E193: Negativity as an Opportunity to Grow with Ken Lock

Tribe of Millionaires Podcast

Finding your passion and purpose in life may take a lot of trial and error. You may have to switch careers or explore opportunities outside of your industry. It requires passion, persistence, resilience, and looking at every negativity as an opportunity to grow.

But one thing is for sure – there are no accidents. Instead, all the things you’ve actually done have led you down that path to become exactly what you were intended to be.

In today’s episode, Ken Lock, the official Chaplain & Barber of Milwaukee Bucks, shares his journey of discovering his purpose and how he walked into the person he was meant to be.

As the visionary of Evolve Church, Ken is passionate about helping millennials find God in our present language. In three years’ time, the church has grown organically and exploded to 1,500 people. Not only the first-ever “chaplain and barber” of an NBA team, but Ken is also the youngest chaplain in NBA history at 29 years old.
