TIETOJA TÄSTÄ PODCASTISTA 🔗
Brett Trainor Unplugged is for Gen Xers who want to get one step closer to living the life they want—on their terms.
After six years of building life beyond the default corporate playbook, thousands of conversations with Gen Xers, entrepreneurs, and experts, and features in Fortune, Fast Company, Forbes, Harvard Business Review, and Inc., Brett Trainor is still on the quest to build his ideal life—and he shares what he learns along the way.
Part personal journal, part practical guide, and part curious conversation, this is a candid, lightly produced show about stripping away the noise, rejecting unnecessary grind, and seeing more of what is possible.
Brett is a deconstructor, explorer, dot connector, and self-admitted high-functioning lazy person. Through solo episodes and unfiltered conversations with Gen Xers, founders, creators, and experts, he explores the decisions, habits, tools, tradeoffs, and ideas that can help you build a life you actually want to live.
The conversations span the areas that make life worth living: money, mind and body, purpose, connections, possibility, and fun.
There is no singular path. No hustle theater. No permission required. Just better questions, useful ideas, and real examples that help you see what is possible—and ask:
Why not me?

VIIMEISIN JAKSO 🔗
Almost every escapee story on this show starts with corporate going bad. This one doesn't.
Jim Barke spent nearly twelve years at a company he genuinely liked, with what he calls the best team he's ever worked with, and six weeks of PTO. Nobody pushed him out. He wasn't burned out. He hired a caree…

Most people stay stuck in corporate because they think there are only two options: find another job, or start a business that eats five years of your life before it pays you.
There's a lot of room between those.
This one is about how you actu…

Hans Weygoldt had everything on paper. Good money, job security, the family business, the life that looks right from the outside. And he was empty.
He spent ten years trying to leave. Every time he sat down to bui…
I've had north of a hundred authors on this show. This one stuck with me differently, and it's because of one word: Purgatory.
Geoff Curtis spent nearly thirty years building a career in healthcare communications. Title, expertise, platform, the whole thing. Then the company was acquired, his role …
Megan Collier's first appearance is still one of my most downloaded episodes, so she's back.
Quick version if you missed it. UGC is user generated content. Brands pay you to make short videos, and instead of posting them yourself, they use the footage in their own ads. No followers required. No pro…
Shelley McIntyre is back on the show, and her first appearance is still one of the most downloaded episodes I've done.
She was a grief counselor before she was a coach, which is why she talks about layoffs differently than anyone else I know. We opened on the Oracle news, because the math on it is …
Somebody commented on one of my TikToks. He'd started his own solo business a couple years back, it's working, he's happy. Then he said "but it's not for everyone."
I'd been repeating that exact line for years and never once dug into it.
So this episode is two things. Why people still say entrepren…
Wes Wheless got laid off twice inside a few years. COVID, then the tech downturn. He wasn't angry about the second one. He just didn't have the energy to go attach himself to somebody else's mission again and wait for it to get taken away.
He didn't have a plan. He took a couple months, picked up s…
