In this special episode, the mic gets flipped.
Christine Perfetti, founder of Lift Up and longtime UX leader, is interviewed by her son, Ben Perfetti. What follows is a deeply personal and heartfelt conversation about curiosity, career pivots, fear, growth and what it really means to build a meaningful life and career.
Ben asks thoughtful questions about Christine’s childhood goals, why she didn’t become a therapist, how she discovered the world of UX, and what led her to create Lift Up. Christine opens up about the scary moments, the sparks of inspiration, and the power of simply starting even when you don’t know where it will lead.
What You’ll Hear:
- Why Christine almost became a therapist
- The winding path to UX and product research
- How Lift Up was born out of uncertainty and community
- Why taking action even when you’re scared is important to reinvention
- Ben’s reflections on what he’s learned watching his mom build something from scratch
