer platform he started the summer before he enrolled at Stanford to help friends fight parking tickets. Nearly ten years later, DoNotPay has helped millions of people appeal tickets, cancel subscriptions, and fight companies and the government - and it's profitable enough that it pays dividends back to its own investors and team. Along the way, Josh raised from Andreessen Horowitz and Founders Fund, took the Thiel Fellowship (leaving Stanford one class short of his degree), and built a reputation as one of the more unconventional operators in consumer tech.Today, Josh also runs Browder Capital, a solo-GP pre-seed fund now on its fourth vehicle and backed by institutions including Sequoia. His model is deliberately narrow: one founder at a time, often moved into his own spare bedroom, with full access to his network until they raise an institutional seed round - then he moves on to the next.Nick and Josh get into the early days of DoNotPay - jailbreaking iPhones, an unauthorized Pret A Manger app that nearly got him sued at 14, and the Huffington Post post that took the company from 10 users to 50,000 in a week - and how that scrappy, bootstrapped era shaped the way he runs the company today. They also dig into DoNotPay's ongoing arms race with robocallers and big companies, why Josh thinks grit beats IQ when evaluating founders, how he tests for it in real time, and why - even as a full-time investor - he'd tell almost anyone to start a company before starting a fund.Time Stamps[02:27] Josh Browder's Origin Story: From London to Stanford[04:08] Jailbreaking iPhones, Selling Apps, and the Pret A Manger Cease-and-Desist[06:32] Coding DoNotPay the Summer Before Stanford and Going Viral Overnight[10:08] Nonprofit or For-Profit?

With Dan away traveling for the next two weeks, Paul is going solo… so what better time to play one of his favorite solo fantasy games ever? It's Barbarian Prince! Barbarian Prince is a sprawling fantasy hexcrawl game published by Dwarfstar Games in 1981 and designed by Arnold Hendrick. This game has been a personal favorite of Paul's for decades. It directly inspired his mobile game Road of Kings and continues to influence his current AI-powered RPG project, Hexcrawl. If you've ever wondered where his fascination with sandbox adventures, procedural encounters, and open-world fantasy comes from, this is the game that started it all. Longtime viewers may also recognize some similarities to Dan's classic Outdoor Spoliation D&D adventure, which adapts the original Outdoor Survival board game into a tabletop hexcrawl. While the approach is different, both capture the spirit of exploring an unpredictable wilderness one hex at a time. Join Paul live as he explores the wilderness! He'll be keeping an eye on chat throughout the adventure, taking your suggestions, answering questions about Barbarian Prince, solo gaming, and hexcrawl design, and talking about the ways this classic game has influenced his own projects over the years. Check out Paul's earlier video, "Can I Play Dungeons & Dragons Alone?" Watch Dan and Paul play Solo D&D

Dr. Steven Mercer, an adjunct professor at the University of California-San Diego and an independent educational consultant, speaks from personal experience when he instructs solo entrepreneurs and consultants on how to build a service practice without sacrificing their values, time, or financial stability.  According to a 2025 Census Bureau report, there are 29.8 million solopreneurs in the United States who contribute an estimated $1.7 trillion to the US economy. On a bare-bones marketing budget, Dr. Mercer has managed to grow his business — Mercer Educational Consulting, which consults high school students and their parents on the best ways to get accepted into college — into a global enterprise. On this week's episode, Dr. Mercer offers lessons on how to transition gradually from employment to independent practice, attract clients through referrals and useful content, and decide when advertising makes sense.  Although there will not be a test, listeners will be schooled on the best ways to set fees, establish boundaries, and handle difficult clients. Monday Morning Radio, now in its 15th season, is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

Wondering How to Get Consulting or Coaching Clients...Without Relying on Referrals? At first, relying on referrals to get consulting or coaching clients is great… and reliable. Or at least reliable enough. Your generous network sends business your way. Then thrilled former clients introduce you to new ones. Only problem? This works…until it stops and the question sets in: What do I do when getting clients primarily through relying on connections and referrals is no longer enough? If you have been asking yourself these questions, this episode is for you! In this conversation, seasoned leadership coach and my client Cori Crawford Van Oss and I take you behind the scenes of what it really takes to make the shift from the hustle of getting clients through asking for referrals and the agonizing waiting game to the flow of attracting the right clients – the ones you're called to serve - to you. We talk about the role that content plays in expanding your reach and your impact, and how to overcome the #1 barrier to getting started – which is clarity and confidence in who you help, the problems you solve, the value you create, and your unique perspective that drives how you think about and approach your consulting or coaching. We also got into how calling herself a trusted advisor (in addition to a coach) with the eyes to see things her clients can't, helped her not only differentiate herself in the market but truly own her unique God-given gifting. We talk about how remarkable content doesn't just showcase our big ideas but meets clients where they are at each step in their buying journey. But the real power of owning our unique brand position, clarifying our message, and creating content isn't about marketing but creating the conditions for transformation, as it provides the psychological safety that it requires. It's about instilling trust, living our purpose, and making meaning out of our deepest wounds and most painful experiences, which is where the sources for our greatest credibility, empathy, and uniqueness lie. If your real question isn't just about making a shift in your approach to getting clients from chasing or waiting for them to drawing them to you, but it's more about how to create sustainable success from the inside out, this episode is for you.

In this episode of The Truth In This Art, the guest is Bernard Feinsod!About Bernard Feinsod: Editor, producer, writer, director, sound designer, and voice actor with over 17 years of experience in comedy, documentary, news, variety entertainment, and live events. A Baltimore-raised, Brooklyn-based creative who started at NBC's Today Show at 21, spent eight years at Vice Media, and is now navigating the independent content creator landscape.In our conversation, Feinsod talks through his 17-year journey in post-production—from the NBC mail room to creative producer, working with Sony, Field and Stream, and Huckberry across television, film, and new media. He connects his Baltimore DIY roots to his New York work and digs into how transitioning from Vice staffer to freelancer reshaped his creative approach. As he puts it, "it's easy to get complacent when you have like a day job that's holding you down so well."He recalls his time at Vice Media as "the best job I ever had," shares stories from editing Bret Raybould's comedy special, and discusses heading into a new self-starting phase. We get into the realities of working from a Brooklyn apartment edit suite for six years, the mass exodus from Vice, and how the last two years as an independent have pushed him toward more passion-driven, project-based creative work.Be sure to follow Bernard Feinsod to keep up with his work and future projects.Photo credit: Dan St. Ours The Truth In This Art is supported by William G.

Why is it so hard to do what we know is good for us? You know you need to make better use of your gym membership, clean up your diet, or manage stress better… Why is it so hard to do what we know is good for us? Most adults don't struggle with information. We know we should move more, eat better, manage stress, and prioritize sleep. And yet, consistency is where things fall apart. In this episode of The Health Made Simple Show, Dr. Bart explores the real reason progress stalls — and why going solo might be the biggest obstacle to long-term health. After nearly 30 years in practice, he's seen a consistent pattern: people lean into what they're already good at and avoid the one area that would actually move the needle. In this episode, you'll learn: How to identify your personal "weak link" in health Why improving your strongest habit won't create real transformation The three core categories that determine long-term wellness Why most adults plateau (even when they're trying) How accountability accelerates long-term results Longevity isn't about stacking more strategies. It's about addressing the area you've been avoiding. And if you're ready to stop going solo and build a structured, personalized plan with real accountability:

Jon the Escapee Collective!What keeps 79% of corporate professionals stuck isn't lack of skills or opportunity—it's something deeper. In this solo episode, Brett shares the story of landing his first client, making good money, and then doing something that still makes him cringe: convincing that company to hire him full-time. Nobody forced him back. He walked himself in.This mistake cost him 18 months and taught him the hard truth: leaving corporate is tactical, but breaking your dependency on it is psychological. Brett breaks down what corporate dependency actually is (hint: it's not just the paycheck), why going solo alone reinforces that dependency, and the two critical milestones that finally sever the tie.If you're still in corporate and thinking about making a move—or you've already left but still feel the pull—this episode will help you understand what you're really up against and how to break free for good.What You'll Learn:Why corporate dependency is psychological, not financialThe three things you're actually dependent on (and it's not what you think)Why isolation amplifies doubt and keeps you stuckThe two milestones that break corporate relianceHow to avoid the mistake that sent Brett back 18 monthsWhy community matters more than tactics when going soloKey Quotes:"I hadn't really thought about why I did it, but it was really my dependence and my reliance on corporate.""What I really broke it down into three areas: I wanted control of my future, control of my money, and control of my time.""When you go alone, you have nothing else except yourself to talk you in or out of what you're doing.""Once you get to the point where you're confident that you can bring in that next deal, you know you're never going back.""I wasn't escaping corporate per se. I didn't have to stay there. I had options."Resources Mentioned:The Escapee Collective: Join Brett's community Subscribe & Connect: If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe to The Corporate Escapee Podcast on your favorite platform.

In this episode, I share the trade-offs of writing my third book solo versus collaborating with a partner. Reflecting on the proverb, "If you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together," I weigh the speed of my first solo project against the depth and reach of my recent partnership with Mike Kim. Whether you're launching a business or writing a book, I break down how to choose the right approach for your goals and why keeping an outside perspective is essential even when you're flying solo.I hope you enjoy it! As always you can learn more and connect with me on my website (andystorch.com) or LinkedIn. And you can find my books - Own Your Career Own Your Life and Own Your Brand, Own Your Career - on Amazon.

Today I'm sharing a short solo episode from my other podcast, The Andy Storch Show, all about the trade-offs between collaborating or working alone. I was reflecting on this beacuse how different it has been working on books on my own vs. with a partner. I wonder if you can relate. You can listen to more episodes on The Andy Storch Show now on Apple or Spotify or anywhere you listen to podcasts.
