Ever wondered how people actually know when it’s time to quit, pivot, or back themselves in a huge career move? Well Michelle Battersby's career was made on those moves. She ditched her safe banking job to launch unkown dating app Bumble in Australia, co-founded her own tech company Sunroom (and sold it while pregnant), and even walked away from an “end-of-career” salary because her gut told her no. This episode is her playbook on doing the scary thing and landing on your feet... plus the inside scoop on Fanfix snapping up Sunroom and what she’s plotting next.

💻 The career reframe that makes failure impossible
💻 The tiny work habits that make you look like an all-star employee
💻 How women can make serious money in tech without being a “tech bro”
