"I recently beat cancer. I have everything. I'm not rich, but I've got a great family. I've had a really good life, but after COVID and the existentialism of beating cancer, I felt like I was slowly disappearing. I was tired of performing. I'm guessing most people quit their jobs out of frustration, but for me, it was quitting out of hope. I'm hoping the joy isn't gone with humans. Maybe it's all just hiding under social media and phones and all that stuff."
"I've been building my own brand by speaking and writing books for over 25 years, but I took a sales job at a coaching company in 2019 because I needed some stability, income-wise. For four of those years, I was the top sales rep, and then for two and a half years, I was the director of sales. I actually liked the job, but I quit because I really just stopped feeling alive in it."
Jim Kukral resigned from a sales role to start Cleveland Floaters, a party boat business in Cleveland that aims to bring people together for screen-free connection. He built a personal brand for over 25 years through speaking and writing, then took a sales job at a coaching company in 2019 for income stability. He was the top sales rep for four years and later director of sales for two and a half years. After beating cancer and living through COVID, he felt like he was slowly disappearing and grew tired of performing. He quit out of hope that human joy remains beyond social media and phones, gave two weeks' notice, and received acceptance from his employer.
