After Hours with Nate
Nathaniel Kim
After Hours, hosted by Nathaniel Kim, will be a series of podcasts made up of different interviews with people around the world. In each podcast, a different interview will be hosted with a different guest, discussing any topic from "experiences in professional soccer" to "favorite character from AOT" to "advice on self improvement".
how struggles are essential to growth
Welcome back to another episode of After Hours with Nate. In this episode, I'm joined with one of my closest friends Alexander Cobb, who I have had the pleasure (and not so much pleasure at other times) since third grade. We talk about different things like how much Alex has grown over the years (he once broke his tennis racket after losing a match when he was younger), picking himself up from a bad slump, his aspirations moving forward, and he also shows us what NOT TO DO in a podcast interview. I hope you guys enjoy this long episode as it's more of a comedic interview rather than all serious talk. Thanks :)
