Forbes magazine describes his life as, “A story of addiction and recovery. A story of rising above a chaotic childhood. A story of a guy who went from a prison guard to Wall Street to arguably the top over-50 marathoner on he planet.” Ken Rideout’s story is inspiring but he believes he is like everyone else. By focusing on his attitude and maximizing opportunities, he has become incredibly “lucky.” His mindset is involves being consistent, authentic, grateful and willing to admit his anxieties and fears. What makes him so tough? Even when he is scared to do something, he always chooses to, “Just do it scared.”
