Hard Reset with Jeuse Kastoan
I’m Jeuse Kastoan. Navy veteran. Husband. Father. MBA student. Rapper. And someone who has had to rebuild more times than I can count.
Hard Reset is my real life journal. Every episode is about the grind nobody sees, the transitions nobody talks about, and the work it actually takes to reach where you’re trying to go.
No filters. No handouts. Just the unseen hours.
