Description

Join host Kabir Malik as he explores career pivots and unexpected second, third or even fourth, acts. Each episode features him in conversation with someone who made their mark in their chosen profession, before stepping away to pursue something entirely different. These are stories of reinvention, risk and reward.


We start by diving in to what drove their initial success, hearing about the professional highs and personal challenges of their first career, to the moment they realised it was time for a change, and how they made the transition into their next role.


Whether you’re starting out and wondering how to get your ideal job, or you’ve felt the pull of a new direction and wondered what it might involve to take the first step, we hope you’ll be inspired by the conversations we have, as we hear about the creative moves each guest made in their career that led them to the path they’re on.
