Ken's book offers fascinating story on building a truly unique, nontraditional career that has culminated into him serving as the CEO of the George W. Bush Center. His book touches on key inflection moments for both his career and personal life, and reading this book feels like talking to your close bud on how to navigate life. "Yellow lights don't turn green" and "every plant needs to be repotted" offer poignant takeaways that I've found myself applying to my everyday life, whether it's on dates or fundraising pitches. Ken shows us how it's advantageous for us to consider zagging when others are zigging, and the warmth that pours from the book's conversational tone makes for a read that's instructive, entertaining, and resonant.
The podcast chronicles the life of fitness fanatic Richard Simmons, capturing an incredible story of a man who moved to Los Angeles and became synonymous with fitness 80s culture. The first person to really break the mold that fitness looks differently across body types, Richard showed America how to sweat to the oldies. The podcast also shows different layers to Richard, while offering how evolving business models and media platforms (from broadcast to cable to streaming) have grown his fan base and how younger audiences are discovering a trailblazing icon.
I love and recommend Working Girl because it showcases the American Dream and 80s Joan Cusack hair. The story follows a woman who follows her instincts and intellectual curiosity to overcome systemic barriers. Plus, Carly Simon sings the opening credits song.
