Having Been Through the Fire | Kenny Dupar
from The Honest Mic Hosted by Fortune
Ken Dupar is a retired Colonel who uses humor to balance descriptions of really traumatic stuff. He writes love stories where Covid is the villain. Makes YouTube videos about how to poop at night in the military. And he's currently working on a novel set twenty thousand years ago involving evil space aliens and God shaking the Earth's Etch-A-Sketch. The line that caught me was this: having been through the fire, I feel capable to discuss thorny issues, life and death. Someone who has actually been there, who figured out the war to his own satisfaction, and who found humor not as a way to avoid the weight of it but as the only honest way to carry it. In this episode of The Honest Mic, Ken talks about the fear of death, the moment he realized humor was his way through, what most people don't see about war, and the through-line across his novels. If you've ever wondered how to carry heavy things without being crushed by them, this conversation is for you. Guest Links Website: KennyDupar.com Novels: Audiobook and print previews available
