not your ordinary company
At Exiting the Matrix, Inc., we work for ourselves. We don’t answer to anyone (except for maybe the birds whistling a sweet tune or our loyal fur companions beckoning us for a cuddle or a romp through the forest.)
Though many of us have spent way too much time trying to fit in with the rest of the sheeple climbing the corporate ladder, earning accolades, and getting promotions, we could care less about those things now.
Today, we’d much rather spend our days with our feet in a creek instead of in polished shoes earning some tight-lipped tycoon money, fame, or power. Exiting the Matrix, Inc. is a non-company run by no people for all the people.
Welcome aboard, warrior. We commend you for wanting to leave the status quo and embark on a journey toward a more fulfilling life, one that you are excited to wake up to every day.
At Exiting the Matrix, Inc., we want to support you in any way possible. Though it will mostly be a solo journey, we aim to connect you with other curious misfits who will help you feel less crazy and alone as you navigate uncharted territory.
Ready to stop working for the man and start working for yourself? Ready to build the life of your dreams? Ready to exit the matrix? You’re in the right place.
“Let yourself be silently drawn by the strange pull of what you really love. It will not lead you astray. In the silence, there is a sacred mystery, a path that shows the way not with words but with the heart’s yearning.” - Rumi

What We Value
The things we believe in that help make this company extraordinary.
work-life balance
Instead of attending useless meetings, commuting, or gossiping about the latest office scandal, we spend our time lying in hammocks, hiking mountaintops, traveling to foreign lands, practicing hobbies, nurturing relationships, meditating, nourishing ourselves with healthy foods, and working out.
Diversified income
We don’t have just one cash cow bringing home the bacon. Instead, our income comes from various sources which means if one cow lies down for a little nap, we still have plenty of eggs in other baskets to barter for goods.
Time Freedom
We organize our days according to our mood, moon phase, energy level, travel itinerary, weather, and whim, not on the dreaded nine-to-five from two centuries ago.

Meet the Team
nicole paulus
CEO, CMO, CFO, HR, Sales Lead, and President
From the time I was young, climbing the corporate ladder, popping out a few kids, going to Little League on the weekends, vacationing in Florida two weeks a year, and consuming mindlessly in between didn't seem all that appealing.
Still though, when my student loans started creeping in, I tried desperately to secure my own matrix job. Graduating during a financial crisis meant the job tap was bone dry, however. Out of desperation, I began freelance copywriting and was lucky enough to get a taste of freelance freedom early on. Now I travel the world permanently and share my knowledge of how to exit the matrix and live a life on your own terms with other curious misfits.
