🎧 When your business collapses, your health is on the line, and your relationships fray — how do you rebuild? Ken Cox did it with grit, humor, and a boxing glove.

John Suzuki sits down with Ken Cox — founder of River City Internet Group and inlink.com — to unpack a life that’s equal parts chaos and comeback. From growing up in hardship, to early success in web hosting, to near-bankruptcy and a life-threatening health wake-up call, Ken shares the messy, human story behind resilience. We talk sobriety, the healing power of community and structure, why he learned to laugh at himself, and how teaching kids in a boxing gym helped him find purpose again.

Inside this conversation, you’ll learn: How Ken’s early tech and film background shaped his entrepreneurial path. The contract and growth story that led to exploding success — and the lessons from a sudden collapse. Why Ken refused to “walk away” from customers and how that choice reshaped his life and business. The role of boxing, routine, and community in recovery and mental clarity. How teaching kids helped Ken find meaning and led to a new business model and purpose. Practical tactics Ken used to stop drinking and rebuild relationships and health. How to hold space for both seriousness and humor while owning hard chapters of life.

💡 Key Takeaways: Own your story — transparency and humor help transform trauma into wisdom. Small, consistent disciplines (an hour a day) rebuild brain and life routines. Community & service (teaching kids) can be a pathway from survival to purpose. At the end of the day, it’s not about the fall — it’s about how you fight your way back. Ken Cox reminds us that rebuilding starts with humility, humor, and heart. 🥊
