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.

The Biggest Lie Holding You Back at Work
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
This week, we’re calling out “BossLie”—the sneaky myth that keeps you believing your job is the only way to pay your bills and build the life you want. How often have you heard that your industry, your company, or even your town is your single ticket to success? I debunk this idea and show you there are far more options than you’ve been led to believe.
We’ll dig into why so many of us fall for the boss’s narrative—often because they believe it themselves—and how this has held back countless professionals from finding new opportunities. You’ll hear inspiring real-world examples I’ve shared on the podcast, from Logan’s creative business idea solving a simple community problem, to Jordan’s thriving dog walking gig in New York City, proving that wherever there’s a problem, there’s a chance to build a better future.
Ready to shake free from the mental chains of “there’s only one way out”? Tune in for practical encouragement to spot opportunities, solve real problems, and design work that fits your life. If you’re ready for less stress, more happiness, and a chance to live into your purpose, let’s get you unstuck. Want to connect? Head over to kenwilliamscoaching.com for more info.
