The One with the Broken Pottery

In the Season 3 Opener, Kevin breaks down the ancient Japanese art of Kintsugi - restoring shattered pots with gold joinery. What seemed broken is now the most beautiful vessel. Kevin links this craft to the entrepreneurial journey, pulling from several sources to make this history lesson come alive in the way only Kevin does.

Real estate investors often use real estate to dig out from old baggage. Kintsugi helps entrepreneurs not carry that weight. Tune in for these amazing stories and more!
