She had the title, the salary, the VIP track at a Fortune 100 company. She walked away from all of it. Not because it was bad. Because "good enough" stopped being enough.
In this episode, I sit down with Briana Mascaro, founder of Sophos HR Consulting and High Performance Coaching, to walk through her real journey from corporate executive to full-time entrepreneur. Briana is a Cornell-educated attorney turned HR leader who built her coaching business while still traveling one week a month for her corporate role. She left her job in early 2026 and has zero regrets.
What we cover:
The eulogy moment that changed everything
How she split her paycheck 50/50 to build her financial exit runway
Why leaving a good job is actually harder than leaving a bad one
The business ecosystem she built step by step inside the BDC
What she wishes she'd done five years sooner with her money
Her advice for anyone on the verge of making the leap
If you're sitting in a "good" job that no longer fits who you're becoming, this one's for you.
