"This is also another job" | Co-Founder, Ex-Amazon on transition from worker to founder
<p>Episode 4 | Part 2</p><p>Kaivan Wadia, quite literally, is a rare breed - a Parsi with an unsurprisingly big heart. Parsis are a community that fled Persia in the 8th Century towards India, and today, there are just 100,000 left. They have a unique culture and outlook to life, contributing so deeply to India’s culture, despite being 0.0005% of the population. </p><p>Part 1 of the episode explored Kaivan’s early life, the perspective he gained from his family, Parsi community, and early boarding school experience. Part 2 is all about his transition from worker to business owner, the end of Amazon and beginnings of CoverForce. We go into how Kaivan manages through directness and empathy. He delves into why he felt burnout as an owner, and recognizing that this too is another job. </p><p>His journey has taken him from a small town called Porbandar in Western India to Bombay, Austin, New York City via checkpoints in Chennai and Boston. His career spans video game development, running an organization at Amazon, co-founding CoverForce, as a CTO. Find out more at www.CoverForce.com.</p><p>Kaivan truly is the most emotionally sustainable ‘corporate mouse’ (as he puts it) I know. In this revealing conversation with someone I’ve known for over 18 years, we learn from Kaivan’s journey, perspective and superpower - compartmentalization. Hope his journey and this conversation helps you with your own burnout, exhaustion, career transitions and growth. </p><p>Part 1 of the episode explored Kaivan’s early life, the perspective he gained from his family, Parsi community, and early boarding school experience.
