    In today's Friday fun episode, Ken dives into a belief that could be holding you back in your career and life: the idea that “people like me can’t do that” or “it doesn’t work for me.” Ken challenges this limiting mindset and explores how our subconscious can keep us stuck in inertia, convincing us we can’t achieve our goals or dreams.

    Instead of shutting down possibilities with “I can’t,” Ken encourages listeners to shift their mindset to curiosity by asking, “I wonder how?” This simple change opens up new pathways and opportunities, whether you’re looking for a new job, a better boss, or a more fulfilling life. Ken also highlights the importance of believing in yourself and taking risks—reminding us that it’s often better to be “wrong and happier” than “right and miserable.”

    Tune in as Ken offers motivational advice to help you break up with self-doubt, believe in your potential, and become truly unstoppable in your path to the life you want. And if you’re ready for one-on-one support, Ken is just a click away at kenwilliamscoaching.com. Let’s kick off the weekend and get inspired to get unstuck!

    This week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Zach—better known as Mr. Mixer—the social media sensation who turned an unlikely passion for KitchenAid mixers into a thriving business. But this conversation goes far beyond kitchen appliances.

    Zach shares his remarkable journey from working as a paramedic to becoming the go-to expert for repairing and restoring vintage mixers, breathing new life into treasured family heirlooms. We dig into the deeper meaning behind Zach’s work, discussing how the humble mixer becomes a vessel for family memories, the challenges of stepping away from a traditional career path, and what it takes to find— and build—your own unique passion.

    If you’ve ever wondered how to reclaim your spark or escape a job that just isn’t lighting you up, this episode is packed with inspiration, candid advice, and a reminder that sometimes, finding your purpose is less about what you fix, and more about who you help.

    This week, we visit with Shiraz, an expert in helping people identify and break through their mental roadblocks. Together, we dive deep into the pervasive fear of what others think—a struggle that Shiraz estimates affects over 95% of people. From personal stories about dressing for approval to unraveling the voices in our heads that shape our identity, Ken and Shiraz explore how these beliefs are formed, why they’re so persistent, and most importantly, practical ways to retrain your mindset.

    Shiraz shares transformative insights into how our internal narratives—often shaped by past experiences, family, and societal expectations—can hold us back, sometimes for decades. But there’s hope: with daily “mental workouts,” you can not only quiet those negative voices but also replace them with encouragement and self-belief. Listen in for Shiraz’s own powerful examples, from overcoming struggles at border crossings to making major business leaps, and learn actionable strategies to start getting unstuck and reclaim control over your career—and your life.
