Brian is our guest this episode and he transitioned his side hustle into a full-time venture 8 years ago after a company lay off. He founded Contigo Advisors to guide entrepreneurs to scale with confidence, master their finances, and build lasting wealth.

In this episode, we talk about:

Brian's experience watching his dad struggle with a home repair in the face of a layoff was motivation to focus on his finances.
We talked about the comfort and consistency corporate life can offer and how he saw so many corporate professionals stagnating and just operating in a continuous loop.
Brian talked about how the transition from employee to entrepreneur was a little smoother since he had been doing it as a side hustle for a few years prior.
He talks about how the climb was not always easy. There were times of self doubt, loneliness and sacrifices that sometimes made him question if it was worth it. However, he persevered and was resilient and is enjoying success now.

Hello Work From Home Forever fans. We are still on summer break and we will be back later in August with all new episodes in Season 2. We’ve already had some amazing conversations with Doris and Katie that we can’t wait to share with you.

In the meantime, if you are looking for more Work From Home content while we’re away, we wanted to share a recent episode from our friends at the Long-Distance Worklife podcast.

Hosts Marisa and Wayne bring a lot of energy on the podcast and the fact they know each other well and enjoy their conversations makes this a must-listen for me.

This episode addresses how to avoid relationship strain while working from home. Here are the original show notes for this episode:

For some of us, working from home means having your home to yourself. But for many, including hosts Wayne and Marisa, there are other people at home while you're working. In this episode, we talk about some of the struggles that can happen when you can't separate your home and work life, how to create boundaries between you and others in your home so you can get some work done, and ways to connect with others throughout the day so they don't feel neglected.
