0:00.0 | Hey, it's the way I heard it. I'm Mike Row, and my guest today is Ken Coleman. Who's Ken Coleman, |
0:08.0 | you may ask? You've probably heard him. If you flick around the radio from time to time, he's been out there forever. |
0:14.5 | He's a friend of Dave Ramsey's. I've known Dave for years. I've been interviewed by Ken three or four times, and he promised |
0:22.2 | to return the favor, Chuck, next time he was in L.A. I said, realistically, Ken, are you ever in |
0:28.2 | L.A.? And he said, no. So I said, well, again, this means you're going to have to fly to |

1:12.6 | trusted voice in this space. And full disclosure, and I told him this to his face the first time |
1:18.7 | we met. I don't, I'm ambivalent about books that proclaim to have a secret or a strategy or some universal approach to living. |
1:31.1 | Because I just fundamentally think that cookie cutter advice is, well, it's cookie cutter. |
1:37.4 | It just doesn't apply to a lot of people. |
1:39.9 | But he's really good at this. |
1:42.1 | And what he does doesn't feel cookie cutter at all. |
1:45.3 | Because it's not. |
1:46.2 | It's very personalized. |
