In this episode of TRY, host Sola sits down with Justin Essien, the Head of Offline Marketing at PiggyVest, to unpack the beautiful, messy reality of career pivots, imposter syndrome, and learning to trust the process when you don’t have all the answers.
Together, Sola and Justin dive into what it really takes to build "reputation capital," the early-career hustle of pushing Afrobeats classics like Skales' Shake Body (and seeing it hit the global stage years later with Lamine Yamal), and why skipping the entry-level grind can actually hurt your long-term growth.
This is a masterclass for anyone who feels stuck in their current major, terrified of a career pivot, or overwhelmed by the unknown. Because no matter how messy the transition feels right now—remember, there is room for you.
