Ep. 30: Yi Lin Pei, Permission to Create Your Soul Hustle

In this episode, I interviewed Yi Lin Pei, who is the director of product marketing at Teachable, an edtech start-up in New York City. At Teachable, Yi Lin and her team help build products that transform experiences and know-how into thriving businesses. In her spare time, Yi Lin is also a tech career coach (www.techgrowthcoach.com) who is helping high-achieving individuals find and land their dream jobs. She has 11 years of experience across various tech companies in Silicon Valley and New York. She is also a mother to an 8 months old daughter.

In this episode, you will learn about:

• Yi’s unconventional upbringing and how she embraced her racial identity, growing up as an Asian woman in Zambia and later immigrating to the U.S. when she was 16.
• How she made her career pivot, after realizing she was unhappy and unfulfilled in her first job before transitioning to product marketing.
• How she started her “soul hustle” in the midst of the pandemic in 2020.
• Three core value lessons that she learned from her career pivots and creating her soul hustle.
