Shedding the Corporate Skin
By Ian Richards
Shedding the Corporate Skin is the podcast that helps you unleash your dreams, move away from the corporate world and release the real you to grow your own business.
Brought to you by Ali Ford and Ian Richards, Shedding the Corporate Skin offers insights, best practices and real-life stories that give you the support you need to help you navigate the journey from the straitjacket of the corporate world to creating the life you’ve always dreamed of.
If you’re thinking there must be something better on the other side of the nine to five, Ali and Ian are here to show you what’s possible and how to create it.
“We know what it’s like to sit there day after day thinking there must be something better on the other side of the nine to five. We were either brave or stupid enough (or both) to actually find out, and we’re here to show you what’s possible and how to create it. The truth is, we both love hearing different perspectives and learning from other people’s stories, so we thought ‘why not?!’. Let’s share our own experiences, the hard-won battles, the challenges and triumphs that have taught us what we needed to know along the way, and give all the details we can about the good, the bad and the ugly behind growing your own business after being in a salaried position.”
Shedding the Corporate Skin is a podcast for people who are:
- Considering making the leap out of the corporate world, or are in their first year of business, or
- Straddling a salaried job and a side hustle they’d love to make their living from, and
- Want to believe more is possible
Shedding the Corporate Skin peels back the layers of what it’s useful to think about, to know, to consider and to frankly ignore, when it comes to leaving the corporate world. Ali and Ian share their own stories (which are quite different!), discuss the mindset changes that take place, reveal the myths and legends around the trade-offs they were told had to happen, and offer a fresh perspective on this scariest of journeys for many.
Leaving the safety net of the corporate world can feel like a huge leap. This podcast will help anyone who has recently taken the plunge or is preparing to dive off the cliff.
