a MUCH COOLER little sister to "How I Built This" on NPR

A fun and inspiring celebration of women (and men) who have redefined the typical career path, following their creative and social passions to success. MK is a skilled host with unique ability to ask deep yet empathetic questions with a tone of enthusiasm and excitement that makes me smile.

If you like "How I Built This" on NPR, People Cooler that Me will be your next feel good favorite

Loved the format - very interesting guests :)

Very inspiring!

Just listened to the first episode and can’t wait for the next. I loved the tactical explanation of how this artist is meeting her responsibilities in life while keeping her eye on the prize with her ultimate, creative goals. Sometimes the ladder seem so pie in the sky it’s easy to set them aside and settle in to the pace of a 9-5 but I loved understanding how it’s possible to manage both and stay inspired. Very cool podcast!
