Episode Synopsis
Send us a textThis is a podcast where I talk to my guests about their journey to success. We talk about their education, experience, current business, and future endeavours. A feature length episode with Ken Rusk, who is an author, entrepreneur, and blue-collar advocate. This is something a bit different and I loved the conversation. Ken talks about his early years with his marine father and his need for money led him to odd jobs to fund his dreams. We talk about how blue-collar skills have been lost in the education system, which is a shame. Ken tells an awesome story where he planned to buy a Porsche in 7 years and with visual manifestation, he was able to buy the car. We talk about the skill of creating things that help us in life. Ken is passionate about helping his employees to attain their goals without creating a lot of debt on credit cards. Ken’s risk tolerance is high, and this is reflected in his business decisions. He plans goals and builds his life around attaining these goals. I loved this conversation and lots of goals can be attained without creating lots of debt, this is beautifully old-fashioned.
