   How a Recruiter Built a Business After Getting Fired | Angela Buccellato

   Angela Buccellato sits down with Corey to share how getting fired from her recruiting job turned a side hustle into The Resume Rescue… Angela spent years in defense and technical recruiting, hiring for companies like Google and Microsoft, and started writing resumes on the side because nobody was giving job seekers honest advice. On September 16, 2019, she was fired, right after buying a house. She announced her business on LinkedIn, worked out that she needed $100 a day to cover her bills, and took every side job she could while building it. Years later, after losing her grandmother and draining her savings to pay her team, she came close to going back to corporate. Today, The Resume Rescue has three employees and is rebranding as The Career Rescue, and Angela says 2026 is the year the business finally feels solid. Here’s also what was covered: → How getting fired pushed Angela into full-time entrepreneurship → Making her first hire in the middle of the pandemic → Why AI-written resumes all start to sound the same → Cutting through job market scare tactics → Growing the That’s Business podcast to nearly 200 episodes Chapters 0:00 Intro 2:37 From recruiter to resume writer 5:24 Getting fired on September 16 7:47 Needing $100 a day 16:41 Hiring her first employee 18:08 Almost quitting in December 24:02 Why AI resumes all sound the same 28:33 The three-year vision 36:28 Scare tactics and evolving jobs 38:16 False beliefs about owning a business 43:46 Starting That’s Business 49:24 Getting out of your own head on stage ~~~ This episode is powered by Drive Creative: 🌐 https://drivecreativeagency.com/ (https://drivecreativeagency.com/) Subscribe for more conversations with entrepreneurs and innovators who push Beyond The Hustle Do you have a story to tell?

   How I Got Better At Saying No | Hollie Clement

   Do you trust the people leading you, or do you say yes to everything because you're afraid of what happens if you don't? Learn how Hollie Clement, a Drive Creative project manager, went from doubting every leader she worked for to holding her ground with clients and keeping them happy. Hollie Clement is a Marketing Project Manager at Drive Creative Agency, where she has run production, scope, and timelines for client work since 2022. She started playing soccer at five in France, was scouted at 13, moved to London alone at 16 to play for Chelsea, and earned a full ride to Oakland University. Today she manages agency projects, coaches youth soccer, and raises her one and a half year old daughter. In this episode, she explains: 🡒 The Yes Trap: Why saying yes to every request costs you something else, and the one question she now asks instead. 🡒 The Authority Hangover: How one college coach left her unable to trust any leader, and what it took to finally believe her bosses weren't working an angle. 🡒 The Soft Generation: Why she believes her age group struggles to take criticism, and how sport spared her from the same problem. 🡒 The Swan Rule: What she as a project manager is really doing beneath the calm surface, and why there's a fire to put out almost every day. 🡒 The $20 a Day Problem: Why a tiny ad budget goes nowhere, and the 30, 60, 90 day window before marketing starts to show traction.
