The Opportunity That Changed Everything | TUNLVSN Podcast

What happens when one opportunity opens the door—but the rest of the journey is up to you?

In this episode of the TUNLVSN Podcast, host John “Kenny” Levister sits down with fellow Year Up United alum Michelaine “Michy” Almodovar, a Senior Investment Specialist, for a real conversation about opportunity, grit, career growth, mentorship, and becoming the person you were called to be.

Two alumni. Two different journeys. One shared experience that helped change the trajectory of their lives.

Kenny and Michy reflect on their experiences with Year Up United, the lessons they carried beyond the program, and what it takes to keep moving forward when the next step isn’t always clear. They also unpack the importance of relationships, resilience, giving back, and creating opportunities for the people coming behind you.

This conversation is bigger than landing a job or reaching the next career milestone. It’s about what you do when the opportunity finally arrives—and who you become along the way.

In this episode:
• How Year Up United impacted Kenny and Michy’s journeys
• Turning opportunity into long-term career growth
• The role of grit, mentorship, and relationships
• Navigating uncertainty and betting on yourself
• Why “lifting as you climb” matters
• Using your story and success to create opportunities for others

The opportunity can change everything. But what you do with it can change even more.

This episode was created in paid partnership with Year Up United.
