I was running a profitable tech PR agency. It looked impressive enough on LinkedIn. It paid for fancy dinners and weekend getaways. I had the clients, the connections, and a couple of shiny awards gathering dust on my bookshelf. My phone buzzed constantly.

But something was starting to unravel.

Like a loose thread on a comfortable sweater. You know you shouldn't pull on it, but you can't help yourself.

Beautifully written, thank you for sharing!

The Tech Industrial Complex burrows deep. Good for you in feeling the itch to change...

Was/is a great read. Such a hard thing to battle with when you're so engrained into the capitalistic side of a chosen vocation. All props to you Joan! ✊
