They Quit Their Corporate Jobs to Build the Viral Hot Girl Pickles - With Leah Marcus and Yasaman Bakhtiar

Épisode 20

mardi 16 décembre 2025 • Durée 59:55

With Leah Marcus and Yasaman Bakhtiar, founders of Good Girl Snacks

This is a masterclass in how to start a business and build momentum fast.

In this episode of Good Shift, I’m joined by Leah Marcus and Yasaman Bakhtiar, best friends and co-founders of Good Girl Snacks, the brand behind the viral Hot Girl Pickles.

Just a few years ago, they were working corporate jobs with zero business experience. Just 3 years later, their pickles have built a cult following online and landed on shelves at Whole Foods, Erewhon, Bristol Farms, GoPuff, and Nordstrom.

In this conversation, Leah and Yasaman share the real story behind the leap: from spotting a TikTok trend, to building in public, to trusting their gut before they felt ready and they share how you can do the same.

Ep 11: Quitting Your Startup Job at 29 to Become a Pro Soccer Player (Here's What Happened)

Épisode 11

mardi 1 juillet 2025 • Durée 57:52

Meet Sarah Cox, a Stanford graduate who walked away from a high-growth startup career in her late 20s to return to something she thought she’d left behind for good: professional soccer. After nearly a decade off the pitch, Sarah made the wild, bold move to re-enter elite sport — and she’s now a pro goalkeeper for Lexington SC in Kentucky.

This conversation is packed with everything you really want to know when you’re standing on the edge of change:

Is it too late?
What if people laugh when I say my dream out loud?
How do I give up a successful career to chase a dream?
What if I fail?

We unpack how Sarah rebuilt belief, the structure she created to make it real, and what it feels like to play 100% for yourself.

Whether you’re feeling career burn-out, an identity wobble, or just that gnawing itch that there’s more — this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in and remember: it’s not too late, you’re not too far, and there’s no rulebook on when your next chapter begins.

Ep 9: Leaving A Successful Corporate Career To Chase A Dream Job – With Chris Harrison

Épisode 9

mardi 3 juin 2025 • Durée 52:35

What if the job you’re in isn’t bad — but it’s not you?

In today’s episode of Good Shift, I’m sitting down with someone who made a shift that so many of us secretly think about but struggle to act on. Chris Harrison spent 15 years climbing the corporate ladder in banking. The money was good. The job was fine. But it never stopped gnawing at him — the childhood dream of becoming a police officer.

So, how do you leave a secure, respected career to chase a calling that’s risky, unfamiliar, paid a lot less and starts at the bottom? That’s what we unpack in this raw, honest, and deeply motivating conversation.

🎧 In this episode, we dive into:

The quiet discomfort of a career that looks good on paper but feels wrong in your gut.
How Chris knew it was time to stop waiting and finally take the leap.
The fears around pay cuts, identity loss, and starting over — and how he worked through them.
The unexpected emotional and practical challenges of joining the police force.
The mindset shifts that helped Chris rebuild his life around purpose instead of just a paycheck.

Whether you’re in a job that’s “fine” or stuck at the crossroads of a potential career pivot, this episode will make you reflect, reevaluate, and hopefully take action toward a more aligned life.

Ever thought about walking away from a high-paying corporate career to pursue something wildly different - without knowing how it would all work out?

In this episode of Good Shift, I sit down with Adam Rowland, former Head of Planning at global brands like Ralph Lauren, ASICS, and Icebreaker, who swapped spreadsheets and a high-paying corporate role, for self-made, stop-motion animation.

✅ Why upskilling on the side was the real secret to being able to pivot
✅ How to up your game at networking and build confidence around it
✅ Advice on planning ahead for a shift (incl financials)
✅ Why backing yourself doesn’t mean you can’t build a safety net
