John Kim shares personal reflections on love, masculinity, and growth in a solo episode recorded in Costa Rica.

In this solo episode, John Kim shares a collection of personal notes written over coffee in Costa Rica, exploring what he's learning about wholeness, love, masculinity, ambition, and personal growth.
