Episode Details

What if everything you worked for… wasn’t what you actually wanted?

In this eye-opening episode of the Building Your Life Podcast, John Browning talks with the leader of Corporate Escapees, Brett Trainor, a high-performing corporate executive who walked away from the six-figure salary, the prestige, and the "you’ve made it" lifestyle… to actually start building a life.

Together they unpack:

• What success really means once the corporate chase ends
• How your 401(k) might be a golden trap, not a golden parachute
• The difference between being rich… and living richly
• Why many financial advisors miss the mark with real people
• How business owners can dramatically increase their exit value — and keep more of it in their pocket

This isn’t just about money — it’s about meaning.

It’s about using the tool we call money to build something that works for you.

Whether you are climbing the corporate ladder, thinking about jumping off, or already rebuilding your future brick by brick, this episode will challenge you to think differently about your goals, wealth, and freedom.

💬 “If you're not a sculptor, don’t try to chisel your financial future out of stone—work with someone who knows how.”
