Knowing Better is More Valuable When You're Doing Better


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 to live by? Like from a practical perspective why would you let something go if you are a affectionate for it? I guess it's similar to "die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain." Some of these idioms and or cultural phrases I don't fully know, and can feel ignorant about that; but also just because it's wildly believed or repeated doesn't mean it makes sense. I'm not saying it's not wise, but wisdom to me, at least to a certain degree, makes sense.

Here's an article where I explore some of these ideas from a different perspective:

Sometimes the best way to demonstrate affection is to do so in a way that says that you care but you’re also not devastated over or overly committed to a certain way of doing things, from either side. Being able to let go can be a strong representation of love or a similar feeling because it shows acceptance, stability, and confidence that places well-being over preference; particularly when preference isn’t helpful.

Encouragement for your Week

This Week I want to encourage you that you can do anything you put your mind to. I could talk about neuroplasticity, creating new synapses, growth mindset, abundance, so on and so forth. it's about knowing something or know how something works. Eventually if you're serious about something, it's about putting the rubber to the road. Put your mind to things that are worth doing to you, and suspend your unbelief to receive what it is you want to do most. Also be exposed to new things to know what's possible.

You can get in contact with me by responding to this email or by filling out this form.

Have an impassioned week!

All the best,

Ken

Hello Reader, They say you meet the same faces in different places. Or that the higher you go the similar it gets. There are the same mindsets and the same archetypes of people on every level. Ambition isn't enough. You could be willing to go the distance but there will always be someone telling you how far you can go. This experience looks different for everyone and can have a slew of mitigating factors; but ultimately, this is one of the roads towards radicalism. But even becoming...

Hello Reader, I am basically in end of the year mode. There are still almost two full months left on the calendar and I am not taking my foot off the gas, but at the same time, I am beginning to consider what 2026 is going to be like. There were a lot of things that we did well this year as a business. I am excited to build on my progress, that said, and as you know, the last couple months have been a challenge so I am also considering how I can make this experience more sustainable for me as...
