In this episode, we dive into Tim Perreira’s incredible journey from climbing the ranks in tech sales to finding his true purpose outside of corporate America. Tim started his career in sports sales before transitioning into tech, where he quickly became a top performer—earning President’s Club and even becoming the #1 seller globally. But behind the success, he was silently struggling with depression and burnout.

After hitting 83% of his quota, he was placed on a performance plan and eventually laid off. Instead of returning to tech, Tim took a different path—starting a clothing company from the ground up, sourcing high-quality suppliers internationally and building an amazing product. As he documented his journey on LinkedIn, something unexpected happened: his candid posts about mental health resonated deeply, sparking conversations with countless high-performing men facing similar struggles.

🔹 Crushing quotas doesn’t always lead to fulfillment.
🔹 Being laid off can be the push you need to build something of your own.
🔹 Sharing your struggles can create unexpected opportunities.
🔹 Community and purpose matter more than titles and commissions.
🔹 True success is about finding fulfillment, not just financial wins.

Now, Tim is a coach and community leader helping high-achieving men realign their careers and lives. This year, he’s taking on his biggest challenge yet—walking across America to raise awareness for men’s mental health. If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing success that doesn’t feel like success, Tim’s story is a must-listen.
