What if the life you built isn’t the life that fits you anymore? We sit down with children’s author Ron Kinscherf, who walked away from decades in corporate IT and found unexpected joy crafting stories for kids—sparked by a grandson, an anthill, and a simple what if. 

His journey blends creativity, faith, and a quiet courage to follow what feels true, even when the path looks nothing like your résumé.

Ron shares how a single observation turned into an entire ant colony with a wise queen and a curious prince, mirroring the communities we live in and the emotions we navigate. We talk about ego versus soul, the pressure to chase traditional success, and the relief that comes from aligning work with calling. 

He opens up about losing his father young, realizing how grief shaped his storytelling, and discovering that the calm, steady queen on the page was a reflection of the mother who led his family. For aspiring authors and creatives, he offers practical insights: gather ideas from everyday life, write to a child’s curiosity, and let the lesson emerge naturally instead of forcing it.
