The Complete Man

Imagine being dyslexic and told that your struggle with reading and writing would prevent you from ever achieving your goals. You grew up on a farm, longed for something more, and had your dreams shot down by the very people who are supposed to encourage them.

Imagine coming from that, and going on to be a best selling author, a speaker, a mentor, and a world-recognized leader in your field. That's exactly what happened for Ken Keis. Or rather, what Ken made happen for himself.

Ken is the author of The Quest for Purpose, and today he joins us to discuss:

• How mindset can help you overcome all forms of adversity
• Why even small goals are worth pursuing
• Why upward mobility in the workplace often leaves people feeling less fulfilled
• What to do when your own goals conflict with what your loved ones want for you
• The number 1 thing to look for in a good mentor
• Why spirituality is vital to finding your purpose
• The main character traits that all purpose-driven men have in common
• Why so many leaders get burnt out and give up
• What to do if you don't have a purpose
• And a lot more

Let's face it; as men, we're capable of some pretty awesome stuff.   We forge societies. We run businesses. We build empires. We protect and provide for the ones we love. But we're also capable of some pretty heinous stuff as well.   Most serial killers are men. Most gang members are men. Prisons are filled with men. And most of the world's homeless are men. We tend to gravitate to the extremes. Is there a reason why?   In this week's show, we explore why men seem to be capable of so much good, and so much destruction. We also look at what it takes to change a man from one extreme to the other.   Warning: Some guilty admissions are made. Both of the men in this conversation expose parts of their past that they're not proud of.   Tune in and you'll hear about:

• How society programs men into being criminals
