Meet Founders & People Making an Impact on Driven By

Welcome to our podcast where you’ll hear from those who have boldly blazed their own trail. We discuss what drives them, the risks they have taken, and what they have learned along the way.

OUR LATEST EPISODE

Andy Kizzee didn’t set out to build a workforce model in one of Memphis’ most challenged neighborhoods. However, after moving into Binghampton and getting to know his neighbors, he began asking a different question: not just why people weren’t working, but what kind of work actually changes a life. A structural engineer by training, Andy spent six years in India before returning to Memphis with a conviction that a good job can solve more than just income: it can create stability, dignity and opportunity.
