Today, we’re sitting down with Ken Stoddart – a man who had it all on the outside: globe-trotting cybersecurity executive, IronMan finisher, the kind of success most people chase their whole lives.But underneath, a quieter war was raging – addiction, shame, and the kind of pain that almost took everything.He hit rock bottom… then chose to rise differently. He walked away from the corporate world to guide others through their darkest chapters with his coaching practice, IronMind Advisors.And just when he thought he was stepping into his true purpose… life threw the hardest punch yet: a prostate cancer diagnosis.Instead of breaking him, Ken is using it to show the world that surrender isn’t weakness – it’s where real strength begins.This isn’t just a story of survival. It’s proof that our deepest wounds can become our greatest gifts… if we have the courage to face them.About the channel.On The Contributors Channel, you can learn how to start and grow your business, invest in crypto, generate passive income, and build wealth.Subscribe for all new updates https://www.youtube.com/c/thecontributors/videos?sub_confirmation=1 Victor Gichun is the Creator and Host of The Contributors Channel, and a co-founder of Excess Logic, the #1 Nationwide Reverse Logistics Provider.
