What if the smartest move in your forties is starting over as an intern? 

In this episode, we sit down with Adi Aloni, Customer Success Leader, to unpack a rare kind of career resilience: going from an established career, to taking a leap into an MBA, to a humble reentry through a marketing internship, and then a decisive pivot into customer success leadership. It’s a story about trading ego for opportunity and discovering how a nonlinear path can be a competitive edge.

For the first time ever, Adi shares her career journey and walks us through the phases of building customer success from the ground up: early days with a handful of customers, finding product‑market fit, scaling teams and specialisation, and finally shifting to sustainable growth with sharper retention and efficiency. 

We discuss:

  • Why active listening outperforms any script 
  • How to price time and expertise so “free” help doesn’t become invisible
  • What it takes to maintain momentum when you choose to stay at one company for a decade 
  • AI’s emerging role in customer success


She also shares why she believes that the grass isn’t greener; it’s better watered—especially when you have the right people, a product you believe in, and permission to shape your own role.

This conversation will leave you inspired so tune in and enjoy.
