From the publisher
The Corporate Escapee with Brett Trainor Finding financial independence and living your best life after corporate quits on you Tom Cruise said it best in Risky Business: "Sometimes you gotta say what the f** and make your move." He just didn't know he was talking about corporate. Here's the truth most people won't say out loud: corporate already quit on you. Maybe it was a layoff. Maybe it was a role that slowly stopped making sense. Maybe you just woke up one day and realized the institution you built your life around stopped caring a long time ago. That moment — that WTF moment — isn't the end. It's the beginning. This show is for the people who are ready to use it. The Corporate Escapee is a weekly podcast hosted by Brett Trainor — corporate escapee, serial experimenter, and six-year proof that there is a better way. Every episode features real, unfiltered conversations with people who said WTF, made their move, and built something worth having on the other side. Not the polished highlight reels. The real ones. The messy decisions. The unexpected pivots. The "I had no idea what I was doing" moments that turned into financial independence, real freedom, and a life that actually fits. Because that's the goal. Not just escaping corporate. Building something better. Financial independence. Control of your time, your health, your future. A life you designed — not one that was handed to you with a offer letter and a set of golden handcuffs. The WTF moment gets you started. What you build after is what matters. New episodes every week. Are you ready to make your move?
