I Started an LLC After Getting Laid Off – Here's Why

Описание: After being laid off from Yelp on my 11 year anniversary, I made the decision to start my own LLC and launch a brand-new show — Success, Rewritten.

In this episode, I share what led to that decision, the realities of building something from scratch, and the practical steps I took to make it official — from creating an LLC and getting an EIN, to opening a business bank account and securing production support.

Entrepreneurship can feel exciting, terrifying, and deeply uncertain all at once. But with the right pace, support, and mental health foundation, taking a calculated risk can open doors you never expected.

If you’re thinking about starting a business, pivoting after a layoff, or finally betting on yourself — this episode is for you.
