Employee to Entrepreneur with Chris Edwards: Consultant to Chief Flooring Flipper

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

mardi 18 mars 2025 • Durée 01:08:10

In this episode, we dive into Chris Edwards' bold leap from the corporate consulting world to entrepreneurship through acquisition. Chris was climbing the corporate ladder, but as he looked ahead, he didn’t see the person he wanted to become. The cushy paycheck wasn’t enough—he wanted something more.

Instead of staying on the path he no longer believed in, Chris took a leap. Within just three months of starting his search, he acquired a business, packed up, and moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado. He navigated the highs and lows of running a company as the sole owner using SBA debt. But over time, he improved every key metric, growing and optimizing the business.

Three years later, Chris exited, successfully selling the company and proving that the risk was worth it.

🔹 Climbing the corporate ladder doesn’t guarantee fulfillment.
🔹 If you don’t see a future you want, it’s time to create your own.
🔹 Buying a business can be a faster path to entrepreneurship than starting from scratch.
🔹 The ups and downs of ownership teach lessons no job ever could.
🔹 Taking the leap can lead to both financial success and personal freedom.

Chris’ story is proof that you don’t have to spend your life in a career that doesn’t inspire you. If you’ve ever wondered whether you could own a business instead of working for one, this episode is for you.

Employee to Entrepreneur with Tim Perreira: Regional Sales Manager to Solopreneur Walking Across America

Saison 1 · Épisode 5

mardi 11 mars 2025 • Durée 02:00:38

In this episode, we dive into Tim Perreira’s incredible journey from climbing the ranks in tech sales to finding his true purpose outside of corporate America. Tim started his career in sports sales before transitioning into tech, where he quickly became a top performer—earning President’s Club and even becoming the #1 seller globally. But behind the success, he was silently struggling with depression and burnout.

After hitting 83% of his quota, he was placed on a performance plan and eventually laid off. Instead of returning to tech, Tim took a different path—starting a clothing company from the ground up, sourcing high-quality suppliers internationally and building an amazing product. As he documented his journey on LinkedIn, something unexpected happened: his candid posts about mental health resonated deeply, sparking conversations with countless high-performing men facing similar struggles.

🔹 Crushing quotas doesn’t always lead to fulfillment.
🔹 Being laid off can be the push you need to build something of your own.
🔹 Sharing your struggles can create unexpected opportunities.
🔹 Community and purpose matter more than titles and commissions.
🔹 True success is about finding fulfillment, not just financial wins.

Now, Tim is a coach and community leader helping high-achieving men realign their careers and lives. This year, he’s taking on his biggest challenge yet—walking across America to raise awareness for men’s mental health. If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing success that doesn’t feel like success, Tim’s story is a must-listen.
