RoM + EOG made me quit my corporate job and go back to my creative dream.

Running RoM + EOG Stage 1 for a full cycle — the most impactful stack I've ever run. It made me realize at my core that I'm ultimately a creative person, and that's where all my time and energy needs to go. I used to be a successful self-employed musician: world tours, financially independent. A relationship where I gave up my identity crushed my creative confidence and I ended up back in college, got my tech degree, and landed a solid corporate job. But I'm super unhappy and can't find the passion for it. This stack convinced me to leave both the job and the relationship, head back to my hometown, and dive into two creative business ideas: one around audio production, the other around online teaching using all the tech skills I've built. It got me over feeling like a failure for "moving back home." Instead I'm thinking about the freedom, independence, and seeing my family more. My mind is brimming with ideas. My creative urge has shifted from selfish expression to genuinely helping others — combining self-improvement ideas with technical education. I can't wait to see where Stage 2 takes this.
