Say My Name
<p>EP.34 In this episode, I sit down with Mikenson Deroche, MECM, CBCP, co-founder of the Keep Pedaling Foundation, for a deep conversation about the power of names. Together, we reflect on our personal experiences with our names and how names influence perception, opportunity, and connection. This conversation invites a deeper look at how something as simple as a name can carry culture, history, and the ongoing negotiation between who we are and how we’re received in the world.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guest Information:</strong></p><p><strong>Mikenson Deroche, MECM, CBCP</strong><br>Co-founder, Keep Pedaling Foundation</p><p>Instagram: @_Watchmework</p><p><br></p><p>For more information on the Keep Pedaling Foundation:<br>@keeppedalingfoundation</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p><br></p>
