At 24, Tommy Cotter walked off a Big Three factory floor, took a massive pay cut, and bet on himself, building the invisible systems behind the financial news millions of us read every day.
In this episode of Fulfillment Project, Tommy (Head of Product at Benzinga) and I get into the courage to walk away from a "safe" career, where to find meaning in work no one ever sees, and the one skill AI can't replace: knowing what's actually worth building.
If you've ever felt stuck in something stable but unsettled, this one's for you.
