About this episode

In this episode, Kevin introduces the July theme 'Jobly 2026' focusing on work and self-improvement while sharing his personal journey of sobriety and self-employment.

Happy July 1st! Kevin launches the new monthly Life Theme: “Jobly 2026” — a full month dedicated to work, toil, self-accountability, and leveling up your professional (and personal) life. In this sweaty, real-talk solo episode recorded during a brutal Western New York heat wave, Kevin connects last month’s June Bloom growth to this month’s focus on jobs — whether that’s your current role, finding a new one, starting your own thing, or excelling as a stay-at-home parent.
