Becoming a Grown Ass Man with Kevin Hart

THIS EPISODE WAS RECORDED BEFORE SAG-AFTRA WENT ON STRIKE.

On the debut episode of my new podcast The Relationship Chronicles, I’m joined by the one and only Kevin Hart. You may know him from movies like Jumanji and Central Intelligence, for his stand-up comedy, or maybe his multiple podcasts and business ventures. He is one of the hardest-working men in Hollywood, but to me, he’s simply K- Hart.

In today’s episode, we’re dishing on what it means to be a good father, where real friendships begin, and the key to breaking unhealthy generational cycles.
