Getting laid off doesn't have to be the end of the story — sometimes it's the opening scene.

In this episode of RTDB, I sit down with Alison Kinsey, host of the Real Time Creator podcast. After being laid off last year, Alison didn't scramble for the next "safe" job — she leaned into creative work and said yes to whatever came her way.

She already had the skills: Alison runs a podcast editing business with her husband, and that behind-the-scenes experience became the launchpad for her own show.

We talk about:

  • What it actually felt like to get laid off — and the mindset shift after
  • Why she chose to build something of her own instead of job-hunting
  • How her editing business gave her an unfair advantage in podcasting
  • What "leaning into whatever comes" has looked like in practice
  • Advice for creators thinking about launching their own show
