On quitting

Honest Conversations is a small, deliberately unpolished talk series. No slides, no moderator with a clipboard, no takeaways. Four people, two hours, one subject, and an audience close enough to interrupt.

This one is about quitting: a job, a discipline, a city, a person, a version of yourself. We asked people who did it and are not entirely sure it was the right call, because those are the more useful stories.

It is recorded for audio but never filmed, and nothing said in the room goes out without the speaker hearing it first.
