What happens when a high-powered executive recruiter decides he's had enough of America’s grind—and makes a bold move abroad?
In this episode of the Blaxit Global Podcast, I sit down with Rory Verrett, founder of Protégé Search and the Protégé Leadership Academy, to explore his powerful journey from corporate boardrooms to a more peaceful life in Lisbon, Portugal.
We talk about:
- The school violence that became the final tipping point for his Blaxit
- Why traditional success no longer felt fulfilling
- How he redefined purpose and peace outside of the U.S.
- His advice for Black professionals navigating Trump 2.0, layoffs, and the rollback of DEI
- How to position yourself for global opportunities in this shifting landscape
Whether you’re dreaming of living abroad, thinking about your next career move, or just looking for inspiration to reclaim your peace—this conversation is for you.
