We're launching ’Til You Make It, a new interview series hosted by Blomma co-founder Silvia Oviedo López.
Each episode sits down with a guest whose career didn’t move in a straight line, and asks what actually happened in the parts nobody puts on a resume - the pivots, the risks, the stretches of not knowing that come before the win.
The series is built on a simple idea: nobody arrives at a career fully formed. Every guest is, in some way, still in progress. ’Til You Make It is where that gets talked about out loud.
Episode 1: Sid Dabral on curiosity, coaching, and taking the risk
The first episode features Sid Dabral, Blomma’s co-founder, in conversation with Silvia about the career that took him through mobile, blockchain, and AI - each one years before the rest of the market caught up - and what it actually took to get there.
Sid traces his curiosity back to building his first computer with his father, an IBM engineer, at the kitchen table. That same instinct - take it apart, find out how it works, ask why the better version doesn’t exist yet - carried him through his first company, Button, and into co-founding Blomma.
The episode also covers a moment most founders don’t talk about on the record: a stretch of Sid’s career when he didn’t feel like he’d earned his seat at the table. He talks candidly about how coaching, not a win or a promotion, is what changed that - and how it shaped his belief that people navigating their careers deserve the same kind of outside perspective.
Key takeaway: the confidence that looks effortless from the outside is almost always a bet made before the proof exists. Sid’s episode makes the case that taking the risk, staying curious, and getting outside perspective through coaching matter more than having it all figured out in advance.
