Student outcomes

Real escapees, real results

Escapee U graduates landed their first paying customer and proved their skills work outside corporate.

I landed my first client three weeks into the program. The 1-1-1 Framework cut through all my overthinking and gave me a clear path to revenue. That first dollar proved everything I needed to know.

James Mitchell

Former operations manager, now independent consultant

The networking module reframed how I saw conversations. I stopped thinking about pitching and started seeing every conversation as a potential customer discovery. My first client came from a coffee chat with someone I met through the framework.

Sarah Chen

Sarah Chen

Former marketing director, now solo marketing strategist

The one-on-one coaching with Brett was the turning point. He helped me see that my corporate experience wasn't a liability, it was my unfair advantage. Landed a $5K project in week five.

Marcus Johnson

Marcus Johnson

Former project manager, now independent operations consultant

I was terrified of the sales conversation. The Getting to Yes module made it feel natural, not manipulative. My first customer came because I actually listened instead of selling. That changed everything for me.

Elena Rodriguez

Former HR leader, now independent HR consultant

The lifetime access to the community kept me from falling back into corporate thinking. When I doubted myself after month two, the Escapee Collective reminded me I wasn't alone. That peer support landed me my second client.

David Park

Former finance analyst, now independent fractional CFO

The Foundations module solved problems I didn't even know I had. LLC setup, tax structure, partner integrations, LinkedIn profile refresh. I started week one legally sound and professionally visible. First lead came through my refreshed LinkedIn.
