Recently I got to spend 30 or so minutes with the author of the book and blog Escape from Cubicle Nation, Pam Slim. Pam and I met a few years back when I was starting my blog, and we’ve exchanged books and become friends. Her book was released last year, and for no good reason, I didn’t interview her then. This year, her book is out in paperback, and I LOVE the book, so I wanted to help her promote the book and share some insights with you.
NOTE: Pam and I both agree, jumping out of the corporate America window is NOT for everybody. Even if that isn’t your thing, you can still learn a lot from our conversation about finding a mentor and more.
Escape from Cubicle Nation Makes It Great from Phil Gerbyshak on Vimeo.
It’s about 32 minutes long, and we did it on 2 takes. The first take was going great, but unfortunately the recording wasn’t working. We did this off the top of our heads because we talked about things we are both passionate about.
Now it’s your turn: What questions do you have about escaping corporate America? Is there anything we should have covered in greater depth?

Great interview… GO PAM GO!! I’m inspired by your story….so inspired in fact that I quit over 10 before I heard it. It’s tough to thrive in cubicleville, for some it’s tough to survive. The E–Mythe Re-visited is probably the best book I have ever read about starting a business. Your story is an important one… thank you for sharing your story and for being a bit of a pathfinder for those who may want to escape. I have committed my life to helping corporations create outrageously cool corporate cultures so that cubicle life is an enhancement to your life…not a detraction from it.
Thanks PHIL…. for all you do to help people MAKE IT GREAT
