Ken has been a guest on Your Partner In Success Radio before, and it’s always an honor to welcome him back. I have many of Ken's books in pride of place in my entrepreneurial library, a testament to the value and inspiration they bring. Today, we’re diving into his powerful new book, '50 Irrelevants Who Rocked the World!'—a deeply inspiring tribute to outsiders, underdogs, and unlikely changemakers who reshaped history on their own terms. The “irrelevants” come from sports, science, the arts, activism, business, and more—demonstrating that underdogs can emerge anywhere.
