With Excitement allow me to introduce today's guest Co-founder Korgen Hospitality Group and Author of The Surprise Restaurant Manager, Ken McGarrie. Ken is also the author of the book The Surprise Restaurant Manager. Ken McGarrie is the cofounder of Korgen Hospitality, a nationwide consulting firm dedicated to helping restauranteurs reach their absolute potential with effective leadership and maximum profitability. For the past two decades, he has helmed many successful restaurants, bars, and entertainment-based venues with a relentless focus on anticipatory service, staff empowerment, and attentive hospitality. He has helped launch new concepts and train hospitality leaders throughout the U.S. and Canada. After failing to start an exceptional college band with only average talent, Ken worked as a server/bartender while writing for magazines and newspapers. He started in management the same way that many people do – by surprise. When his GM asked if he would take a set of keys and open the restaurant on occasion, he was suddenly promoted to manager with no training or preparation, like so many others in the industry. Ken went on to open and manage numerous successful restaurants and entertainment venues. With Korgen Hospitality, he has an exceptional client list, including helping open over a dozen restaurants with Celebrity Chef Fabio Viviani nationwide.

Dr Ken Berry has been hugely influential in my life, and my husbands life. We have both following him and learnt from him over the years, and have both seen the huge health improvements because of that. I hope you enjoy this chat I had with Dr Ken. From Dr Ken Berrry... "Unlike most doctors, I love questions and ideas from you… I used to be a fat, miserable, ignorant doctor, until I slowly discovered the power of removing the slow-poisons of the standard diet, and replacing them with the nourishment of a proper human diet… I am a Board Certified Family Physician and Fellow in The American Academy of Family Physicians. I have been practicing Family Medicine in rural Tennessee for over a decade, and have seen over 20,000 patients in my career so far. No big medical words here, just plain talk you can use to stay healthy and happy. If you like it limp-wristed and sugar-coated then you should probably look somewhere else. I’ll explain how you can use your diet and your lifestyle to get the health you want. Videos about the low-carb/ketogenic/carnivore diets, intermittent fasting, thyroid health, hormone optimization and much more. I’ve declared all-out war on the epidemics of hyperinsulinemia, diabetes and obesity currently hurting our world, and hurting your health.

Have you ever felt frustrated by money? Most of us have. Maybe you feel like you’re not paid enough, or there’s barely enough to cover your expenses, or your bills seem unmanageable. Whatever the case, my guest today can help you develop a healthier relationship with money. Ken Honda is known as the “Zen Millionaire” in Japan, and he’s written a new book called Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money, which describes how to create what Ken calls a healthy flow of money. It was great to learn more about Ken’s philosophy of money, and how it relates to our beliefs, fears, insecurities, and aspirations. Topics we explored together included: What it means to think of money as energy that can carry different emotions depending on how it was exchanged What our relationship with money can reveal about broader issues in our lives The hurts we carry related to money How realistic financial limitations early in life might affect our beliefs later on Money as a potential excuse for not pursuing one’s dreams Why our dream of “financial security” is an illusion The strong tendency to increase our spending when our income goes up The status and standing we attach to income and possessions What’s we can actually control related to money The reasons for our fears about money The strong association we make between money and survival Relationships as the best investment for security The myth of scarcity versus an abundance mindset How to arigato (appreciate) your money Compulsive savers and other approaches to money What underlies our fear of running out of money The value of money EQ (emotional intelligence) over money IQ Finding your right “container size” for money Common negative beliefs about money Tendency of couples to have opposite views on money The fundamental principles of creating a happy flow of money Ken mentioned Wahei Takeda, the "Warren Buffett of Japan"; here's a book based on his ideas: Maro Up: The Secret to Success Begins with Arigato: Wisdom from the “Warren Buffet of Japan.” And here's the link to Ken's most recent book, which to my knowledge is his first book in English: Happy Money: The Japanese Art of Making Peace with Your Money. (A percentage of each purchase made through these affiliate links will be used to support the podcast, at no additional cost to you.) Ken Honda is a bestselling author of self-development books in Japan, where he’s sold more than 7 million books over the past two decades.

Ken is the first person from Japan to be voted into the Transformational Leadership Council. He’s fluent in Japanese and English, and currently lives in Tokyo. Find Ken online at his website.
