A podcast about pivoting for startups. CTRL SHIFT is a podcast about people who changed the world by changing their perspective. Every start-up goes through periods of being stuck. We believe the key factor in successfully overcoming them is being able to shift: focus, goals, approach, or even to shift altogether to another area. In each episode we tell the story of a shift that we think is a good example - if not, then at least a good lesson for entrepreneurs. We explore all the surprising twists and turns along the way, how talent in one field can turn out to be just what’s needed in another, how to make a successful U-turn when needed; and how, at the end of the day, adaptability is crucial in both business and life.

episode 2: The Startup Shift: From Tech CEO to Social Impact Startup
Alex Stephany is an entrepreneur from London with a startup breaking barriers in the sharing economy. One day a homeless man at a tube station drew his attention, and after striking up a conversation with him, suddenly everything fell into place. Alex realized that everything he had worked on up to that point was a key to helping this man. So how did Alex shift from building an app to helping hundreds of people get off the streets?
