“Clarity breeds confidence; confidence breeds courage.” — Ken Coleman
Before he became the host of the “EntreLeadership” podcast and “The Ken Coleman Show” on SiriusXM, Ken Coleman aspired to a career in politics. However, he soon discovered he could impact the lives of more people through media and communication than he could in office. In this episode, Brian interviews Ken to learn more about his story.

He shares the three essential questions to ask to help you discover your purpose, the connection between your talent and passion and how to find your “sweet spot.” Whether you’d like to refine your purpose or you’d like to figure out what it is, you don’t want to miss this episode.
