  Do you want to make a big career change?  But you haven't taken action because you're afraid of failing?   In this episode, we discuss: - How to make a big career change going from dropping out of college and driving Lyft to becoming a software engineer at a Fortune 50 company. - How growing up as a Black man in a single parent household impacted his life and career decisions, and made him have the grit to keep going forward to achieve his dreams.  - What you learn from living paycheck to paycheck, and the mindset shifts you need to make to get out of the hustle mentality.  - Why it's important to know that you are also interviewing the company, and how to build confidence in yourself.  - How working with a career coach helped him make his story shine through, and helped him land his first offer.  - What you can do to turn what you think is your weakness into your X factor, and make employers want to hire you and mentor you.  Learn more about Vincent on LinkedIn at https://www.linkedin.com/in/vincentarobinson/.
