In this episode of The Identity Work Podcast, we talk with Kevin Hollingshead about his unique career journey. He started in private equity, took a sharp turn into nonprofit work mentoring college students, and eventually landed back in the tech industry, navigating multiple roles along the way. Kevin talks honestly about this journey, describing it like a pendulum swinging as he figured out what truly mattered to him beyond external expectations.

You'll hear how he learned to blend his drive to build and tinker with his deep value for people and relationships, finding a better fit in mission-oriented tech startups. Kevin shares practical insights on discovering work you enjoy (and are good at) alongside people you respect, emphasizing that career paths are flexible and U-turns are normal. His experience is a great reminder that meaning often comes after trying things out. (And yes, we even get into Mike Bibby news.)
