Back to Episodes34. From Layoff to Entrepreneur: Six Week Sprint to Find Her Ikigai
Description
Elizabeth Field DiGiovanni was only a few hours into her layoff from Meta when she had already established the LLC for Parcel Air, her entrepreneurial venture providing screen-free activity boxes for flying with little kids - individually wrapped and shipped straight to your door!
Rather than jump into a job search, she decided to take advantage of the time and money her severance offered, and run a 6-week sprint to see what was possible with a strong vision, an AI back-end, strategic freelance hires from within her inner circle plus Claude as her Chief of Staff.
When we spoke she was 60 days into the business, already breaking even, and finding an entirely new level of work-life integration as she discovered her ikigai (the intersection of what she loves to do, what she's good at, what the world needs, and what she can get paid for).
Watch her build the company publicly by subscribing to From the Desk of EFD on Substack. You can also connect with her on LinkedIn or Instagram.
If you're curious to discover your own ikigai, stay tuned for my Find Your Next workshop this fall. Join the waitlist to be the first to be notified!
