Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of "Dear Kennedy"! I'm Ken, your host, and I'm stoked to kick off this podcast journey with you all. So, let me tell you a bit about myself. I'm 36, and by day, I'm knee-deep in the world of open-heart surgery as a nurse. Pretty intense, right? But when the scrubs come off, I step into my other worlds.

Writing is my passion, my escape, my way to make sense of the world. It's like therapy, but cheaper! I pour my thoughts into words, whether it's about life, love, or the mysteries of the universe. And then there's my nocturnal side—I'm an explorer at heart. Not the Indiana Jones type, more like wandering through city streets at 3 AM, discovering hidden gems and stories untold.

Now, "Dear Kennedy" isn't your average podcast—it's a mishmash of ideas, stories, and experiences. I'm not tied down to one theme because life isn't one-dimensional, right? We'll dive into my own escapades, the highs, the lows, and everything in between. But it's not just about me; I want you all on this ride too.

Imagine this podcast as our digital campfire where we swap tales, debate the weird and wonderful, and maybe even uncover some truths along the way. You'll hear about my mishaps in the ICU, my midnight musings under the stars, and perhaps a bit of advice from someone who's seen their fair share of heartbeats—both metaphorical and literal.

And here's the deal—I'm all about dialogue. This isn't a monologue where I talk at you for an hour. Nope. I want your thoughts, your stories, your hot takes. Slide into my DMs, drop a comment, or send a carrier pigeon—whatever floats your boat. Let's make this podcast our little corner of the internet where everyone's voice matters.

So, whether you're listening on your commute, during a late-night study session, or just to drown out your neighbor's terrible karaoke, I'm thrilled you're here. Let's explore, let's laugh, and maybe shed a tear or two. Together, we'll navigate this messy, beautiful thing called life.
