The Corporate Dropout Podcast (Episode 01)

Ever feel like it’s time to move on? Lisa Gerber felt the pull – the proverbial mountains were calling her. She took a big leap and moved to a small mountain town in Idaho where she started her business and went from leading marketing at a ski resort to making the ski resort her first client.

“Timing will never be right, but you know when you can’t stay on your current path. It’s scary, but when staying on the same path isn’t a viable solution – you have no choice.”
