Biography & Author's Journey
Ken Coleman’s public career is built around reinvention. As a teenager, he imagined a future in politics and expected that path to define his adult life. In his early thirties, however, that ambition gave way to a period of professional uncertainty, and he chose to start over in broadcasting. He did so without a college degree or prior industry credentials, enrolling instead in a six-week broadcast school, working unpaid hours at an Atlanta sports-talk station, covering high school football, and taking small speaking and emcee assignments wherever he could find them. With support from his wife, Stacy, that improvised apprenticeship became the basis of a second act in media, coaching, and authorship. ((https://www.ramseysolutions.com/ken-coleman))
