Episode 01: QUITTING YOUR JOB TO START A BUSINESS — Media Appearances

Apr 1, 2026

Episode overview

Before handing in a resignation, what evidence would show that a business is ready for more of your time? Tonisha Tagoe explores that question on the AM Club, moving from small experiments and client demands to business models, sustainable working habits and a considered exit from employment.

What the recording covers

  • Test the work itself: a small project can reveal pricing, confidence and late-payment challenges that a business idea alone does not show.
  • Consider whether demand is sustained and whether you can use the additional working time effectively; one promising conversation is not established revenue.
  • Identify key partners, daily activities and resources so the business has a practical operating model.
  • Explore the interview’s discussion of respectful resignation, differing founder priorities and advisers as one possible way to collaborate.

Recording context

This archived AM Club interview substantially overlaps “The AM Club lifestyle daily show”, also available in the library.
