Max stood before the company building, holding his termination letter. As a senior employee, he never imagined being laid off. Ten years of dedication, exchanged for a dismissal notice. He felt lost and helpless, unsure of his future. Returning home, looking at his wife and children, guilt filled his heart. He had to find a new path—for his family, and for himself.
During unemployment, Max reflected on his life. Looking through old notes, he discovered he always had an entrepreneurial dream. At a cafe, he met his old friend Lisa. She also had startup ideas. They clicked immediately and decided to start a business together. They discussed directions and chose to build an online education platform to help people learn new skills.
