Finding Your Direction After Exiting a Corporate Career or Business Ownership
Fri Feb 06 2026
Podcast Description: Finding Your Direction After the Exit
Are you navigating the space between what was and what’s next? Whether you’ve recently sold a business, transitioned out of a long-term corporate executive role, or are simply hearing an inner voice suggesting you’re meant for something more, the path forward isn't always found by moving faster. It’s found by slowing down.
In this episode of Pivotal, host Kevin Simcock shares a foundational roadmap for professionals who are ready to decouple their identity from their titles and reclaim their self-authority. We dive into why the most productive thing you can do for your future career is to initially do nothing at all, and how to systematically "wipe the slate clean" to make room for a legacy with genuine meaning.
Key Points of Interest
The 60-Day Decompression Rule: Why your body and mind require a minimum of two months to release the stress of "busy-ness" and break old corporate programming. The "Rearview" Evaluation: A step-by-step guide to documenting what you loved, what you tolerated, and what you refuse to carry into your next chapter. Identifying Your Non-Negotiables: How to filter your past experiences to find the five core values that will serve as your new compass. Designing the "Ideal Day" Blueprint: Moving beyond abstract goals to define the practical logistics of your life, from meeting times and travel to your revenue targets. Alignment Criteria: How to build a profile of your ideal clients and business partners based on character traits and shared conviction.
What You’ll Walk Away With
After listening to this episode, you will have a clear, actionable framework to stop reacting to outside offers and start authoring your next chapter with intention. You’ll learn how to listen to your "inner calling" and apply it to practical avenues like fractional work, advisory roles, or passion ventures. Most importantly, you will have the permission to sit in stillness, knowing that clarity comes only when you stop forcing the results.
