This is the very first episode of the Patina'd Podcast! The first guest needed to be someone that Kenny (the host) could be very comfortable with, so he chose his namesake: Kenny Jr. (KJ).

KJ is 9 years old, a mentor to his 3 younger brothers, and already attaining wisdom from taking on challenges. It is said that "you can learn from a three-year-old on a daily basis if you're open to it;" and it is certainly true that you can take something away from this episode with a 9-year-old.

-KJ shares about his passion with sports.

-His take on dating.

-His "Choice" between the 2 roads.

-An honest confrontation with his Dad, and respect for his Mom.

Today's episode mentioned the "Choices" video on YouTube, here is the link: https://youtu.be/NlqDPf1aejA The Patina'd Podcast is about the earned wisdom found in pain. It's about chasing failure, catching it, and using that as an opportunity. It's about scar tissue, and sinew. It's about stretch marks, and dented fenders, and refusing to hide them.

It's about pushing our Insecurities and shame to the forefront, not behind us.

Instead of seeing rust as something that compromises a structures integrity, we chose to see it as the grit that builds character. There are many shows that highlight the human spirit. They're great, listen to them! This show does this too, but with people who are your neighbors. These guests are you and me. They're incredible people right in front of us. Let's hear their story.

The show's name "Patina'd Podcast:"

Most people are attracted to antiqued things, whether it's furniture, vehicles, or music. There is something about age and weathering that draws us in. Many will copout with buying "vintage" looking items, but wishing they had the authentic originals; The piece with 100 years of patina that can't be replicated.

This also happens in the human experience! There are people who choose to appear wise without the experience to back it up; They offer to themselves the phony version. Others will allow misery to make them better, wiser, and Patina'd. This show is to highlight the others.
