The Half Has Not Been Told: Work, Pop Culture & Stuff That Matters
For anyone looking for just a little less AI, and a focus on what makes us human.
The Half Has Not Been Told, is a podcast about the human side of work and life. The stuff that matters but doesn’t make it onto LinkedIn.
I'll share honest and free flowing conversations about everything from technology to parenting to navigating career and other things that matter to us. Told from the perspective of someone who beleives humanity is worth fighting for.
Hosted by Kenny Temowo — musician, writer, ex-Netflix, dad of three, and VP at an AI infrastructure company. Joined regularly by co-hosts, including his children, as well as Maktuno Suit — psychotherapist, consultant, and entrepreneur.
Expect honesty. Expect laughter. Maybe some tears. But hopefully you’ll leave a little different from how you came in.
