In this episode of Characters From Corporate, the mic opens for an honest conversation about fear, ambition, and the invisible barriers people put on themselves.
The episode explores what it really takes to transition into corporate life without traditional credentials, why fear keeps capable people stuck, and how access, internships, and creative pathways can open doors when titles and degrees do not. It also raises a bigger question about the changing value of college, technology, and who actually belongs in corporate spaces.
A listener from Wilmington, Delaware writes in anonymously. He is a Black man in his early thirties working on an assembly line at a manufacturing plant. No college degree, but a deep desire to be in corporate spaces. Boardrooms. Deal making. Strategy. He knows he has more to offer, but admits he has stayed where he is out of fear. Fear of not being qualified. Fear of not being chosen. Fear of pushing his way into rooms he feels were not designed for him.
