In this episode of The Legendary Podcast, host Celinne Da Costa sits down with King Kato, transformational leader and founder of the Authentic Intelligence system. From feeling unseen and unworthy as a child to embodying kingship and purpose, Kato shares the powerful inner work that led him to reclaim his identity and step into his mission.

He opens up about his first life-changing experience at Burning Man, how grief over losing his father shaped his path, and what it means to live in alignment with your values. This conversation is a masterclass in authenticity, self-mastery, and sacred leadership.

Whether you're on your own path of self-discovery or simply curious about the transformational power of community, ritual, and deep reflection—this episode will speak to your soul.
