    Incredibly Helpful
    Ken’s podcast repeatedly reads me my mail! Ken has been invaluable in helping me get into my dream career. Starting in 2020, Ken helped me with his book, The Proximity Principle. With his wisdom & guidance, I finally got clarity, and I am now getting qualified. I’ve also been able to have the clarity & courage to quit a hated day job where I felt stuck. Thank you so much Ken!
  • JonesyCool
    Five stars!

  • StephanieSherie
    Woke me up to what I could be!
    Ken is a fantastic coach.
  • Ruth Medcalf
    Great show
    I enjoy listening to Ken’s program. I especially liked his recent interview with author Mitch Albom. It was insightful and interesting.
  • Beatpulsing
    Great show. Anchoring voice to continually stay focused.
    I’ve listened to Ken since he did Entre Leadership. At that time I was such a bad leader I’m embarrassed to even think of it. Ken’s show then helped me anchor myself to become an effective smart communicator. Since then, I’ve found this show to be a continual kick in the butt to help keep me from straying off track. Nice work, Ken! I really appreciate what you do!

    Ken rules!
    Ken makes me smile when I listen to him. He gives a great perspective on work, life and leadership. I always connect with something he says; and always have great takeaways!!

    Ken needs a reality check
    Says nothing while talking over everyone

    Great show!
    Ken is so good at breaking down big ideas into clear, manageable steps. I am a new listener, but I am enjoying the show so much!

    Emotional Rants - No Facts
    If you’re going to go on a rant about the blue collar revolution, perhaps don’t confuse welding and plumbing. And perhaps don’t suggest everyone is making $300,000 as plumbers and HVAC workers. There are certainly solid, rewarding careers to be had. However, the average salaries are closer to $60-70k a year. It’s a solid career, not a get rich quick scheme like Ken pretends.

    Solid Advice
    I’ve been working through a recent firing and trying to figure out where to go next. The KC Show has been solid for me. I’ve been binging it, Smart Money Happy Hour and The Dave Ramsey Show while driving for DoorDash, and all of them have helped me gain a healthier perspective of my life, my situation, and my relationships. Solid Team, solid advice.
  • Runner and walker
    So inspirational
    If you are feeling that you are in a rut in your job, listen to Ken. Not only will he tell you how to get out of it, but he will make you feel loved.All places of business need a Ken. He should be part of the “human” department. Please add that department to every job that I’ve ever worked in !
  • Treeshine Brother
    Been helpful to listen to
    I’ve been enjoying this podcast!
  • DaveP in LA
    Great and Very Helpful show!
    Ken knows his stuff! I agree with 98& of what he says, On the other 2% I disagree with, at least he gets me thinking and challenges my beliefs. Keep up the great work Ken!

    Captain Obvious
    I want to be VERY clear: some of the things Ken says are worth knowing for all people. Those things alone are worth 2 of the 5 stars. He has this really weird tendency to politicize some career stuff. Lots of weird drops of the calling card only used by 1 political isle. Particularly, insulting the intelligence of Party members without justification and also calling people that have a righteous reaction to an issue “woke” over and over? This was far from the first time I’ve noticed that. I tried to just justify “well that’s just his spin on it” but thinking about it, if that’s leaking into the content in an obvious manner there, it might be subtly leaking into other portions of content. “Nothing is non-political” and etc. Also lots of “you young people” talk so if you’re older and somewhat vindictive against younger generations you’ll feel at home. For me it just rubs me the wrong way. There are free career tests that do what Ken does just as good if not better. There are podcasts and people worth listening to for this niche specifically that fit a lot better than this dude. Look elsewhere if possible.

    Great money podcast
    Very helpful! Also, love listening to Ken on The Ramsey Show!
  • Southsidewhitesoxfan
    In love with the sound of his voice
    I’m going to give it the star it deserves. With all the talent at Ramsey, why waste your time on The Ken Coleman Show.
  • dancemamma
    Love this podcast!
    Ken Coleman’s earnest enthusiasm is immediately engaging and loaded with wisdom. I look forward to listening to each podcast and also re listening to previous episodes. Side note, am I the only one who cracks up when he rattles his paper? Love it when he does that sound effect 🤣
  • Reisdeit
    Steady Stream of Sound Advice
    I love listening to Mr. Coleman’s steady stream of clear thinking and sound advice for jobs an careers.
  • optometrynerd15
    Bring back the archives!
    I love listening to Ken everyday. I was working my way through the podcast on my commute to work and was super upset when the old episodes were taken off. Bring them back please!
  • Gp31grows
    Love the show
    Love listening. Great content! Keep it going!
  • dannyrowan
    Use to be better
    Use to be better. I miss when his episodes were 40-45 long 5 days a week. Now he’s 29, 3 days a week. Not as good as it use to be. Ken, you might end up at a one star review from me soon
  • Altynai Stauss
    Stellar podcast on all things work related!
    Learning about generation Z, work ethic, expectations issue etc. Thanks, Ken! 💎
  • ThymeSunDusk
    Engaging, Insightful, and Challenging
    Love this show! It challenges assumptions I have in an engaging and insightful way. The delivery is precise and captivating, and the information is stimulating and interesting. This show helps me grow - I’m hooked.
  • Ada ny
    Love it!
    I listen to this show almost every day. It really had changed my career perspective for good. Great tips and motivational for career and personal growth.
  • Alebenco
    Too opinionated
    Too much about opinion and too little about facts. Also, the host fails to do basic math on the fly. A callers mentioned he may get 66% short-term disability, and then the hosts says let’s figure out how you can get the remaining 44%. He lost me right there.
  • Pilgrimsurf
    Great but eewww the ending
    I enjoy this great discussion by Ken but my gosh the outro voice is just slitheringly unwelcome and disturbing. Please change.
  • Conn Mel
    What was I waiting for…?!
    I just finished listening to my first episode. Your interview with Jennifer Cohen and I truly enjoyed the whole interview interaction and just flow. I will continue listening to it thank you very inspirational and just enjoyable.!
  • JG Wentworth 877 CASHNOW
    This guy gives me THE JUICE
    You heard it here folks. Great advice, great personality, great passion. He really takes pride in his work, which is helping others find out what they are best at, and how to get there. Really, more income more impact; more money more meaning! He also is just compassionate, helpful, and entertaining. Really inspires me to perform at my job personally (also I always love the dad jokes and how his kids always call him “cringy” and he just leans into it).
  • Sir Horst
    Good show!!
    I definitely would recommend listening to Mr. Coleman. His enthusiasm is motivating he gives good advice.
  • ElLeeYo
    No real experience
    Ken is an individual with no real world experience, telling others what they need to do to succeed.
  • Filphord
    Career coach?
    A career coach that rails against work from home? I’ll listen to someone who understands and wants to work in the current environment and not some who refuses to acknowledge the world is changing.
  • joe lsu
    Great Show
    Love listening to the advice Ken gives his listeners. Me being an older Director for a company it’s nice to here what Ken has to say and, help with the new way of managing people.
  • dj_urban
    Great content
    This show is great in giving you career advice, life advice, & becoming your best you. Ken’s team help provide people with great tools to get the “dream job”.
  • Liz2Day
    Yep!
    Coleman has given me some at-work things to think about that I might have glossed over in the past. + when he rattles his papers, it cracks me up. :-) Good pod!
  • sar7ahjon
    Very helpful to us!
    Love this show. The online assessment was eye opening to some of the ways God created me to be enthusiastic, that I hadn’t considered that could help direct my career and open my mind to other possible jobs. Thanks for all you share! Praying you are blessed and continue to help others!

    The Old Gazelle of Career Advice
    Hear me out: I’m not saying he’s old but I am saying he’s like an older, wiser gazelle who has outwitted every lion coming his way. The guy doesn’t have a degree and he ACTIVELY goes against the grain to encourage other people to stop chasing pieces of paper because they DO NOT guarantee success. I have a degree and I see nothing wrong with getting degrees if you NEED them. But, I still appreciate the sage advice on how to find a career that fires me up, challenges me, and helps me take care of my family and my future.
  • Mariehay7
    Life Changing
    Ken is top notch, period! I listen daily and Ken is so inspirational and motivating. His talks alway make in impact on my day to day. Live fully and a life you love is always great to hear. He has changed my life for the better and I enjoy his head knowledge. Always gives a a good laugh. Favorite Ramsey personalities. Go Ken! Your killing it.
  • Ely 2013
    Enjoy listening
    Thank you for sharing your experiences, advice and keep me with the latest economic news and jobs.
  • NonNickname318
    Umm…
    Ken is observably the weakest “personality” of the bunch from the ramsey show and it’s showcased on full display when on his own. Where’s the advice and why should I trust it? Ken has no concrete credentials supporting him being an expert… on anything career wise. He’s never done any HR work or coaching of high powered CEOs, been an actual CEO or lead a company in any way. His resume and previous work experience before Ramsey has been kept secretive for this very reason. He’s a heavy conservative that gives basic “feeling in my gut” type of career answers such as… you should get a job you love with people you like making tons of money. Also, he’s a rude Ramsey show cohost interjecting with repeating or contradicting advice. He’s a puzzling move for the Ramsey team for sure as he’s observably bad at his job.
  • A Long 1515
    Awesome
    I’ve listened to a few podcasts by Ken, and I believe that what he’s saying speaks to me personally. His podcasts allowed me to see a major personal fault that has been hurting me my whole life! I’m working on it. God blessed him. Bless God for Ken sharing the wisdom with us. Every episode is filled so full of information and encouragement. It sticks with you and carries you on to better things. Thank you, Ken, for making your podcasts free.

    Worth Your Time
    I’ve been listening to Ken for about two years now. I have also read “ From Paycheck to Purpose”, and purchased the “Get Clear Assessment” for myself and others. If you’re looking for a daily motivator and guide to encourage you to find the job you was meant to do, please give Ken an opportunity to help.
  • CZivkovich22
    Love the show
    This show is fantastic! It’s perfect for the drive into work because the career advancement advice is working for me and it always seems to put me in a positive frame of mind. Struggle with self doubt? The Ken Coleman show needs to be in your playlist.
  • Dhawk150
