Our new way to search for purposeful work

Issue 854, Sun 26 July, 2026

Dear Escapees,

There is something about looking out of a train window that makes your current life feel oddly negotiable.

You are on your way to work, or back from somewhere, or just sitting opposite someone eating a banana too aggressively, and all of a sudden you are imagining other versions of yourself. The person who lives in Bristol and works four days a week. The person who runs a bakery. The person who has somehow contrived to never again sit in a meeting called “alignment”.

It does not even have to be realistic. That is not the point.

The point is that part of you is clearly still awake. Still curious. Still capable of picturing a life that looks a bit different from the one you have now. Which is useful information, even if you do not immediately pack it all in and start an organic jam company.

This week’s Top 10 is for that part of you. The one pressed against the glass, wondering what else might be possible.

Happy Escaping,

Team Escape
