KEN COLEMAN
Now, I'll admit, I hadn't been familiar with his work until Ramsey Solutions reached out to me about his new book, Proximity Principle, but after doing some research and learning more about him, I truly understand how well this guy knows his stuff and how powerful a resource he can be for any man who is trying to get ahead in his career and build something meaningful and significant in his life.
Ken is an author, a career expert, and a member of Ramsey Solutions where he frequently co-hosts the Dave Ramsey Show.
I really enjoyed this conversation and I have no doubt you will too. And, more importantly, I know you'll get a ton out of it.
IRON COUNCIL
Gents, let me talk with you about the "Wild Man" for a minute. The Wild Man is the man inside that we've either silenced or allowed society to silence for far too long.
And, it's the part of us that we need to learn to let out of the cage more often. He is our competitive, aggressive, dominant, and wild nature and, in the right circumstances and context can be used as a powerful force for growth and expansion in our lives. But, most of us have allowed ourselves to be domesticated for too long and have shut down the very elements that give us a competitive advantage.
That's why we're talking about the Wild Man inside our exclusive brotherhood, the Iron Council this month. We're discovering how to acknowledge, explore, and unlock him within ourselves and tap back into the masculine roots we've bound and chained at the systematic conditioning of society.
And, on top of the discussions, we're challenging ourselves (500 men) to push harder and further than we have for years with the goal of accomplishing huge things in our lives.
