13. Own Your Strengths with Logan Cohen, CEO of Kudzoo

Enoughness with Lisa Carmen Wang

Education has always been a driving force for today’s guest, Logan Cohen, CEO of Kudzoo App. Whether it's educating herself about the complexities of others or encouraging tomorrow’s leaders through her app, Kudzoo, Logan is always pushing herself to grow and encouraging others to grow alongside her. In today’s episode, Logan reminds us that we not only have to know our strengths, we also have to own them on a daily basis. It’s easier than ever to constantly feel like you’re constantly falling behind, especially when comparing ourselves to others. In these moments, it’s important to notice the fears that are driving us and focus on the ways we can conquer them rather than letting them conquer us. In fact, understanding our fears may be the best place to start when it comes to understanding others. Logan is insistent on creating space to listen to others, regardless of their position relevant to her because she knows that she will always learn something new. This is what makes us stronger people. When we listen and understand, we create possibilities. When we create possibilities, we succeed.
