How Outsiders Change the World: Dr. Ken Atchity on Storytelling, Underdogs, and 50 Irrelevants Who Rocked History
Dr. Ken Atchity is a renowned Story Merchant—an author, producer, literary manager, and former professor with a Yale PhD. He’s written over 20 books, produced more than 30 films (including The Meg and Life or Something Like It), and launched dozens of bestselling authors and screenwriters. Ken’s career spans teaching, publishing, and Hollywood, all driven by his passion for finding and championing great stories and storytellers.
Ken has been a guest on Your Partner In Success Radio before, and it’s always an honor to welcome him back. I have many of Ken's books in pride of place in my entrepreneurial library, a testament to the value and inspiration they bring. Today, we’re diving into his powerful new book, '50 Irrelevants Who Rocked the World!'—a deeply inspiring tribute to outsiders, underdogs, and unlikely changemakers who reshaped history on their own terms. The “irrelevants” come from sports, science, the arts, activism, business, and more—demonstrating that underdogs can emerge anywhere.
