Doing Everything Different
Doing Everything Different™ is hosted by Devin Lars, the founder and CEO of KURIEO™, a creative agency that intertwines digital marketing with real world experiences. The DED™ podcast is brought to you by KURIEO™ to highlight the journey to achieving a goal.
In this podcast we explore what it means to define success for ourselves, rather than conforming to someone else’s version of it. With a series of special guests, listen in on conversations about the journey we create, the resilience we discover, and the work it takes to come out on top of our fears, setbacks, and doubts.
Whether you’re here to focus on wellness, advance your career, start your side hustle or anything in between, we’re on the journey with you.
New episodes release every Monday at 8 am EST.
