01 ABOUT THE SHOW
Laid off on a Tuesday.
Eight figures by Friday.
(The Fridays just took a few years.)
Laid Off To 8 Figures is the unfiltered chronicle of getting handed a cardboard box and turning it into a company. No theatrics, no highlight reel — just the decisions, the dead ends, and the numbers behind building something real from zero.
Each episode breaks down a single inflection point: the layoff, the first dollar, the first hire, the first time it all nearly fell apart. If you're in the messy middle of building, this is the show that tells you the truth.
