The Corporate Escapee Podcast is a resource for GenX professionals ready to break free from the constraints of corporate life and design a more intentional, fulfilling lifestyle. Hosted by Brett Trainor- who’s been on the escapee journey for nearly five years—and who’s been helping others make the leap for just over a year—this podcast goes beyond just replacing replacement to focus on a life built around four core pillars: Happiness, Wellness, Freedom, and Financial Stability. Every episode features real stories, practical advice, and actionable insights from successful escapees, subject matter experts, and thought leaders. We dive into the realities of building financial stability outside corporate, creating a sustainable work-life balance, and rediscovering personal joy and wellness along the way. Our Mission: To empower 100,000 GenXers to escape corporate, reclaim their lives, and build an intentional life that reflects what truly matters. We believe that finding your first customer is easier than finding your next job—and that you don’t have to do it alone. Community, connection, and a fresh approach to work-life design are key. Key Themes: * Income Replacement Strategies: Practical paths to replacing corporate income with work that aligns with your lifestyle goals * Freedom and Autonomy: Stories of crafting a life on your own terms, from solo consulting to fractional leadership * Wellness and Happiness: Insights on prioritizing physical and mental well-being, and making time for the things that truly matter * Financial Stability: Building a reliable income stream without corporate constraints Whether you’re exploring the escapee path, in the process of making the leap, or simply want more freedom and fulfillment, The Corporate Escapee Podcast offers the insights and support you need.
