Escape from Cubicle Nation Podcast
Advice, support and encouragement to stop being a corporate prisoner and start your own business
I think it was fate that Michael Port released his new book The Think Big Manifesto within a few days of the release of mine.

Becoming comfortable with thinking big and gathering the courage to leave a "safe" life in a cube behind walk hand in hand.

So I interviewed Michael about his book in this 20-minute conversation, where we talk about:
  1. Why you need to unhook from the "gurus"
  2. How your kids can push you to do your best work
  3. Why it is important to think big about what you do and how you operate in the world
  4. The benefits of collaboration vs. competition
  5. Our shared passion for martial arts, and the connection with thinking big

    Thank You for posting this interview! I too made a life altering decision to leave the "big job" in the corporate world. It was definitely false sense of control. I love my new life and have been self employed as a leadership consultant for the past 10 months. Over the past week I have had two unsolicited job offers and I am struggling with the thought of going back to working for someone else in a "structured" position. Your podcast and the concept of the "Think Big Fundamentals" were spot on and are helping me articulate why this decision is a struggle.

    Thanks to your podcast. I now see this as an opportunity to totally surrender and collaborate vs. a "yes I will work for you or no I am not interested decision".

    I have lived the principles you discussed and know them to be true. I wasn't able to put them to words until I heard your podcast.

    Again, Thank You.

    BTW: My children are 11 and 13 years old. Everyday I learn from them, so be encouraged, your learning will continue and your kids will be a constant inspiration.


    Keep doing what your doing!
