The Grateful Podcast with Jack Wagoner Episode 155He runs a company with 250 people. Every Monday morning he plans his workouts and his family time before he plans a single hour of work. Ken Rusk started digging ditches at 15 through a hole in his high school fence, opened franchises across the Midwest before he was 23, and built his own company from six employees to 250. He has never worn the 80 hour week as a badge of honor, and he explains exactly why the people who do end up with the least to show for it.We go deep on the two mentors who taught him what a good life looks like, the object on his kitchen counter that keeps him grateful without any effort, the reason letting go of control is the only way to actually get control, and the specific question you can ask a stranger tomorrow that tells you exactly what business your town needs.If you have ever felt like you are winning at work and losing everywhere else, this one is for you.⏰ TIMESTAMPS0:00 — He Made It To The Peak.
