In this episode of Grow With Kepo, we sit down with Pelumi Ogedengbe, Senior Product Manager and Founder of Aidrr, a career coaching platform redefining how people align with meaningful work. Pelumi has helped over 500 people land roles they love, especially in tech. His story is deeply relatable and full of insight for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, misaligned, or ready to pivot.

• How to identify what comes to you naturally
• Why people struggle to see their own strengths
