Building The Blueprint Podcast
Thoughtful Conversations, Relatable Curiosity.
We live in a world where publicized curiosity is left to industry professionals, millionaires, and highly followed public figures. Their perspectives and content are great, but I want to put a more fun and relatable spin on it.
I create and share content everyday of myself and guests diving into fun and important life topics - talking about everything from confidence and professional development to the best flavor of Gatorade.
If you're looking to grow and laugh, this is the show for you.
