Today's guest is Ashlee Stoeppler, founder of Ashlee Stoeppler Media and Ear-Resistible Rabbits. After years in corporate recruiting, Ashlee decided to leverage her skills and start her own business. She quit her job and, in a fun plot twist, turned the boss (who had denied her a raise) into her very first client. Today, Ashlee runs a thriving media company while building Ear-Resistible Rabbits, where she is quickly becoming the Queen of Rabbits on social media. She now lives her dream life with full control of her time, raising her kids on a farm exactly as she sees fit. Ashlee's story is a bold reminder that sometimes the best opportunities come from taking a leap of faith and that betting on yourself can lead to MORE freedom, fulfillment, and unexpected success than any corporate job ever could.

In this episode we sit down with Brett Pike, founder of Classical Learner and creator of the popular Homeschools Connected curriculum. Brett left a stable corporate job after writing a successful series of children’s books (the Cubs to Bears series) to bet on himself and build a homeschool company that actually prepares kids for real life.

Classical Learner specializes in teaching practical skills that help children level up: entrepreneurship, financial literacy, critical thinking, the scientific method, and much more, all from a young age.

We dive into why traditional education is falling short, how parents can raise independent thinkers and future entrepreneurs, the power of taking a leap of faith on your dreams, and how Brett leveraged social media to grow his brand and impact hundreds of thousands of families.

If you are a homeschooling parent, entrepreneur, or someone who wants to give kids a true education worthy of freedom, this conversation is packed with inspiration and actionable ideas.

Today we’re talking with Paul Henning: husband, father, author, podcaster, business owner, and a true entrepreneurial success story. When he got laid off from his job, he didn’t let fear take over. Instead, he saw it as the perfect chance to start his own business. With just a chainsaw and a trailer, he began offering tree and brush services, and soon he was making more in four hours than he used to earn in a full week at his old job. Things have only gotten better since then. Join us for this motivating conversation about seizing opportunity, building a business from scratch, and creating the life you want.

Welcome to the premiere episode of I Fired Myself, the podcast dedicated to documenting real entrepreneurs' journeys from the soul-crushing 9-to-5 grind into the freedom and fulfillment of building their own businesses.

In this inaugural episode, I discuss the spark that inspired the show, I open up about my personal transition from employee to entrepreneur, and dive into the crucial mindset shifts that make leaving corporate life possible (and sustainable).

Whether you're dreaming of quitting your job, already plotting your escape, or simply curious about what it really takes to become your own boss, this episode sets the foundation.

Expect raw stories, practical insights, and a heavy focus on the entrepreneurial mindset that separates those who stay stuck from those who thrive.
