Do New Things to Expect New Things


Hey Reader,

Something on my mind that I may explore as content in the coming weeks, is how does one continue life after certain milestones? You're not a kid anymore now what? You're finally married and not single anymore now what? You have tenure at your dream job, now what? Where is the will to continue to live? People tend to say life is short which is a refrain that I don't like to use. That said, if you're blessed, you still get 75-120 years. That's a significant amount of time. What do you do when there is nothing else in your life that you want to do? What are your thoughts on this, feel free to share them with me as they may help shape my position on this subject.

Dynamic Newsletters

Moving forward Life with Ken Newsletters will be less structured. Our newsletter follows a good flow but there are some parts of our newsletter that aren't easily replicated week to week. Additionally, for us to be more effective and impactful some things in our process need to be reconsidered. As of right now we will continue to follow a pattern of acknowledgement, information, weekly encouragement. That said, the trouble that sometimes arrises comes from that information section.

To make things easier and more dynamic and therefore more impactful, and long time subscribers are used to this, but now we are formalizing it. We will be as consistent as possible with our newsletter formula but we will also change things up on occasion as we see fit. One of the biggest examples of this for right now, is that we are doing away with our news section in the newsletter. Instead, news commentary will be focused on our X(twitter) account. Content will be posted by Ken and reposted by Life with Ken as is the case with this story from today on the LA Illegal Immigration Riots:

In this one example of changes that may be made to the newsletter, the benefits of not having to do news stories in the newsletter is that it allows for discussion, gives me more time throughout the day and week to properly prepare content and commentary; and I can do deeper dives without being overbearing. So, hopefully changing our newsletter from something stagnant to more dynamic will allow for the audience to grow and engagement to increase. Additionally the value to you, as a newsletter subscriber, is that you get more integrated in the Life with Ken ecosystem, and can have a more fulfilling experience with our content. Again let me know what you think and how we can continue to improve and make the newsletter better.

Encouragement for Your Week

This week I want to encourage you to take it easy. This season is not your first rodeo. You've been here before. New faces same behaviors. New company same workflow. New relationship similar dynamics to a previous one. Don't act like someone who doesn't know better, because you do know better. Rebuke foolishness. Sometimes the best way to get ahead is to be hands off. Let things work themselves out. Focus on you, focus on being better every day, and focus on operating at a high level. Don't give energy to things that don't need energy from you, let them get their energy elsewhere.

Contact us by responding to this email or here. Follow us on social media for more content throughout the week.

Have a blessed week!

All the best,

Ken

Hello Reader, Sometimes you leave things and sometimes things leave you. Mental, emotional, and material growth are mutually exclusive. Labor Day In recognition of Labor Day there will be no new content published the week of August 31-September 6, 2025. A reminder will be sent next week. Ken's Corner Among the things on my mind today and this week, so far, is the idea of if you love something you should let it go. It's a nice sounding philosophy but what are it's implications and is something...

Hello Reader, Over the weekend I learned about a concept that disturbed me immensely. That concept is "memetic desires." Memetic desires refers to a person's inability to individuate. A memetic desire is when a person takes on the desires of someone else. For example, let's say you have a goal or desire to travel and you tell someone or someone in your sphere of influence catches wind of your desire. all of a sudden that person espouses how they want to travel and go different places, even...

Hello Reader, I apologize for no roundup for last week and for this newsletter coming later in the day. Last week was a bit of a drag and by the time the weekend came not only was I still working on some content, I also had a meeting that I had to go to; which by the time it ended suggested to me that the content I was producing wouldn't have been done justice if I just rushed through it. I will highlight some content in the spotlight section, but first I want to unpack the significance of...
