Wabi Sabi - The Perfectly Imperfect Podcast with Candice Kumai

Candice Kumai

Booking Overview

A primarily solo-expert wellness show focused on Japanese food and culture, nutrition, beauty, fitness, longevity, and self-acceptance, with occasional high-profile external interviews. The clearest pitch candidates are prominent athletes and public figures with compelling personal stories or credible connections to wellness, food, fitness, or Japanese culture; booking is likely difficult because the recent external guest is a recognizable NBA player and guest appearances appear selective.
