He was recently accepted into Harvard Business School Foundry. He also writes Raise Smarter, a daily newsletter on what's really moving in early-stage fundraising. Ken challenges us to realize we ALL have an impact, whether we want to or not, on thousands of people we touch in our day-to-day lives, and he shows that simple things make a HUGE difference. ConnectLab.live grew out of that belief. Connection is the currency of the 21st Century, and the right introduction can change a company's future.

He created AffiliateShowcase.com, a pioneering affiliate program search engine and directory. He also founded the MBS Internet Research Center, which conducted the world's largest survey ever attempted on creating and launching successful information products. Ken was the official mentor for Sterling Valentine as he took his launch from zero to over $100,000 in less than 8 days, a proof of concept documented in Info Product Blueprint. Today he puts that same skill for connecting people and launching ideas to work for founders and the investors who back them.

    Writing down this list of mistakes when setting goals really helps me define just exactly which mistakes I am making.  It gives me something concrete to look at and examine.
    I want to pursue my goals, while at the same time, point the way for my friends to come along with me on this great adventure! 
    Thank you, Ken.  Do you realize just exactly how much you have impacted lives?  I can imagine how that must feel for you.  I just wonder if you know how it feels on the receiving end.  You are providing hope.  What a huge gift to give.
