I’m leaving Brazen Careerist


This is only a snippet of a full post about stepping down from my position at my company. You can read the whole thing over at Brazen Careerist. It’s been a hell of a ride you guys!

At the end of this month, I’m stepping down as Community Manager for Brazen Careerist. As a founder and a stockholder I’ll always be involved in the company, but career-wise I’m moving on.

I spent most my life establishing relationships with people who made me feel safe. In high school I spiked up my hair and wore nothing but tee-shirts from punk-rock bands you have never heard of. At the time I thought I was making a statement, but really I was just making it easier to know who my friends were.

In college, I joined a fraternity with Ryan Healy, my freshmen-year roommate at the time. I hung out with the same people for all four years—again, it was all about feeling safe. Some of them remain my closest friends. Others I will never talk to again because we were never really friends to begin with.

When we moved to Madison and teamed up with Penelope, everything changed. More >>

    Lots of luck Ryan. I look forward to seeing what you do next! And thanks for making me feel like an important part of the BC community.

    Hi Ryan, sorry to post this on your blog but I can find no contact info for help at BC. I've left my job and consequently my old email address which was the one I used for BC. I need to delete my BC account now that I have my new job. Do you have an email to a help desk or a phone number for BC? Thanks, I can find nothing, can't get into the site, etc.

    I don't need to say good luck to you because you are already a great power of example. Thanks. xenaattorney@yahoo.com

    I’m curious as to what punk bands you think people have “never heard of”…
