What if the only thing standing between you and your dream life is you?

In this unapologetically real episode of Grow with Kepo, host Kepo Omotade sits down with powerhouse business mentor Maddie Kossin - the woman who went from a 9-5 in car sales to building a multi-seven-figure empire. Maddie doesn’t hold back as she shares the mindset, grit, and decisions that changed everything. If you’re a high achiever stuck in “someday,” this is your wake-up call. It’s time to stop waiting for permission.
