In today's Friday fun episode, Ken dives into a belief that could be holding you back in your career and life: the idea that “people like me can’t do that” or “it doesn’t work for me.” Ken challenges this limiting mindset and explores how our subconscious can keep us stuck in inertia, convincing us we can’t achieve our goals or dreams.

Instead of shutting down possibilities with “I can’t,” Ken encourages listeners to shift their mindset to curiosity by asking, “I wonder how?” This simple change opens up new pathways and opportunities, whether you’re looking for a new job, a better boss, or a more fulfilling life. Ken also highlights the importance of believing in yourself and taking risks—reminding us that it’s often better to be “wrong and happier” than “right and miserable.”
