Ep 85: I miss the ease of corporate
Let's face it, having a traditional job is easier. You just need to show up, do your job and go home. I miss that feeling. I've been feeling like I can't keep my head above water for the last few months drowning under the weight of having to do it all. When I was asked last week about whether or not I miss corporate, naturally my honest answer is at least once a week.
