Full Spectrum with Molly Kawahata
Molly Kawahata has navigated the halls of the Obama White House, a Patagonia film, and life with Bipolar II—and always wondered one thing: what do you do when the stakes are high and nothing’s clear? Part memoir, part strategy session, part existential crisis with a mic—Molly dives into unfiltered convos with founders, scientists, and wild humans to translate their experiences into real tools you can use—whether you’re building something or flat on your back rethinking everything.
