Ken Craig is the most casually awesome person you'll ever meet. He doesn't seem worried about impressing everyone, and that just makes him more impressive. He is a spiritual powerhouse. Ken is the embodiment of kindness and, as he speaks in this episode, you'll feel that warmth. In fact, Ken attributes his ability to love others to be his secret to success.
"Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away." - 1 Corinthians 13:8
Because we had some good laughs as well as some serious moments in this episode, (and because I'm just a guy, not an audio editor) the volume is a bit quiet at some points and a tad loud at others.
