The Corporate Escapee: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Brett Trainor
You're not stuck in a bad job. You're stuck in an unhealthy reliance on corporate. And when it no longer works for you, that reliance becomes a trap. 70% of corporate workers are burned out. Not from the work itself, but from what comes with it: the politics, the layoff threats, the commute, the stress of playing games you don't believe in. Here's the truth: Corporate optimizes for one thing: Financial (your paycheck). But what about the other four areas of your life? Friends & Family (time with people who matter) Fitness (mental and physical health) Fulfillment (work that actually means something) Fun (remember that?) You're probably scoring high on Financial—and failing at the other four. That's not sustainable. And deep down, you know it. I'm Brett Trainor—corporate escapee after 25+ years. This show is about breaking your unhealthy reliance on corporate and building a life-first future where all 5Fs matter. Every week, I talk to people who've done it—not just to make money, but to
