I’m Coach Neko Parham, and I’ve been helping others turn their trauma into triumph for decades. I’ve mentored and trained young artists my entire adult life while cruising the screens of TV and film as an actor myself. For the first time, along with my partners in crime Max and Caleb Hall, I’m hitting ”record” on the quest for purpose - and exploring my own traumas, passions, and purpose in the process.
Our bread and butter is deeply personal stories, life-altering insights, and raw transparency - and each conversation with an expert, A-lister, or yet-to-be-discovered personality will be filled with all of the above.
Unblocking the pathway to purpose, one episode at a time.
