It’s a question that so many of us are grappling with. Should I quit corporate life and pursue my passion project? Today in this episode from our colleagues at New Here—HBR's podcast for young professionals—we’ll help you think through the possibilities and trade-offs, as we learn from one woman’s experiences leaving corporate life to build her own business. You’ll learn which of her fears were warranted, how she battled loneliness, managed her money, and whether or not she is actually happier working for herself.

And I are here with the host of HBR's new podcast, New Here.
She's Eleni Mata.
Hello.
Hi.
How are you guys?
Hey Elainey.
So tell our listeners about New Here.
What have you covered this first season?
So New Here is an early career podcast.
We help anyone tackling something for the first time at their job, whether they're going into their first full time job after graduating or starting a new job after a break.
Tell me Aleni, cause you and I talked months ago about what it was gonna be like to host a podcast.
How has it been different than what you expected?
So I've said this before to the both of you.
I'm an actor, like stage trained actor.
So here I had to adapt it to a more conversational piece instead of this like dramatic, loud trying to reach everyone in the room.
That was hard.
Do not project into the mic.
