From Ivy League to Prison to Millionaire – Ken Miller’s Story of Radical ChangeKen Miller went from Dartmouth graduate to homeless crack addict to convicted felon - then built himself into a millionaire business owner. In this conversation, he shares what actually changed and how he did it.What you'll learn: • The difference between reaction and action - and how to create the gap that changes everything• How to stop working on yourself endlessly and start giving out instead • The power of secrets and why sharing them takes away their control over you • How shame says "I am" but guilt says "I did" and why that distinction matters • How to identify your core issue and work with it instead of being controlled by it • The truth about accountability and why doing things for others works when doing them for yourself failsKen spent 21 years homeless, cycling between shelters, treatment centers, jail, and prison. He was released in 2007 with $22 and nothing else. Today he owns five businesses and mentors men coming out of similar situations, but this isn't a motivational story about willpower - it's an honest conversation about fear, pride, self-talk, and the hard work of actually changing.He talks about the moment in prison when he heard God say "we can do this," working through his secrets with a counselor, learning to create space between stimulus and response, and why being "well" means you're not in battle with yourself anymore.This is a conversation about truth, accountability, and what it actually takes to become a different person.Subscribe for more conversations about clarity, growth, and getting unstuck.#recovery #addiction #personaltransformation #prison #redemption #sobriety #mentalhealth #accountability #selfawareness #personalgrowth #businessowner #secondchances #changeyourlife #overcomingadversity #realstories
