In this episode of The Frontend Masters Podcast, Kevin Powell, a CSS educator and YouTuber,  describes his transition from print design to web development before finding his niche in teaching CSS online. Kevin started his YouTube channel eight years ago as a creative outlet while teaching at a vocational school. He grew it from 100 initial subscribers to a full-time career through consistent weekly content focused exclusively on CSS and HTML. Throughout the podcast, Kevin shares insights on modern CSS features like container queries and view transitions while emphasizing the importance of understanding fundamentals before adopting frameworks like Tailwind. His success stems from deliberately maintaining a narrow focus on CSS despite pressure to cover other technologies, and his journey exemplifies how specializing in one area and maintaining consistency can lead to sustainable content creation. The interview concludes with Kevin reflecting on how he "accidentally" found his path through trying different careers and hobbies until finding what stuck.
