Back in December, I sat down for an intimate chat with Kudzi Chikumbu, former TikTok Global Head of Creator Marketing, influential creator, and overall multihyphenate powerhouse - speaker, author, brand strategist.
At the time we spoke, Kudzi was in his own in-between — fresh from a season of rest and in the middle of crafting his next move.
From this headspace, we unpack what it means to:
• Create from space — using rest to reveal authenticity
• Build trust — treating your career as an offering
• Create forwards — iterating from feedback
• Redefine success — Balancing risk, fulfillment, and building a multidimensional life and career that truly feels like us
We often focus on chasing “more.” But life – at its truest – is more like an art form. Beginning from a place of rest, starting with what feels connected and resonant, adding pieces - season by season - until we gradually create a frequency that others can step into.
That’s what my conversation with Kudzi felt like: an invite to reconnect to a new frequency.
Note: Since our chat, Kudzi has released the full season of his new podcast “Not Just One Thing” - a powerful body of work on building a modern portfolio career. Check it out here: https://www.kudzichikumbu.com/podcast
