No one puts “get laid off” on their five-year plan.

But sometimes, the path to success doesn’t look like a straight line—it looks like a left turn. For many of the entrepreneurs at RISE, job loss wasn’t the end. It was the beginning. Maybe you’ve been there: ???? Let go from a job you outgrew ???? Burned out from corporate life ???? Stuck in a career that no longer fit And then suddenly—space opened up. Not just in your calendar, but in your life.That’s when something powerful can happen. You stop waiting for a job to give you permission to grow. You create your own opportunity.

From “What Now?” to “What’s Next?”

We’ve seen hairstylists open their first suite. CPAs and consultants launch their own firms. Makers, marketers, and franchisors bet on themselves—and win. None of them planned for the door to close. But they all chose to walk through the next one. Every journey is unique, but the drive to build something of their own is a common thread.
