CodeSwitch Podcast

We’re back with a raw conversation about the moments that didn’t go as planned — and why that’s exactly where the growth lives. In this episode, Trevor and Hollywood open up about projects that flopped, visions that shifted, and the quiet lessons that come with “failure.” From code that never shipped to big ideas that lost steam, we explore how those losses made us better leaders, creators, and teammates.

Because failure? It’s part of the process.

In the premiere episode of CodeSwitchPodcast, we dive into what it really means to navigate corporate and tech spaces as Black professionals. From unspoken cultural expectations to the constant pressure of unrealistic engineering timelines, we reflect on the moments that inspired this podcast — and the very real need for it.

We talk about:

• Why we started CodeSwitchPodcast
• The reality of code-switching at work
• Gatekeeping inside our own communities
• How engineering teams get boxed in by commitments
• The tension between authenticity and performance

Whether you’re in tech, on the rise, or just tired of pretending — this is the space for you.
