#196 -From Inventing Podcasts to Thriving in Bangkok: Ken Rutkowski on Technology, Travel, and Intentional Living

Send us Fan MailEver wonder who laid the groundwork for the podcasts you binge today? We're thrilled to host the tech visionary Ken Rutkowski, the inventor of the first podcast-like technology for PDAs in the 1990s. Ken reveals the fascinating story of his journey and the unexpected sale to Microsoft that changed the game. We also explore the unique benefits of both audio and video podcasts, and Ken shares his surprising take on using workout time to consume educational content, likening music to brain "carbs."Our chat then shifts gears as we recount the creation of METAL (Media, Entertainment, Technology, Arts, and Leaders) in Los Angeles during the dot-com bubble burst. The evolution of this network, especially its transition to a global Zoom community during the Covid era, brought unparalleled insights and speakers from around the world. We challenge preconceived notions about travel destinations like Dubai, Beirut, and Tel Aviv, emphasizing the transformative power of firsthand experiences and the benefits of remote work in discovering hidden gems.Finally, we distinguish between being a connector and a networker, using poignant examples like Bill Clinton's genuine care and memory for personal details to illustrate the impact of intentional relationships. We discuss contemporary men's struggles, notably environmental impacts on testosterone, and outline eight core principles for men's success. Rounding it out is Ken's passionate take on living well in Bangkok, highlighting the city's superior food quality, impressive gym facilities, and overall appeal. Join us for a conversation packed with invaluable life lessons and practical advice for personal growth, networking, and well-being.How to Reach Ken Rutkowski:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kenradio/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kenrutkowski/Metal Men: https://metal.men/ To Reach Jordan:Email: [email protected] Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9ejFXH1_BjdnxG4J8u93ZwFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jordan.edwards.7503Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jordanfedwards/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordanedwards5/Hope you find value in this.
