At 21, the speaker quit their corporate job after three weeks of building courage. Their boss actually encouraged it, saying they'd seemed checked out anyway. They went on to start a fitness coaching business and YouTube channel around nutrition.
About 8 years ago, I was in a job that I hated so much. What were you doing? I would wake up every day. I don't wanna name the company. Yeah, that's fine. 'Cause I quit. So it was actually something to do with nutrition. I was like 21 or 22 at the time. I was like, this can't be it. And then so one day, it took me 3 weeks to build up the courage, but one day I walk into my boss's office and I go, look, I want to go full-time in the fitness industry. I want to start my own coaching company, personal training business. I wanna be on YouTube. I wanna be talking about all these topics that I wanna be talking about. And he was like, awesome, go for it. He was like, "You're obviously shy at work. You're doing nothing here."
