On today's episode of the podcast, JK has a conversation with Charles Joujoute to get his perspective on evaluating personal connections in a post-election world.
At the age of 5, Charles's family immigrated from Haiti to the United States. During Charles's journey from childhood to now commited father and devoted husband, he has had the opportunity to see, hear, and live through a multitude of experiences that shape who he is today. From those experiences, he developed a very candid and straightforward point of view around what matters most to him and his family.
As JK and Charles discuss in this episode, there are many different views coming out of the most recent US Presidential Election. These differences are beyond simply which political party you identify with. What cannot be denied is that this is one of, if not the most, emotionally-charged elections in recent history. Listen as JK and Charles discuss how those views and emotions can and have and an effect on their personal relationships, and how they answer the question: "Where do we go from here?".
Regardless of who you voted for in the 2020 Presidential Election, this episode is for you.
If you'd like to connect with Charles, you can reach out to him through his podcast, 'Untangling' (available on all major podcasting platforms), where he peels back the layers of a vast array of topics, from healthcare to autonomous vehicles, and more.

On today's episode, JK shares his perspective on how to stay focused on your vision.
On today's episode of the podcast, JK has a conversation with Taylor Hansen, Owner of Taylored For You Coaching and Host of the podcast: "Pursue Your Potential".
In this conversation, JK and Taylor talk about her experience successfully completing the #75Hard program, which was created by Andy Frisella as a way to develop mental toughness.
While the episode does contain some tactical information on how to tackle the program, this conversation is really centered around reflecting back on the experience from the standpoint of the after-effects. With any program that demands perfection in order to claim successful completion, there are going to be some challenges and emotions to work through not only during the process, but more importantly, afterwards.
There are a lot of podcasts out there (including this one) with episodes that share the experience of the #75Hard program immediately after the guest has completed it. This episode offers the unique perspective of what it now feels like 75 days later.
