The Matt King Show E223: How and When to Quit Your Job with Pat Hiban and Tim Rhode
Everyone wants to quit at some point in their life. We're all quitters, in the sense that if we can’t take something anymore, then we’re going to do the next thing. The question is – when and how do you quit?
In today’s discussion, Pat Hiban and Tim Rhode, GoBundance co-founders and co-authors of the book, The Quitter’s Manifesto, talk about how and when to quit your job. They share their own experiences of quitting and what it has been like being on the other side.

“We're all quitters. If you look at it, we're all the type of people who say, if I'm mad as hell, and I'm not going to take it anymore, then I'm going to do the next thing."
"It's so important that you come at this from your own perspective and just have your own way of going in."
"I want to challenge you to get out of your head… not over complicating and just being happy.”
"The truth is that quitting is scary… you should be scared shitless and it is a fear that needs to be overcome. That's going to actually help you succeed on the other end of quitting."
