In this episode, I speak with Ken Rusk, a bestselling author, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker who defied odds by achieving WSJ Bestseller status with his book "Blue-Collar Cash," even during the pandemic's challenges. He hosts the podcast "Comfort, Peace & Freedom," where he imparts wisdom on personal and professional fulfillment. Ken's impactful course "The Path to a Successful Life" empowers individuals to overcome obstacles and create their own success stories.

Ken's entrepreneurial flair shines as the founder of Rusk Industries, a growing portfolio of construction companies with revenue above nine figures. Collaborating with notable figures like Tony and Jairek Robbins, Tucker Carlson, and Evander Holyfield, Ken is actively shaping future American leaders. Committed to giving back, he supports organizations like Make a Wish, Tunnel to Towers, and Ronald McDonald House and he teaches at Boys and Girls Clubs and Junior Achievement.
