About Quit and Switch Podcast

Introducing Quit and Switch with Adrian Daniels. A brand new podcast which focuses on careers, business and entrepreneurship, with a touch of self-development.

Since 2020, the world has never been the same; we have witnessed global phenomenons such as lockdowns, The Great Resignation, The Work From Home Revolution, The Artificial Intelligence Revolution and so much more. 2019 is but a distance memory. Most of all, the career and business marketplace is totally disrupted.

Quit and Switch hosted by Adrian Daniels, reveals stories and lessons of established or rising stars who have pivoted from a specific career, business or industry, so professionals and entrepreneurs in a transition, can gain actionable tips and insights to apply in their own journeys.
