#38 - The Pros And Cons Of Going Viral with Parker Kane

The Grow With Moin Podcast

Today’s episode is special because this is the first time I’ve ever had this kind of guest on my show and I’m just very excited to share this beautiful story of chasing dreams with all of you. Parker Kane’s video of him beatboxing on a McDonald’s cup went viral 5 years ago and it changed his life. That became his stepping stone to do more with music, speak on stages and even launch his own podcast. I love how he values his dreams, stays grounded, and surrounds himself with family and friends. I hope you’ll enjoy this episode as much as I did and stay tuned at the very end for a very special performance.
