Ever had one of those moments where you look up at the sky and think, “Seriously? Why me? Why now? What on earth did I do to deserve this?”We’ve all been there. In this episode, I sit down with the brilliantly honest Iain Girling, who knows that feeling all too well.Iain found himself unceremoniously fired. No fanfare, no warning, just… out. One minute he’s part of something, the next he’s standing there wondering what just happened. From that rubble, he had to decide whether to crumble or rebuild. During our chat, he shares how he went from corporate exit to carving his own path as a sole trader, and the lessons that came with it.If you’ve ever been knocked off your feet and thought, “This can’t be how it’s meant to go,” this one’s for you. Because sometimes the very thing that feels like the end is actually the beginning — it just doesn’t come gift-wrapped with a bow.Now, grab a cuppa, relax and press play. About IainBorn in Essex in 1948, Iain is a Baby Boomer who grew up with all the parental love an only child could want, but none of the grandparent stories, as all of his had all passed away before his sixth birthday.Entrepreneurship coursed through his veins as both his grandfathers were successful entrepreneurs, and he’d eventually follow that path himself.He is the husband of Ann. A former solopreneur who thrived for 25 years after micro-managers showed him the door. A keen traveller. He is also a firm believer that any proper walk should end at a pub serving craft brewery beer.His memoir, Speaking My Mind: My Life as a Baby Boomer, chronicles 63 years of real life, proving that even someone who hated English at school can become a storyteller.He is working on his debut novel, weaving together decades of life events into the story, characters and places in the book.Subscribe to be the first to know about his upcoming novel and future projects.
