What if your “too early” is actually right on time?

In this episode of KP Unpacked - the number one podcast in AEC, Jeff Echols sits down with structural engineer turned AI innovator Kevin Jeswani to unpack one of KP Reddy’s boldest articles: Your Career Deserves a Firestarter Moment.
Kevin’s story is the ultimate proof that you don’t need a senior title to start driving change in the AEC industry.

From automating his own workflows to launching data-driven initiatives at startups, Kevin shares how he broke out of the traditional career path, embraced AI before it was trendy, and built a role that didn’t exist on any job board.

🚀 Key takeaways:

Why "waiting your turn" is a career killer in the age of AI
How engineers can transition into innovation roles without starting over
The real mindset shift behind disrupting yourself before you're disrupted
What early-career professionals really need to hear about leadership

This episode is a wake-up call for anyone stuck in the loop of outdated career advice. Whether you’re five months or fifteen years into your career—it’s time to spark your own fire.
