The Unstuck Career
The Unstuck Career is hosted by Ken Williams, an entrepreneur who made a bold career shift at age 55 after spending 16 years in the same job. Now building his own business, Ken is on a mission to help others break free from unfulfilling work and create a better life.
This podcast is for burned-out, frustrated professionals who feel stuck in toxic jobs, underpaid roles, or careers that no longer fit, and know they’re meant for something more.
Each week, Ken shares powerful conversations with people who have successfully made the leap (or are in the process of doing it) alongside practical Friday Focus episodes packed with mindset shifts and actionable strategies. Listeners will learn how to take control of their careers, build momentum toward change, and create work that aligns with the life they actually want.
If you’re ready to stop settling and start moving, this show will help you get there.

This week, Ken dives into one of the biggest hurdles we all face on our career journeys: the fear of making mistakes. Through personal stories—complete with a guest appearance from his mischievous cat—Ken challenges the deep-seated belief that mistakes are something to fear.
Instead, he reframes them as valuable lessons and necessary steps to growth, whether you’re learning to ride a bike, master a stick shift, or even create your first social media video. Tune in as Ken shares why stumbling is an inevitable (and beneficial!) part of the path to being unstoppable in your life and career, and reminds us that most of the time, nobody else is paying as much attention to our "mistakes" as we think.
Get ready for a mindset shift and a dose of encouragement to help you move forward—poofy hair and all!
