Running His Own AI Company Made Him Better at His 9-5
About this podcast
Ctrl Shift is an interview podcast about the shifts people make in their careers and lives, and the shortcuts they pick up along the way.
Host and Pick 2 Solutions Founder, DeVante Pickering, sits down with seasoned leaders and traces the whole arc: where they started, what changed, and what they learned navigating the turns. Every episode opens with the same question, "When you were younger, what did you want to be when you grew up?" and follows the honest path from that first answer to now. No highlight reels, no pretending it was a straight line, just real conversations about the pivots that shaped a career and the lessons worth passing on.
Ctrl Shift. Shortcuts for building longevity
