This week on Chocolate Cake Bytes, Ken takes us behind the scenes of his recent adventure to the TEDx stage, sharing the messy, hope-stretching journey of applying, getting rejected, and ultimately finding just the right fit for his story. If you've ever struggled to keep the faith when there's little evidence that your work is paying off, you’ll want to hear Ken’s candid reflections on how progress is often happening even when we can’t see it.

From facing repeated “no’s” to learning the art—and the agony—of memorizing an entire speech, Ken explores the unexpected lessons that come from pursuing something new. Why do things sometimes feel like they're falling apart when they’re actually falling into place? What if the outcome you wanted isn’t the one you truly needed? Tune in for practical wisdom, real vulnerability, and, of course, a sweet reminder that it’s really about who we become along the way—not just what we achieve.

Join the conversation and discover the “sweet nuggets of goodness” Ken learned on stage, with plenty more to anticipate in the episodes ahead.
