Hello Reader, I need to focus on other stuff. Welcome back to the crash out. As you may know i've been crashing out and using Life with Ken as a medium to process through it. It started almost a month ago when I burnt out from working. I usually try to avoid burning out but it's hard for me for more reasons than one. I hate whining on my platform, but for the sake of the crash out, essentially I'm doing too much stuff and the stuff that I am doing is unfulfilling. The reality is in some...

Hello Reader, I feel good going into this week. I was spending a lot of time bogged down by things but now I have re-adjusted my focus. Not everything that is important requires immediate action. One of my many shortcomings I feel, is that when I start something it can be difficult for me to stop until I finish. The feeling of finishing is satisfying. What's additionally satisfying is getting to start something else without still having something left undone. I'm going to New Jersey in a...

Hey Reader, So, I burnt out last week. Everything came to a halt. Virtually by Wednesday I had no gas left in the tank. I am sorry to say that I don't want to do this anymore. But, I am going to continue to do so. Here's why: If I Stop Life with Ken I Silence Myself - This endeavor was conceived on financial health and wealth generation, and on giving myself a voice. Back when I started this I didn't care who was listening because I understood that probably no one was. No one was really...

Hello Reader, Ever since we've decoupled world news from this newsletter, it's been a bit of a challenge for me to find my footing. Part of it is I'm putting pressure on myself to deliver the best product possible. What's good is, I know what I want to do and we now have the space to do it; so, when we're ready to do what we want it will hopefully be done at a high level and with preparation. Growing can come in different forms but capacity is also important, and having room for your growth....

Hello Reader! I am happy to have had last week to allow myself to rejuvenate. I hope you were able to find rest as well. Over the course of last week, I found out that a friend and a family member are both getting married one day after the other. I'm only mentioning this because it's been heavy to contemplate. I"m just a little discouraged by the rate at which things can happen. Sometimes you can be aware of and or expect something, and still not be prepared for when that thing manifests;...

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...

Hello Reader, I've said this in a different context before, however, since publishing Get Your Mind Right i've experienced clarity like I haven't before. I want to get past this point, but right now I am still processing and figuring out how to process the reality that I was gaslit for a significant portion of my youth. I don't want to peel back those layers in this way but you may be able connect with is that outside of a disability, there is nothing wrong with you. People, places, and...
