Some quits are huge: like leaving your job and the country all at once for a job opportunity halfway around the world. Other quits are small, like quitting a book you're not enjoying.
This episode's guest Lee Constantine, co-founder of the book crowdfunding platform Publishizer, has done all of the above.
From deciding the 9 to 5 life in Vegas wasn't working for him, to choosing to no longer finish books that aren't bringing him joy, Lee has made many a strategic quit, and he shares how being fearless in the face of major transitions has served him well.

The prospect of quitting something often leads to a lot of fears, many of which focus on what others will think. The key is realizing that those "others" don't have to live with your decisions, you do.
Today's guest Brittany van Schravendijk came to that realization at a young age, as she evaluated whether to leave the field of engineering to work as an athletic trainer. That decision led her to not only become a world champion in kettlebell sport, but also to a career she absolutely loves.
This episode is great for anyone who fears they're choosing a career that society may deem less-prestigious than their previous one, as Brittany tells the story of having that fear, and how society actually viewed her decision in a much more favorable light than her fears would let her believe.
