Back to EpisodesDeep Questions About Business and Life FT. Vaughn Kohler (PART 1) - EP 197
Description
Today's episode is something different. It's raw, unscripted, and personal. I'm joined by my co-host, Amanda May, and our guest, Vaughn Kohler, for a conversation that starts with middle school nicknames and ends up diving deep into emotional intelligence, leadership, dating, trauma, and even AI companions. It's hilarious, it's human, and yeah—it gets a little weird.
We discuss what it means to lead people, what makes someone magnetic in business and life, and how humor, self-awareness, and community play significant roles in both personal healing and professional growth. There are moments of insight, moments of vulnerability, and moments where we can't stop laughing—because sometimes the best leadership lessons come wrapped in ridiculous stories. We touch on stretch marks, Planned Parenthood STD tests, childhood bullying, and what it takes to connect in a disconnected world.
We share the stuff that shaped us, the things that humbled us, and the practices that keep us grounded. So if you're building something meaningful, navigating the mess of leadership, or just need to laugh at how weird and beautiful this whole journey is, this episode is for you.
