Corporate Quit on Her — She Built a Business Faster Than She Could Job Hunt w/ Clair Sullivan
View Transcript
Episode Description
What happens when corporate stress gets so bad you literally can’t swallow solid food?
That’s where Claire Sullivan found herself.
On December 1st, 2023, corporate quit on her — and she took what most people would call the riskiest step possible:
She built a business… the same day.
- Filed an LLC
- Registered everything needed to operate
- Posted on LinkedIn that she was going out on her own
- Listened to what the market actually wanted
- And replaced her former salary by the end of the week
Is that typical? No.
Is it possible? Absolutely.
And more importantly — the steps she took are repeatable for anyone stuck in a corporate job that no longer works for them.
This is one of the most real and honest conversations we’ve had on what it actually looks like to escape corporate — emotionally, financially, mentally, and practically.
Who This Episode Is For
This one is for you if:
- Corporate has stopped making sense
- Every job application feels like it goes into a black hole
- You’re burned out but can’t “just quit”
- You want control over your time, income, and health
- You don’t think you have “enough” experience to go out on your own
- You just need one real example of someone who actually did it
