We don’t talk about resignations enough, this podcast makes sure we do.
Why I Left
Season 5 Begins: The Courage to Choose What Matters - Brian Aquart
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
After 100 episodes, one truth stands out. Leaving is rarely about quitting. It is about alignment.
In this season five launch, Brian Aquart reflects on what a hundred conversations with leaders, founders, and operators have revealed about career transitions and identity shifts. What changes when success no longer fits. What it costs to stay too long. And why discipline, not momentum, builds something that lasts.
This season is for anyone at a crossroads. For executives recalibrating their definition of success. For builders questioning the path they chose. For professionals who know something needs to change but cannot yet name it.
If you have ever wondered whether leaving means failing, this season reframes the question entirely.
Enjoy!
