Details

UPBEAT with Parker Kane is a personal growth podcast about voice, identity, and alignment for creators, leaders, and purpose-driven dreamers building something meaningful without losing themselves. Hosted by Parker Kane, a viral beatboxer, speaker, and podcast host known for his McDonald's beatbox video, UPBEAT is a space to slow down, get honest, and reconnect with your own voice. We talk about faith, creativity, creative expression, alignment, and what it looks like to stop performing for approval and start living in a way that actually feels true. If you've felt burned out, off-track, or disconnected from yourself while still driven and dreaming—and you've dealt with things like burnout, ADHD, anxiety, or identity loss—you're not broken and you're not alone. This podcast is for you. UPBEAT is a checkpoint. A place to reset, refocus, and move forward with intention. Being UPBEAT is a choice. To stay hopeful. To own your story. To protect your voice. And to build something real without losing yourself in the process. The world doesn't need a louder version of you. It needs the real one. If this resonates, start with the latest episode and see where it takes you. New episodes weekly Hosted by Parker Kane
