    I can’t tell you how much I respect your transparency, honesty, and perseverance. I’ve watched a bunch of your cold calling videos and had not seen a video in awhile. Someone with your work ethic, willingness to take on new challenges and seek out opportunities… I hope you are still making content in ten years… it will be so awesome to see what you have achieved by then… I think remarkable success is imminent, simply based on your drive and commitment, it will be amazing to see how - not if - that success manifests and in what industry and role!

    It's positive that you want to re-enter the corporate world. Be prepared to handle a lot of rejection and navigate a challenging job market. It wouldn't be unexpected if it takes months before you secure your next role. Plus make sure the fit, OTE, and mission make sense to you.

    Trent, you'll do great, lots of good companies want someone that will do the work and very few people are willing to do 10K calls year after year.
    However, and I'm sure you've thought about this. Are you being too transparent and forthcoming on this channel? Your previous employer either decided you were or used that as an excuse to fire you. There's a thousand videos of content and that can make a potential employer nervous about what you might say. On this video you offered to share the names of the 21 companies you're approaching in a newsletter.
    There can be value in keeping your own counsel.
