Ken Rusk started his first job as a ditch digger at 15 and turned that into a successful company. Today, blue-collar trades are just as much a path to success as they were then, but fewer people pursue them. Blue Collar Cash, a Wall Street Journal Bestseller, explores what makes now a perfect time to become blue-collar. 

Ken spent his younger years digging ditches and working in construction. He never went to college. Instead, he made goals, planned, and worked hard for thirty years. Now, Ken is a very successful entrepreneur with multiple businesses and revenue streams.

Ken specializes in mentoring and has coached hundreds of young people in areas such as short-, mid-, and long-term goal setting, life visualization, career paths, and sound financial planning. He is passionate about helping people achieve their dreams regardless of their educational background or past. You could say, he is a proud advocate of creating a strong vision for your life, and the pursuit of Comfort, Peace & Freedom.
