9.10 – Kevin Prewett – Solo Episode – Podbrand Media and Rising Tide Startups

Sometimes the best lessons come from someone who's just one step ahead. After 300+ episodes and founders from over 30 countries, Kevin Prewett is hitting the reset button on Rising Tide Startups. Not starting over, just getting refocused on what matters most: that leap from cubicle to startup. In this episode, Kevin explains why he's shifting direction. He's learned that while successful founders have amazing stories, sometimes their lessons are harder to apply when you're just starting. Instead, he wants to focus on people just slightly ahead in the journey. Still working day jobs, still building nights and weekends, still figuring it out. Kevin embodies this approach. He keeps his full-time job while building side ventures that all trace back to his original podcast - Rising Tide Startups. His story proves you don't need to quit everything to start building something meaningful. This reset focuses on the transition moment that most people can actually relate to. Here are the key takeaways from the episode: Find mentors who are just slightly ahead of you. Learning from someone 10 steps ahead is inspiring, but someone 2-3 steps ahead gives you a roadmap you can actually follow. You don't have to choose between stability and building something. Kevin has monetized multiple side ventures while keeping his day job, proving you can have both. Free content builds everything else. Start by giving value, and everything else follows. Narrowing your focus creates deeper connections. After featuring all types of founders, Kevin is zeroing in on the cubicle-to-startup transition because that's where people need the most help. Consistency wins over intensity. Two episodes per month keeps the momentum without burning out. The leap is the story that matters most. That moment when someone stops dreaming and starts building is where real inspiration lives.   Listen to the full conversation here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingtidestartups Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-startups/id1330525474 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eq7unl70TRPsBhjLEsNZR Connect with Kevin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-prewett/  Website: https://www.podbrandmedia.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podbrandmedia/    Closing thought:"Sometimes the most powerful move isn't jumping off the cliff—it's building your wings while you're still on solid ground."
