About this episode

Drew Overcash is a songwriter (and Jessi's cousin). He's talented, and he has drive. And he had some success in the musical theater world, while continuing to hold down multiple survival gigs. Eventually, though, he realized that his career aspirations - and life goals - were shifting. And that led him somewhere entirely different: Coding bootcamp, and a job as a front-end engineer at Spotify. Drew joins Jessi to share his story of career reinvention.
