Taking on a new career in a new industry, Mike had to quit the well-worn career path he was on to sell beds that come in boxes.

Just a quick note about this episode, it was actually recorded during the middle of my digital marketing conference SocialWest, so a big thank you to Kyle Marshall from MediaLab for setting up a mini-podcast studio in the middle of a busy conference.

This is episode 8 of the first season of the podcast "I Quit!", hosted by Mike Morrison.
