About Ken Joslin

Ken Joslin grew up in a difficult family situation, moving around a lot and attending twelve different schools in twelve years. Despite this, he learned how to be a connector, a skill that would serve him well later in life. After the Air Force and a stint in full-time ministry, Joslin found himself in real estate, where he quickly became a top performer.

It was through real estate that Joslin began to gather around him a community of other high-performing leaders, a group he now calls his “champions.” These leaders share some common traits, including an unwillingness to negotiate with themselves and a consistency in taking daily action. For Joslin, staying focused and grounded amidst the chaos of a busy schedule comes down to knowing his core values and staying true to them.
