Hole In The Soul Kevin Oldham, VUCA Fit, Jose Bolaños

We can't wait to dive into today's episode with you as Kevin and Jose discuss life in the US compared to Nicaragua. We're unpacking the big topic of consumerism and its impact on our lives. They will also be contrasting their experiences—Kevin's from the heart of the "American bubble" and Jose's from the vibrant, sometimes chaotic, world of Latin America. Together, we'll explore what it means to live in these different realities and how they shape our views on possessions and happiness.
