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, 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...

Hello Reader, Spring Break Recap We are back from spring break! The last two months have been delightfully refreshing. There are few better ways to prevent burnout than to stop and take a break. This year we took time for R&R and to make some improvements to the experience we offer. We've been promoting becoming a founding member as well because founding members on our Substack get continuous content year round, despite any time off we may take. All in all we're ready to continue providing...
