Real English Conversations: Amy Whitney & Curtis Davies - English Podcast
About this episode

In this episode of the Real English Conversations Podcast, Curtis gets personal with a special guest, his older brother, Kevin Davies.

Kevin is a car-loving, bone-breaking, always-building kind of guy. As an electrician and lifelong project junkie, he brings stories of growing up in Canada surrounded by tools, dirt bikes, and trial-and-error learning, the kind that builds real resilience.

They Talk about:

  • How fixing cars and building things teaches confidence and problem-solving
