010. Mentor. My Messy, Unexpected Path to Success & What it Taught Me

Brian

What does success actually look like? Not the Instagram highlight reel. Not the six-figure salary or the flashy milestones. But the kind of success that feels like peace — like coming home.


In this raw and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with my friend Ken — a father, husband, and business owner — who opens up about what it really took to build a life he's proud of.


From a self-described “knucklehead” in his 20s to someone who's now steady, grounded, and grateful, Ken shares his journey plus the lessons he’s learned along the way.


We talk about shame, starting small, dealing with failure, the fear of success, and why true success isn’t about having more.


If you’re in the thick of figuring it all out — career, identity, relationships — this one’s for you.
