Can Smiling Be a Business Strategy? an interview with Ken Rochon, a.k.a., Dr. Smiley

Ken Rochon figured out a business secret: getting people to smile for the camera created connections he couldn't have predicted. Those connections always led to higher caliber people. But it wasn't all a bed of roses. Ken was livin' the dream as a DJ, when his mother got sick. Her resiliency, and positivity inspired Ken to grow up, and build a legacy of meaning. Ken and Brad share a decade+ long friendship with stories, and another person who inspires Ken every single day: his son Kenny Junior who has written 6 books already, and challenged Ken to write more...including My First 60 Years, a memoir on all that he has learned so far. This is a warm and heartfelt episode on Awakened Nation™.
