What if your work isn’t just about making money, but making meaning? On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, Dr. Zach Clinton sits down with bestselling author and Ramsey Solutions personality Ken Coleman for a conversation about calling, clarity, and the courage to pursue the work you were wired to do. Drawing from Proverbs 12:27, they explore why meaningful work requires diligence, surrender, and alignment. Ken shares about walking away from a future in politics, battling imposter syndrome, and why so many capable people quietly settle long before they ever leave a job. From discovering purpose at the intersection of personality, passion, and pain to applying The Proximity Principle, this episode offers practical clarity for anyone feeling stuck or misaligned. If you’ve been wondering whether there’s more for your life and work, this conversation will challenge you to stop drifting, start aligning, and take one intentional step toward meaningful contribution.
