What does a life well lived actually look like?
At 75, Ken McArthur has already lived more careers than most people have jobs:
computer programmer calculating orbits for NASA, pet store owner, police officer, rock musician, studio owner, film producer, community builder, and now the founder of a new AI-powered platform for human connection.
In this episode of RESET, we don’t talk tactics or funnels. We talk about life:
Volunteering for the Army in the Vietnam era
Writing code on punch cards and 16K machines
Buying a pet store because one fish had 100 babies
Working nights as a cop in Lakeland, FL
Building a recording studio and playing music through the best decade of rock
Creating live events that changed thousands of lives
Bootstrapping everything (movies, software, platforms) with no VC money
Why he sold it all, moved to 80 acres in Missouri… and what went wrong
The simple question he asks people: “What do you want to do when you get up in the morning?”
His new project, ConnectLab, and how he’s thinking about AI, connection, and the future
Why he’s on a five-year plan at 75 – and what he wants those years to mean
Ken’s core philosophy is disarmingly simple:
Find something. Make it better. Then do it faster for more people.
If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s “too late” to start over, or whether you’ve already missed your shot… this conversation will mess with that belief in the best possible way.
