That's exactly where Dr. Deepak Bhootra found himself, and Rise Up At Work was born. In this episode of Invst Guru, Jeff \"Fuzzy\" Wenzel sits down with Dr. Deepak to unpack the broken employer-employee contract, why 35% of salespeople leave the sales function by age 35, and how his push-pull coaching framework helps workers make smarter career decisions — instead of reactive ones. Dr. Deepak also gets candid about the equity crowdfunding raise he's running on Wefunder, why he designed his investment tiers around \"do good\" outcomes, and what he told the first three angels who rejected him to his face. Whether you're a retail investor exploring early-stage opportunities or a professional wondering if you're leaving your job for the right reasons — this one's for you. 🔑 TOPICS COVERED: Why the employer-employee contract has devolved over 30 years The push-pull framework for career transition decisions Sales longevity & mental health in high-pressure roles Building a coaching platform for the overlooked 21–29 age group AI's impact on sales professionals and career development How Dr. Deepak is raising on Wefunder and what investors should know The \"do good\" thesis behind Rise Up At Work 📈 INVEST IN RISE UP AT WORK: https://wefunder.com/riseupatwork 🔗 CONNECT WITH DR.
