On this episode, I sit down for an inspiring conversation with Ken Miller, whose story is both moving and full of hope. Ken is an author, speaker, and resilience coach who has faced just about every challenge life can throw at a person. Growing up in foster care and later experiencing a turbulent family life, Ken went from being a promising Ivy League student to living on the streets and spending years behind bars. His journey through addiction and life on the streets is not something he hides. Instead, Ken shares it openly because he believes owning your story is the first step in moving forward.Throughout the episode, Ken talks about how he found his way out of that dark place by getting real with himself. He shares that telling yourself the truth is essential, even when it's painful. Ken also shares how big a role forgiveness played in his healing process. Ken makes it clear that forgiveness isn't just for the people who have hurt you, but also for yourself. We reflect on the idea that everyone's journey is different, and that there's no set timetable for feeling better after hitting rock bottom. Ken reveals that for him, becoming whole again took years, but it started with a little step, including getting outside his pain, finding supportive people to talk to, and learning to quiet the negative self-talk.We also highlight how important it is not to compare your pain or struggles to someone else's. No matter what you've gone through, your feelings are real and valid. Ken's message is simple: you have value and are worthy of a better future. Even if you're carrying a lot of pain or regret, you can begin again, and sometimes helping others or reaching out for support is what helps you most. Ken's book, Becoming Ken, weaves these lessons together, offering hope that, with honesty, a willingness to face the truth, and the courage to keep going, it is possible to transform your life one step at a time.About the Guest:Ken Miller is a powerful speaker, author, and resilience coach who helps people overcome adversity by embracing truth, courage, and self-worth. After battling addiction and hitting rock bottom, Ken rebuilt his life with honesty and purpose—and now shares that hard-won wisdom to inspire others. With a background in nonprofit leadership and a deep commitment to recovery and transformation, Ken speaks from experience, not theory. His story is raw, real, and deeply human, resonating with audiences who are ready to face their own struggles and rise stronger. On stage and behind the mic, Ken delivers more than inspiration—he offers practical tools, mindset shifts, and a path to lasting change. Whether speaking about addiction, authenticity, or the power of resilience, Ken connects with listeners profoundly, reminding them that no matter how far they've fallen, there's always a way forward—starting with the truth.To connect with Ken:Website: www.kenmillerspeaks.com Personal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ken.miller.10420321 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thekenmillerspeaks/ Personal LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenmiller84/About the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Now, he shares his journey to inspire others to rise above their past, embrace their true identity, and build lives of purpose. Ken believes it's never too late to rise, rebuild, and thrive. Ken Miller's journey is a testament to the power of resilience, redemption, and choice. Born into challenging circumstances, Ken rose to become a National Merit Scholar and an Ivy League graduate, but a spiral of addiction and poor decisions led him to the streets, homelessness, and incarceration. After years in a cycle of regret and hardship, Ken faced a turning point: he made the decision to rebuild his life. Released from prison with nothing but a small box of belongings and $28, Ken committed to a path of positive choices, resilience, and authenticity. Today, he is a successful consultant, speaker, and mentor, dedicated to inspiring others to embrace their true identity and make choices that lead to a fulfilling life.

Jack's experience as a drone pilot and engineer before the conflict allowed him to step into the front lines of the Russo-Ukrainian war. But it's what Jack saw during a Russian artillery bombardment of Ukrainian forces that led to a new understanding of the conflict: the Ukrainian military needs better EW tools to do the job.To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.We also invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at host@fromthecrowsnest.org.

John Hosey, Chief of Cyber and Commandant of Army Cyber School, tells Ken that the Army began producing soldiers with cyber training in 2008 – very new in the military world. He says one of their points of focus now is to improve the ability of the Army to reprogram their kit to change their tactics, techniques and procedures (TTPs) as threats evolve.Col. Leslie Gorman explains to Ken that her role as the Army Capability manager for EW is to help the Army, as a retired general officer told her last year, “own the EMS like [the Army] owned the night in the 1980s.” Col. Gorman says their push now is to set the conditions so advanced machine learning and algorithmic-based analytics can set the stage for the future of the Army's EW efforts. To learn more about today's topics or to stay updated on EMSO and EW developments, visit our homepage.We also invite you to share your thoughts, questions, or suggestions for future episodes by emailing host Ken Miller at host@fromthecrowsnest.org.

On this lively episode of Podcast Network Sandbox's “Random Fit,” hosts Wendy Batts and Ken Miller dive into an unexpectedly trendy topic: the health, fitness, and environmental benefits of seaweed. Inspired by Wendy's son's curiosity at the grocery store, the duo unpacks everything you never knew you wanted to know about this ocean-grown superfood. Wendy and Ken kick things off by discussing seaweed's booming industry—did you know seaweed farming is growing at 7% annually and requires no pesticides or fresh water? Ken brings his personal experiences to the table, sharing his love for seaweed salad and its popularity across Asian cultures, while Wendy, ever the skeptic, admits she's still on the fence with the flavor. Beyond the taste debate, the co-hosts highlight seaweed's impressive nutritional profile. Rich in vitamins A, C, E, K, and B-complex, as well as vital minerals like calcium and magnesium, seaweed offers much more than a crunchy snack. The conversation explores its cardiovascular, digestive, and metabolic benefits, making a compelling case for fitness professionals and health enthusiasts alike. But it's not all rainbows: Ken cautions listeners to be mindful of sourcing due to potential ocean contaminants. Plus, they share practical tips and meal ideas for integrating seaweed into your diet—whether you're a foodie or a reluctant first-timer. Tune in for a fun, informative journey that might make you rethink your next snack run—and discover why seaweed might just deserve a place in your healthy lifestyle toolbox!

If there's one key piece of advice I'd give to anyone in business or entrepreneurship, it's to beware of the tyranny of the now—the intense pressure of immediate problems like a lost contract, a team member leaving, or an unexpected crisis. These challenges feel overwhelming in the moment, but they are temporary. Don't let short-term pain lead to emotional decisions that could harm your long-term vision. Instead, stay focused on why you started—your original dream, belief, and purpose. The present will pass, but your future is still in your hands. Handle the moment, but don't let it define you.

From the Streets to Significance: Ken's Incredible Journey of Redemption In this powerful episode, I sit down with Ken—a remarkable individual whose life journey redefines perseverance, transformation, and the human spirit. Born into hardship as the son of a teenage runaway and a pimp in New York City, Ken's early years were marked by instability, foster care, and adoption. Despite earning his way to Dartmouth and achieving academic success, he faced a decades-long battle with addiction, homelessness, and multiple felony convictions. But Ken's story doesn't end in darkness. In September 2024, he proudly celebrated 20 years of sobriety. Now a thriving business owner, Ken channels his energy into uplifting others and paying it forward. The Turning Point: Choosing Growth Over a Life Sentence Ken opens up about his time in prison, sharing a raw and honest perspective on the prison system, recovery, and the choices that can change everything. He identifies three common paths among inmates and the pivotal mindset shift that ultimately saved his life. During his third incarceration, Ken committed to rebuilding every part of himself—mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually. That commitment led him to a halfway house, a dedicated sponsor, and the intentional decision to reconnect with society in a meaningful way. "Becoming Ken": A Story of Hope, Healing, and Humanity Ken's book, Becoming Ken, is more than a memoir—it's a blueprint for transformation. We dive into the book's core themes: understanding personal motivation, embracing pain as a teacher, and the critical importance of self-awareness and growth. Writing this book was no small feat, and Ken's transparency about the process is both inspiring and empowering for anyone facing life's hard chapters. Hard Truths, Bold Choices, and a Call to Action Ken and I also unpack the importance of courage in making life-altering decisions. He reminds us that pain isn't something to avoid—it's something to navigate. And when you face it head-on, healing becomes possible. Ken urges listeners to seek support, make bold choices, and above all, give back. His book launch is right around the corner, and he welcomes anyone who wants to learn more or connect directly.
