Summary
After 28 years at Microsoft, Joy Chik faces a question most leaders eventually encounter: what comes next? In this episode, Joy reflects on the final stage of her sabbatical — exploring the startup and venture ecosystem, rediscovering the energy of experimentation, and confronting the emotional weight of leaving a place that has shaped her identity for decades. It’s a story about risk, belonging, and intentionally designing the next chapter. Because sometimes the hardest decisions aren’t between good and bad — but between what has been home and what is calling you forward. For email updates signup here .
