Kenversations with Ken Okonek

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. 

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.

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.

On this weeks episode of Kenversations I have the honor of interviewing Buddy Bailey. The son of Baileys Furniture that was dead set on going out on his own and pursuing a vision he came up with 14 years ago. 

We talk the ups and downs of Buddy success and how he came to found Zo Financial. His ability to be a visionary and his motivation to create a product and company that will have a net win effect on the people all around us. A way for people to get by through tough times but also get the right support and foundation to get better credit and get out of debt and start to have a better relationship with money. 

We talk a lot about what is driving him through the fear and scare of struggles of growing a new business that has had such insane growth in the last 3 years. 

We did deep into the mindset of how you grow a company right. We talk about plenty of things "what not to do" In hope to inspire others and help them where they are struggling. 

Buddy is an incredible leader, husband and Dad and what he is doing is going to have a great impact on his Legacy and those around him. I was grateful to have the time with him that I did.
