E57: You're Fired! What To Do When Or If It Happens W/ Dave & Ryan

Many people are hurting out there, losing their jobs, losing their pay, and even losing everything. I wanted to share my story of getting fired to give some hope, tips, and stories that might help some people feel better when or if it happens to know what to expect.

We usually don’t plan to get fired, and if your anything like me it’s never happened before and I was honestly surprised I was ever in a situation where it could happen but it did. I’m happy and proud that it happened so much so that I framed the termination letter and have it on the wall behind my mixing desk to remind me everyday. Here’s the story and what I learned from the experience.

Remember:

Nothing is permanent or guaranteed
Everyone can and will lose sometimes
No one is owed anything
Everything happens for a reason.

In This Episode We Cover

Unrealistic expectations
Unexpected pay decreases
Surviving toxic work places
What it’s like to get fired
Mindset
Plans change
Reacting
Relief vs the situation
Stages of anxiety and expectations
Routine
Unemployable
