The podcast I’ve been waiting for since Ken joined Nick Bare on the Bare Performance Podcast a few years back. Keep up the great work, Ken!
I’ve known Ken for 15 years and unlike other podcasts, there’s NO BS to be found here. What I like the most is how he lets his guests be the star of the show, asking questions to tease out the full story. 10/10 for interesting and encouraging motivational content.
