<p>One year ago, I published Braving Big Tech — a five-part audio docu-series about getting hired and fired by Apple, Google, Tumblr, and Airbnb. It took 14 months, nearly 100 pages of writing, and 15 interviews with the people who were there — including managers that hired me, and one who fired me. </p><p>Today, on the one-year anniversary, I’m answering the most common questions people ask me, like:</p><ul><li>Did you deserve to get fired?</li><li>What did numbing actually look like? </li><li>What hasn’t healed yet?</li><li>What do you say to someone whose job is killing them slowly?</li></ul><p>This episode is honest, real and intended to help you get clear on how you’re braving big tech right now. Because let’s be real: we’re all trying to figure out how to navigate these times with a calm head and courageous heart.</p><p><br></p><p>Listen and learn more about Braving Big Tech:</p><p><a href="https://bravingbigtech.com/">https://bravingbigtech.com/</a></p><p><br></p><p>Listen on <a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/part-1-apple-armoring-up/id1678195277?i=1000699343972⁠ " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Apple</a></p><p>Listen on <a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/5T74wnwxoqvYZbk1a1bx1p⁠" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Spotify</a> </p><p>Listen on <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_PI5GYSCno8&list=PLBUgytRDHT8HXQyzJiOZeAT6G1Pr9bRhw⁠ " target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p>CONNECT:</p><p>Follow Julio on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/letsgowithjulio/">⁠Instagram⁠</a> and <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/letsgowithjulio/">⁠LinkedIn⁠</a></p><p>Book Julio to speak, coach, or consult at <a href="https://www.letsgowithjulio.com/">⁠letsgowithjulio.com</a></p><p><br></p><p>CREDITS:</p><p>Theme song: &quot;You Are The One&quot; by <a href="https://www.nick-deutsch.com/">⁠Nick Deutsch⁠</a></p><p>Produced + edited: <a href="https://www.rikkigunton.com/">⁠Rikki Gunton⁠</a></p>
