Life & Work with Kenny Ko

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenny Ko.

Hi Kenny, so excited to have you on the platform. So before we get into questions about your work-life, maybe you can bring our readers up to speed on your story and how you got to where you are today?
Many people don’t know but I actually started Firefighting for two years before switching careers to YouTube. I thoroughly enjoy both careers but felt that the entrepreneur life better suited my goals and ambitions. I’ve always been a highly motivated individual and like to do things much different than other people. That’s why I believe things have worked thus far. Paving a new path and not following what others are doing.

Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
For sure, the farthest thing from smooth. I noticed a trend which is people gravitate towards drama and controversy. At the time in the fitness industry there wasn’t any influencers capitalizing on this. Everyone was doing the same style content and promoting each other. This leads me to notice there was a need for a “villain” in the industry to rebuttal the claims of everyone else. It hasn’t been smooth but that’s the nature of the content I make.

Appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
I specialize in revealing the truth of social media and making people aware of what’s actually going on. I’m most proud of starting true to myself and being authentic. If I dislike or disagree with someone, I will tell them to their face. I think more people should just express how they feel. We all have opinions and should be able to voice how we feel without fear of repercussions.

Any big plans?
Continuing to grow HALF WICKED, and also continue to meet people who actively watch my content, Definitely some big things are in the making but I can’t spoil anything yet.
