James Kennedy | Founder of 28 Year Old Male, joins me to share a deeply honest conversation about identity, growth and finding confidence in who you are. We talk about how James and I first met, his experience growing up at school as the “super tall kid,” and feeling like he didn’t quite fit in. James opens up about the mental battles that stopped him from playing basketball, and how those challenges shaped his outlook on life. He also shares how he was inspired by my public speaking, the early days of starting the 28 Year Old Male Instagram and Podcast, and the importance of creating spaces for open conversation. We finish by diving into the Backyard Cricket Series, what it represents, how it came together, and why community, connection and showing up matter more than ever. Hosted on Acast.
