"Google Owns You" — Why Ken Cox Is Building the Anti-Big-Tech Platform


Listen Later

In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we sit down with Ken Cox — president of River City Internet Group, host of the award-winning Clicks and Bricks podcast, and founder of InLink, a radically human-centered business platform designed to empower solopreneurs.

Ken shares the highs, lows, and hard truths of entrepreneurship — from building data centers to launching boxing gyms, losing millions, and coming back stronger.

💡 Why per-user pricing and tech lock-in are crushing small businesses

🔐 What real data privacy means — and why Google and Amazon aren’t offering it

🛠️ How InLink offers enterprise-grade CRM, hosting, and AI tools at a price solopreneurs can actually afford

💬 Why most startup ideas won’t survive contact with customers — and why that’s OK

💥 The brutal reality of losing $4M and a cofounder — and what it taught him about resilience

If you’re a founder, freelancer, or operator who wants to win without selling your soul (or your data), this is a must-listen.
