Milind Kanvinde spent two decades inside corporate — project leader, project manager, programme management — before walking out in 2017 to build his own thing.
This episode isn't about the decision to leave. It's about the two years on either side of it.
Milind breaks down why running your idea "on the side" almost guarantees it stays on the side. The one hobby that quietly kept him afloat for a full year after he resigned. Why he stopped treating other people in his field as competition and what he did instead. And the single thing he'd tell every corporate professional to start doing five years before they plan to quit — the thing he didn't do, and paid for.
He's also a self-described introvert who had to build a network from absolute zero after twenty years of never needing one. He's honest about how uncomfortable that was and how long it actually took.
