About Kevin Howard
Kevin Howard, an executive at Charter Communications and a certified public accountant, has been active as a podcaster and public speaker. In November 2025, he released the ninth episode of his podcast "Breadcrumbs," titled "Why Finding Truth is Essential." In the episode, Howard discussed concepts of shared humanity, agency, and co-creating reality through the direction of energy. He stated that "reciprocity — when we treat people well they're inclined to treat us well" should be applied to how one evaluates leaders and narratives. Howard also said he wrote a book in his 50s and described feeling empty after achieving material success, stating, "I woke up one day in that big house... and it meant nothing to me." In a separate episode, Howard discussed geopolitical topics, including World War II, the Soviet Union, and the September 11 attacks. He said that "the greatest betrayal in world history at the national level was making the Soviet Union America's enemy at the end of World War II" and that "the notion of a forever war is an enemy that never ends." Howard also commented on the military-industrial complex, stating that "you're creating enemies, not because they need to be enemies, but because you need enemies because they're good for business." In October 2025, Howard appeared on a podcast for the Maryland Association of CPAs, where he described accounting as a "helping profession" and said that "one of the great skills in this business is keeping one's mouth shut, appropriately." In April 2025, he was inducted into the University of Miami Sports Hall of Fame, where he thanked his family and coaches and said that "the minute I arrived on campus, I felt a winning culture."
