Join us for a heartfelt conversation on The Agile Coach Podcast, where Pabitra sits down with Tyrone Dollison Jr, a true example of resilience and transformation. Tyrone’s story is anything but linear.

He’s worn many hats, from working in education and finance to diving deep into analytics, and eventually making his mark as a product leader in tech. Along the way, he’s faced self-doubt, career pivots, and the challenge of breaking into a new industry without a traditional background.

In this episode, Tyrone opens up about the real struggles and wins that shaped his journey. He shares how reframing his identity, from “finance guy” to “tech professional” was a game-changer, and why knowing your own story inside out is the secret sauce for nailing interviews.

What You’ll Learn:

  • The mindset shift that helped Tyrone see himself as a tech professional—and why that matters more than your resume
  • How to prepare for interviews so you can confidently talk about your experience (and not sound like a robot)
  • Building real connections with recruiters and why those relationships can open unexpected doors
  • The art of storytelling in interviews, using the STAR method, and how to share both real and hypothetical stories to show your thinking
  • What to do when you don’t know the answer to a question (hint: honesty and curiosity go a long way)
  • Why helping others in your network can come back to help you in surprising ways
  • How to treat interviews as a two-way street, gathering data about companies and making sure they’re the right fit for you
