A New Week is a New Chance to Be Better


Hey Reader,

Show up. Every day. At work, at home, with you family, for you kids, for yourself; show up. I admit its easier said than done and sometimes expectations are better than realty. The difference between you, the person you want to be, and the person who wants to be like you, is how often you show up and give 100% regardless of anything else.

Ken's Takes and Commentary

We've been in transition for about a month with respect to this newsletter. I've decided to "democratize" my takes and commentary on current events. It's been helpful mainly because it reduces production time for the newsletter and allows for me to cover more content in a more timely fashion. It also gives me and Life with Ken more credibility overall. The one draw back from doing my news takes outside of this newsletter is that it's not archived and I like the idea of world building and being able to effectively refer back to certain information. To that end, I've created a new page on the Life with Ken main website, under the "Media" tab, where you can see an archive of all my X threads on interesting news stories. I hope you enjoy and capitlize on having access to content in this way and as we finish this transition be sure to give feedback to help us continue to optimize our offerings.

Encouragement For Your Week

This week i want to encourage you to not over think things. I can be an over thinker sometimes. You take one scenario go three or four different directions with it and before you know it you're in a rabbit hole trying to figure out how you can go off grid; or you've thought yourself into a depression doom cycle. You've got to try to strike a balance where you are serious and considerate enough of and for your future, while at the same time being present enough where what's on your agenda for today is sufficient responsibility. I have found that sometimes the expectations of today can make you worry about your future. You may say, "i'm not doing enough" or "is this going to make a difference" or "same ole same ole" or "things will never change." If your responsibilities for today don't give you hope for tomorrow find something before the day is over that will. Also, don't forget to eat and sleep because maybe you're just a little cranky.

For more content throughout the week join us on Substack and follow us on your favorite social media platforms. Feel free contact me by responding to this email or by filling out our contact us form.

Have a blessed week!

All the best,

Ken

Hey Reader, I don't know how often this happens but it happens often enough for me to talk about it. Every once and a while I have an existential crisis with respect to doing this work. I place a high expectation on myself because despite certain limitations I know I have the capacity and ability to excel. When I feel like i'm not excelling it makes me want to give up. I rather not try or stop trying than to only be able to achieve mediocrity. I know things take time and I should practice...

June 30, 2025 Life with Ken Weekly Newsletter

Hello Reader, Don't forget to check us out on X (twitter) where I exclusively post my commentary on current events outside of dedicated content. We made this transition a couple of weeks ago and it's working well. There are some more logistics I want to work out but otherwise this is the direction we are on in this regard for the foreseeable future.

Hello Reader, I want to briefly talk about scaling. scaling is a term commonly used in business and simply refers to increasing your capacity to do more. When you scale, or come to scale, or are at scale you are doing the most you can with the resources you have for a specific purpose. Essentially you are meeting demand when scaling is done right. When scaling is done wrong you are wasting resources. This is because scaling is meant to be accommodating. But if you have nothing to accommodate...
