    #56 ”You have to always go 100!” Brady Cox The extreme sport flying, mudd bogging machine self taught master mechanic entrepreneur

    This one was a special one for me. Brady has been someone I have know from High school and we have walked in a lot of smilier paths and I just knew that it would be a good time. This man has done so many things and whatever it has been he has done it 100!  He gives massive perspective that will help you gain motivation to pursue things with an energy that gives you traction while getting a ton of joy while doing it.  We dig deep into what it takes to have fun learning again. We grow up in a society that really burns us out on learning and Brady has found a way to make that learning a passion that has led to massive joy in what he is doing and making a living while doing it and if you ask me. I can not think of a more admiral and impressive feat in this current day an age.  The meaning of life is to enjoy the passing of time and there are many nuggets in this one that I really think you will enjoy.

    #55 Dan Redfield When a door closes a window opens. Dan share’s his story and the mindset he has forged along the way.

    I have to first say how grateful I am to have Dan on my podcast and to call this man a friend. His journey and what he has overcame is hard to put in words. We go through his amazing background of video and cinematography and his passion for it and what pushes him to create amazing work.  But along the way life packs punches and Dan has had a few stack up along the way and he shares how he went through that process and what came out of it on the other side. He has turned in what I would imagine to be one the greatest pains and made it an amazing purpose that touches so many lives every day.    For anyone that has had hard times you need to take the time and litsen to the incredible mindset and wisdom that this man has to share.

    #52 Nate D is back on Kenversations we go deep in the 3 pillars of Identity, Your Perception and how you create Culture.

    Nate Is just a the most humble human you ever meet. He would never say how he leads 1000's of people to their financial and physical freedom and combat the thing we are all fighting which is aging. Nate has been a dear freind and close mentor of my in the world of leadership and coaching. He has grown and given so much to others and his team. We go deep dive into Identify and how one finds theirs or a process on how to refine it and grow it if you have not found that mission for yourself.  Next we talk about your perception and how to gain the wisdom to have the right filtering process of what to and how to listen to yourself and others.  Lastly we talk about culture. Which is totally a trending topic but given this post Covid pandemic world we live in. It is becoming a true lost art in what everyone needs in their own life, family, friends and work.

    #50 Pam Lloyd The story of the business woman that CRUSHED!

    This one I am SO excited about! Today on Kenversations we had Pam Lloyd on the podcast. She is someone I wanted on here since day 1. She has been someone I have confided in many times in my life of transition.  Just a quick bit about Pam. She has been a lady that has not just climbed the corporate ladder she has Crushed it. So we dig into her story at many different levels and un-pack nuggets of gold for you all.  We go into how you need to be thinking and observing the world and environment around you to get to where you are to where you want to be.  Then right at the end in the last 30 minutes we had a complete tangent diving into the education system. Which I was so glad to do given Pam vast knowledge and first hand experience given her teaching back ground and working as a VP at GCI the biggest Alaskan company around. In teaching and tech.  We discuss our perspectives on what is going on currently where some pitfalls are and maybe some different ways to look at it or approach it in the future. I loved this tangent and I cant wait for you to all hear it.
