Career coach Angela Bennett welcomes back recruiting executive and author Chris Fontanella (Tune Up Your Career) for a candid conversation about entrepreneurship, risk, who it’s for, and the mindset required. Drawing from Chris’s journey launching his own successful staffing business, this episode explores the mindset shifts that often happen before someone decides to “cut the cord” from corporate life.
Angela and Chris unpack the subtle signs that entrepreneurship may already be calling you: feeling disconnected from company culture, craving more freedom to execute your vision, or realizing your individuality no longer fits neatly inside the corporate framework. They discuss the emotional realities behind taking the leap, from fear of failure and financial uncertainty to identity shifts, resilience, and learning how to tolerate risk.
Not only for solo founders, entrepreneurial spirit can exist inside corporations, in startups, through partnerships or independent ventures.
Is corporate culture starting to feel restrictive? | How much risk can you tolerate? | Can you push through failure and uncertainty? | Entrepreneurship is a mindset | Tune up your career before stagnation sets in.
