WE’RE BACK. Btw, this is Nico Castro @nicospins making this post 🤫⁣
⁣
Yeah, it’s been awhile since we’ve posted about the podcast but we’ve re-launched!⁣ In this episode, I take the mic and interview the founder of The Crossroadz, Kevin Kai Goh a.k.a. @VertigohVision.⁣
⁣
If you didn’t already know, Kai is pretty damn talented. With a degree in film from UC Santa Barbara, San Diego B-Boy, team member of @StanceElements, intern at Building Block, commercially licensed drone pilot, educational personality on TikTok, and now developing skills in 3D printing, saying he’s a man of many skills is an understatement.⁣
⁣
This doesn’t even include how much he’s positively impacted MY career, personal life, and every community he touches. **Btw, btw, this guy is only like 22 years-young, which is absolutely wild for how much value he brings to the table!⁣
⁣
In this episode, we get to sit down and learn about his origin story, his evolving practice in the very art of learning, navigation through burn out, as well as his plan in taking any medium and maximizing every bit of creative opportunity.⁣
