In this episode, Heidi Stout sits down with AJ Kazmierczak, aka The Coffee Viking, to explore his raw and refreshing take on parenting, personal growth, and building authentic connections.

AJ shares how he balances being a new father with his entrepreneurial journey, his surprising lessons on accountability, and what his time with 1st Phorm has taught him about community and resilience.
