Why I Left

We don’t talk about resignations enough.

What began during the Great Resignation has evolved into a platform for honest conversations about bold career moves at any stage. Why I Left chronicles real stories from real people about the decisions that changed everything, and the lessons they learned along the way.

Join host Brian Aquart as he explores the human side of work through stories of resilience, reinvention, and the pursuit of purpose.
