About this episode

How Can I help you? In this episode of the Legend Effect Podcast, host Howie Chan interviews Matt Doan, who successfully designed and executed his escape from corporate life and now helps others also make their transition on their own terms. They delve into  what most people get wrong about quitting, why passive income won't save you, and how to mentally graduate from the corporate world before you actually leave.
