Kohlstadt Show

Podcasting is the easiest, most convenient way to consume content. I think the big focus for me is the journey - mine, yours, and my guests’ - and the expertise, knowledge, wisdom, and insights...especially the kind that takes you from average to amazing, from good to great.

The DK show is available on all major podcasting platforms. Please leave a review, subscribe, comment, and let me know what you think. Who knows, maybe I’ll interview you one day!”

"Really enjoyed this inspiring conversation! 

In this dynamic industry where opportunities are vast, youth empowerment programs like iHub Africa would be of great benefit to our local communities and economy.  People are products of the people that invested in them and this is what iHub Africa has diligently sought out to do. Hillsong Africa Foundation and Shift ONE Digital, thank you for all the work that you do.

As an iHub product myself, I look forward to widening the ripple effect. ✨"
