The Corporate Escapee: Get Busy Living with Brett Trainor

The mission: help 1 million GenXers escape corporate control and build life-first futures.

Corporate trained us to build our lives around a job description. Most of us didn't notice until something cracked. A layoff. A burnout. A quiet morning where we realized we'd traded a life for a paycheck.

This show is for GenXers who are done letting corporate run the whole show. Some of you are still in, stirring. Some just got walked out. Some are a year past the WTF moment and figuring out what comes next. The work is the same. Take back control of the six things that actually matter. Financial. Friends and family. Fitness. Fulfillment. Fun. Focus.

A Life-First Future isn't a side hustle. It's not a survival plan. It's a life you actually designed.

Each week, host Brett Trainor talks with escapees, solopreneurs, and experts who've built one. No theory. No gurus. Real stories from people who left corporate behind and figured out what came next, plus solo episodes on what's working now.

In a world racing toward digital and AI, we believe real human connection still matters most. That's why this show exists. Conversations you can't find on a feed, with people who get it.

Get Busy Living.
