I Quit YouTube, Went Back to Corporate, and Got Laid Off 10 Months Later

Sometimes you need to fail at the “safe” choice to realize it was never safe at all.

This is the story of quitting YouTube, going back to corporate, getting laid off 10 months later, and what I learned about building a life on my own terms.

Three things corporate taught me in 10 months: how to systematize everything, how companies waste 80% of their content budget, and how to manage multiple stakeholders. Then I got laid off.

This is what I took from that experience and how it became the foundation for building my content agency.

I’m uploading every week – sharing the messy reality of building a business, lessons from 10 years as a creator, and what I’m learning as I figure this out in real time.
