The Swiss Banker Who Quit to Optimize Bodies - Mauro Stara #006

So, Your journey is a lot like mine, where I got into corporate America after I left the military and realized pretty quickly, there's no way I'm going to spend the next 30 years of my life doing this, giving my time to something I don't care that much about and building somebody else's business.

So you started building your health coaching business during your full-time job and in the banking industry, right? So what was that like? How did, how did you get, where did, when did you get to the point where you said, I've got to, I've got to quit.

I've got to cut ties and just go full all in on my, my own business.

I can't remember the first time that thought came.

I believe it was pretty early on.

Uh, maybe two 12 to 13.

I really can't remember like when the first thought came of, Hey, this could be it, right? But I would say the most important decision was in summer 2015.

I was already...

So prior to banking, I was with ISS, right? ISS Facility Services, like the biggest facility management company in the world.

And they...

Their whole thing is all out of one hand.

They used to be a cleaning company, and then they started offering services around electricity and plumbing and everything you need to have your company function.

And that was also something I took in terms of organizing myself and offering everything in-house.

So blood work, training, nutrition versus just one thing, right? You could say I kind of stole their idea of big philosophy towards mine.

But I was first with them till 2013.

And then 2013, I switched to banking.

And as I switched to banking, after like two years in 2015... two friends and I went to a seminar and during that seminar they presented like different career paths and one of the paths that I was interested in and they as well was it was kind of similar to a bachelor but less well it was still studying but a little bit less studying and more practical versus the bachelors you go more to school and less to work and this one is more because I'm a practical learner.

Like I got to do stuff to learn it.

I can't just focus on the theory.

So more doing a little bit less theory, but similar height or level of degree in economics.

And so that was a career path.

And then they said, okay, this is what's going to cost you.

What are you going to do? And the different roles, like you can be like a junior manager.

You have like two, three employees under you.

Team leader, this and this and this, right? So...
