Welcome to the Kampai Sugai Podcast! If you're like myself, you want to just pull a chair and relax after a long strenuous day. If you want a podcast where you can just turn your brain off for a bit while listening to some amazing stories from incredible people, this is the podcast for you! When you're ready, grab your go-to drink of choice, get comfortable, plug in your headphones, and chill with the Kampai Squad and I. All we need to do now is raise our glasses and say kampai (cheers in japanese) to a great day. Kampai!
