Some people trained to be Olympians and ended up on the red carpet. Some built tech companies. Some were chiefs of staff who became artists, writers who reinvented themselves mid-career, operators who walked away from everything to start over. 'Til You Make It is a conversation series about careers like these: the ones no one could have planned, that only make sense in retrospect. Each episode, host Silvia Oviedo (founder and CEO of Blomma and former executive at Canva and Pinterest) sits down with someone whose path makes no sense on paper and follows the thread back: the early ambition, the first unexpected turn, the irrational bet, the failure that redirected everything, and the people who saw something in them before they saw it themselves.

    From Tech to the Red Carpet - Lex Niko

    Leaving Big Tech to Bet on Yourself—with Lex NikoWhat happens when the career you worked hard to build no longer feels like the career you want? Lex Niko had worked at some of the biggest names in tech—including Google, Amazon, and Pinterest—when she decided to take a chance on something far less predictable: herself. Today, Lex is a host, media personality, brand consultant, and the founder of Conversation Starters, a media company dedicated to keeping people in the cultural conversation. She has built an audience of more than 400,000 people and partnered with brands including Prime Video, the NFL, F1, F1 Academy, Meta, and E! News/NBCUniversal. In this conversation, Lex and Blomma founder Silvia Oviedo talk about the messy middle between knowing you want something different and actually doing something about it. They explore how curiosity can become a career compass, why confidence often comes after the leap—not before it—and what it really takes to build a public-facing career online. Lex also shares what she has learned about ambition, imposter syndrome, rest, and staying kind in industries that reward constant visibility. https://www.instagram.com/lexniko/ https://www.instagram.com/conversationstarters/ In this conversationHow Lex knew it was time to leave techWhy curiosity can be more useful than a perfect career planThe difference between taking a risk and giving yourself a chanceHow to trust yourself when the next step is ambiguousWhat people don’t see behind a successful online presenceWhy rest and self-care are part of the workWhat sports can teach us about kindness, respect, and characterManifesting a red carpet interview with the Heated Rivalry boys or Dua LipaChapters00:00 — When the career you built no longer fits02:23 — Leaving tech for a career in media03:59 — Following curiosity before you feel confident04:21 — The moment Lex decided to bet on herself05:38 — Why trying something is never wasted07:27 — The strengths that make big career moves possible09:02 — Learning to trust yourself in the unknown10:02 — Rest is not a reward10:56 — Imposter syndrome and learning in public14:31 — The invisible work behind an online career33:22 — What athletics taught Lex about kindness and respect Go to blomma.com for more, and use code TYMI for an additional month off coaching!
