In our quickly shifting tech landscape, we're bringing something refreshingly real. Each season will tackle a focused theme, weaving together expert insights every other episode with authentic individual layoff stories from companies across the industry. More than just conversation, every episode delivers actionable strategies and fresh perspectives to help you navigate your next chapter.

Join us as tech leaders and innovators share how they've transformed career setbacks into powerful comebacks, offering you a blueprint for your own path forward.

Season 1 Theme: Mental Health and Wellness.

We chose mental health and wellness to kick off our series given how critical it is to not just surviving the layoff experience, but in providing the tools needed to sustain us through the uncertainty of post-layoff life. We’ll provide these layoff insights from mental health experts with every other episode. In Season 1, we delve into the foundations of mental wellness and personal resilience, featuring conversations with licensed professionals who share practical insights and evidence-based strategies for navigating the layoff challenge with greater strength and clarity. Details will be provided in each episode shownotes.
