Leaving Corporate America: What Nobody Tells You About Freedom

Left corporate for freedom, or thinking about it? This episode is for the business owner who wants the honest version of what entrepreneurship gives you, and what it doesn't.

Co-host Rebecca Kaufman, Amanda's sister and keeper of all the lore, puts Amanda in the hot seat on the backstory: how she went from making multiple six figures as a corporate consultant to more than a decade as an entrepreneur. Amanda, founder of Clairvenu, gets into what she was most wrong about, the times she has seriously considered taking a job, the myth of job security, and the first big shift on the road to seven figures.

In this episode, you will learn:

🔥 What Amanda was most wrong about when she left corporate, and the frying pan to fire reality

💼 The seasons when taking a job looks attractive, and what she does instead

🛡️ The reason even the fanciest corporate job is not exactly job security

🏡 The lifestyle freedoms that make the hard seasons worth it

🪞 The first big shift: stop attaching your identity to your business

🌱 Where Amanda is headed next, and running your business on data over emotions
