Unlock Your Full Potential by Doing the Work You Were Wired to Do with Ken Coleman

This week, I sat down with  Ken Coleman . In case you’re unfamiliar, Ken works for one of the biggest, most well-known names in finance—the one and only Dave Ramsey. Not only does Ken co-host with Dave on “The Ramsey Show,” but he also hosts his own show on the Ramsey Network. “The Ken Coleman Show” which focuses on career growth - through finding your mission, passion, and talent. 

Ken has also worked alongside John Maxwell, who is widely recognized as one of the top leadership experts in the world. 

So, as you can imagine, this episode is packed with insights Ken learned from these two icons—like how to step up as a leader, hire top talent and grow beyond being a one-person show. Hearing how Dave scaled his organization and built an all-star team around him was especially interesting. 

Ken’s helped thousands of people figure out what they’re wired to do, make a bigger impact, and win at work and in life. I know you’ll get a ton of value from this conversation—and it’s one your whole team will want to tune into as well.

Doing Business and Doing Life.

In this week’s episode, Ken Coleman shared an incredible story. It’s about how a comment from legendary Duke coach Mike Krzyzewski during his very first interview helped inspire Ken’s podcasting career.

Coach K’s words of encouragement carried a powerful leadership lesson: how a few simple words can inspire actions beyond what you might imagine. That’s exactly what happened with Ken. With that in mind, I wanted to share a short seven-minute interview with Coach K where he talks about his definition of a winner’s mindset. It was recorded shortly after another coaching legend, John Wooden, passed away.

I won’t spoil everything—you’ll want to click the link to catch the full story—but one highlight really stood out. Coach K makes sure every potential basketball recruit at Duke meets his wife and daughters. 

It’s a masterclass in ensuring that every new addition to your “team” aligns with your culture and values. I hope Coach K’s insights inspire you when it comes to leadership and building the right culture.
