About Leavers
Brayden Green interviews people who have either decided to leave or have been forced to leave something substantial in their lives. Such as people who have been made redundant, people who have quit their job, or even people that have left their own home. The fact is we all leave things often not knowing if it was the right decision or not. I can't promise you this podcast will give you all the answers on if you should leave something or not, but what it will give you is perspective on how others have done it. Leavers is a Smashed Gnome Production https://smashedgnomeproduction.com/
