KYN Trailer

I started this podcast out of real curiosity. I genuinely enjoy talking with people and learning from their experiences—getting to know who they are and what shaped them into the person they are today. It began with a simple idea: getting to know people I thought I already knew a little better. Over time, it’s grown into something more. Now, it’s not just about talking with people in my network—friends, people from my local community, fellow Naval Academy alumni, or veterans—but also about sitting down with those unique people all around us, our ‘neighbors’ in the broadest sense, who have interesting stories, different perspectives, and real experience to share. We talk about successes and failures, lessons learned, and the things that actually shape a life, so I can learn from them and apply that wisdom to my own growth. If that’s something you value—if you enjoy real conversations, curiosity, and learning from other people—you’re in the right place. I’d love for you to listen, subscribe, and follow along for the ride. Join me to Know Your Neighbor.
