Hey friends, it’s Michael, and this week on The Kintsugi Podcast, we’re diving into a lesson wrapped in humor, grit, and the unconventional wisdom of My Cousin Vinny.

Together, let’s embrace our imperfections, defy convention, and make ripples of change. You’ve survived 100% of your hardest moments—let’s keep going.
