In this episode of What’s the Point?, Bill Ellis sits down with bestselling author, entrepreneur, and blue collar advocate Ken Rusk to unpack what it really means to take control of your future—without following the traditional path.

Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways: What “Blue Collar” Really Means: Ken redefines the term to include anyone who builds, creates, or makes things happen with their hands—and challenges outdated assumptions about skilled trades.The Myth of College = Success: He debunks misleading stats about higher education and shows how skilled workers often out-earn their white-collar peers—without student debt.Visualization = Power: Ken outlines his process for helping people map out their dream life in vivid detail, turning “someday” into “today.”From Someday to Now: A real-world story of a team member who paid off her car loan, bought a house, and built her dream life—all by starting with a $48/week savings goal.Start Where You Are: Whether you're 19 or 59, Ken shares how to pivot into a meaningful, profitable path using side gigs, local insight, and simple planning tools.Giving Back: Proceeds from Blue Collar Cash and Ken’s online programs support veterans, first responders, and Gold Star families through his nonprofit foundation. Ken Rusk’s story is proof that you don’t need permission, prestige, or a PhD to build the life you want. His message? Stop waiting for a lucky break and start building with what you’ve got. Whether you’re at the beginning of your career or hitting reset midlife, this episode is a reminder that comfort, peace, and freedom are within reach—if you’re willing to map it out and get your hands a little dirty.
