Hey everyone,
Today’s episode is a catch-up with an old friend - and one of the most open/honest conversations we’ve had in a while.
This one is about what happens after you walk away from the obvious path - the salary, the equity, the sense of security everyone tells you not to give up.
Flo did exactly that.
He walked away from a well-paid role with equity, not because things failed, but because something more fundamental broke: trust and integrity. It was a brutal decision in the moment - and, looking back, the right one.
We talk about:
Why “playing it safe” often carries hidden risks
Why most people quit before compounding ever has a chance to work
Why universities and companies are struggling to keep up with the pace of change
What it really means to survive long enough to benefit from upside
And why integrity is non-negotiable when you’re trying to build something long-term
This episode isn’t about tactics or hot takes.
It’s about judgment, patience, and choosing the harder path when the easy one quietly limits your future.
If you’ve ever felt that staying put was costing you something you couldn’t quite name - this conversation will resonate.
As always, thanks for listening - and for thinking independently alongside us.
