About this episode
Ken Rusk is a blue collar entrepreneur, bestselling author of "Blue Collar Cash," and a passionate advocate for purpose-driven living. Starting his career digging ditches at 15, Ken transformed his hands-on work ethic into a multi-million dollar business, demonstrating that success doesn’t require a suit and tie. With a mission to reshape America’s views on blue collar success and financial freedom, Ken mentors others in visualizing their goals, building wealth, and finding comfort, peace, and freedom—both in life and at work. His approach is grounded, visionary, and deeply committed to helping others climb their own mountain of success. Takeaways: Visualizing Success Is Essential: Ken emphasizes the transformative power of clear, detailed visualization for personal and professional goals. Translating dreams into vivid images and actionable plans is a crucial first step to actually making them happen. Blue Collar Work Can Be a Path to Wealth and Fulfillment: Ken breaks the myth that blue collar jobs are less fulfilling or financially rewarding than white collar roles. In fact, blue collar careers often bring more control, satisfaction, and opportunity. Giving Back Multiplies Success: Both Ken and Mick highlight the importance of generosity—not just financially, but with time and effort. Giving back, Ken believes, not only helps others, but often leads to more blessings and satisfaction in your own life. Sound Bites: "The more you give, the more you are blessed with. And I don't know why that is, but it just is." "If you keep saying, 'I've never done this before, but if I did,' you start to imagine the process—and pretty soon, you’ve already built the skyscraper in your mind." "When you can get your corporate goals aligned with people's personal dreams, that’s where the synergy happens. That’s when you really start to move your company forward." Quote from Mick: "If you want to build a winning culture, you better celebrate a win. I don’t care how small or big it is."
