Show Notes:

I am beyond excited about this episode. We talk with Ken Coleman about all the things we try to teach on this show such as proximity, environment, your tribe, and relationship capital. He is truly an expert in all of these things.

Ken is the host of the radio show The Ken Coleman Show, and the best-selling author of the book The Proximity Principle, which lays out the strategy on how to get you into a career you’ll love. He gives you tangible, practical steps to discover what you are born to do.

Ken tells us his story about when he felt stuck and unfulfilled, despite having a good job and career that provided for his family. He goes into detail into how he did it, and how you can do it too.
