The Exit Blueprint: Dismantling the Life I Built
A 20-year corporate career, unpacked.
For 20 years I built a corporate life that looks stable on paper: seniority, competence, predictable outcomes. It also produced a quiet trade I can no longer justify: autonomy in exchange for continuity.
This isn’t a collapse. It’s a renovation—dismantling the structure deliberately until the numbers and the options are real.
This publication documents the process and ships the tools to make it measurable.
What this is
This is not a manifesto and it’s not a countdown. It’s a deliberate transition.
I’m dismantling the infrastructure of my current life—possessions, routines, commitments, and obligations—to make room for what comes next. The direction is long-term, location-independent travel, but the real focus is the part people usually skip: the decisions and trade-offs before the departure.
“Elsewhere” is not just a place on a map. It’s a state of autonomy—a life designed by choice, not default settings.
What I’m documenting here
I’m treating this like a serious project: clear assumptions, honest numbers, and real constraints.
You’ll see three threads repeated over time:
The Math (Exit Audit): Estimating runway—how many months of freedom I can buy by reducing burn rate and converting “stuff” into cash.
The Liquidation: What I sell, what I keep, what I learn (and what I was wrong about) while dismantling a life built around status and convenience.
The Identity Shift: What changes when you stop optimizing for predictability and start designing a life that fits.
I write pseudonymously to keep the focus on the insights rather than the individuals. It lets me be candid about misalignment and trade-offs while protecting relationships I still value.
What you’ll get here
This is for professionals who can do the math, see the comfort, and still feel the quiet cost of staying. The ones with a “one day” plan that never becomes a date—because you don’t want hype, you want clarity. You get:
Diagnosis frameworks to identify what’s actually broken (job vs. environment vs. structure).
Constraint decoding to see the real blockers—time, money, energy, obligations—and what moves them.
Runway math in months, not vibes.
Reversible steps: low-risk actions that create leverage without burning the bridge.
A slow-build rollout of the Corporate Exit Audit & Freedom Calculator (tease → demo → release).
What you won’t get
Hustle sermons.
Motivational noise.
Employer callouts or corporate gossip.
