Why I Went Back To Solar and Moving Into My Own Place | Ep 9

About this episode

In this episode, Nick Federico and his girlfriend Sara discuss his recent life changes, including moving into a new place and returning to solar sales after leaving his corporate job.

Welcome back to The Betterment Podcast: The Pursuit of Infinite Growth! In this episode, I’m bringing back the fan favorite my girlfriend Sara, for a real and raw conversation about the last six months of my life. We’re talking about everything from moving into my new place (yes, kind of in the hood), what it’s like to completely create and control my environment, and the wild story of how I even found this spot. We also dive deep into my return to solar sales and why I left, what leaving my corporate job taught me, and the grind of applying to hundreds of jobs over the past few months. I share the tough lessons I learned during my time away from work, the purposelessness I felt, and how I’ve gained a whole new appreciation for selling, working, and the door-to-door life.
