A Conversation with Kevin Johar
May 07, 2024 Season 1 Episode 1

Kevin Johar is one of my favorite people to talk to about money, ambition, and self-belief. We met years ago through a mutual friend and bonded over our interest in MBTI and working for ourselves . He's an advocate for sharing - and showing - your work, an approach I appreciate in others but have historically been too afraid to do myself. 

Inspired by his vulnerability, I share what prompted me to to start this podcast and what my goals are. Kevin talks about the crossroads he's at in his career and endures a lot of unsolicited advice from me. :)

This isn't the first episode I recorded for WWATD, but it's the first I'm publishing. Perhaps what Kevin is best at is helping people feel comfortable enough to let their authentic self rise to the surface. Despite my best efforts, I am very much myself during this conversation.
