The Hardest Boss to Fire Is You (with Diana Alt)

"Work should feel good. Not a long, slow march to oblivion."

That's Diana Alt, and it's the perfect line to open our first guest episode under The Time Rich Project.

Diana is an executive and career coach who came out of tech. She works with people who are still in corporate and quietly wondering if this is it. Her take lines up with where this show is headed: corporate isn't the enemy. It's a client. You get to decide if the deal still works for you.

We got into:

The four cornerstones of an aligned career (right work, right boss, environment, culture) and how to spot which one is actually broken

Why burnout comes more from misalignment than from long hours

"The hardest boss to fire is you," and why building a business you hate is easier than you'd think

Mission vs. money: don't burn down the thing paying the bills to chase the thing that lights you up

Why anyone with 10+ years of experience should have an LLC in their back pocket

The only two things you need to make your first dollar on your own: an offer and a way to get paid

If corporate has stopped feeling good, this one gives you a way to figure out why, and what to do next.
