Have you ever felt the pull of destiny, a vision of greatness that feels almost too big to seize? Perhaps you've been held back by fear, cultural expectations, or even your own self-doubt. Join us as we share our journey, a podcast destiny that was written on our vision boards before we even knew it. Together, we embarked on an exciting, unexpected path, offering a peek into the creation of The GenKo Sound Co. 

What is it that truly stands between us and our individual greatness? It's a complex question, bound up in our fears, our upbringing, and societal norms. We'll explore the courage it takes to face these fears head-on, to trust in our intuition, and to break free from the shackles of external influences.

Finally, we'll look at the inspiring power of overcoming obstacles. Through the lens of Michael Jordan's indomitable spirit, we'll explore how determination can triumph over physical limitations and perceived weaknesses. We will also highlight the importance of sharing our experiences and stories to help elevate our world, communities, and injustices. Let's rise together, embracing our greatness despite our fears.

Kory is a thriving writer and musician who lives a healthy lifestyle. He follows a pescatarian diet, has lost almost 200 pounds, and is committed to lifelong learning. He is a devoted husband, attentive father, and always available to his loved ones. It's hard to imagine that Kory was once addicted to alcohol and other substances, using them to numb his pain and loneliness. However, he found the strength to walk away from that life and never looked back. He and his crew wrote the song "Monkey" (see Spotify link below) to honor that time and its impact on his journey. Hear his inspiring testimony.

This episode is one you want to share with people who supported you through an addiction or painful life event, someone who is going through a difficult time and needs to hear a story of hope and love, or someone who also celebrates the repair and healing from an addiction.
