Ken Atchity on Born to Talk Radio

Listen to Marsha Wietecha's Born To Talk Radio Show with Ken Atchity  about his latest is "My Obit: Daddy Holding Me." 

Ken’s Takeaways:“I’ve always lived my life following the observation of the Spanish philosopher Jose Ortega y Gasset: “I think the only immoral thing is for a being not to live every second of his life with the utmost intensity.” That means exploring your every potential, pushing every envelope, jumping into every opportunity. Go for it! You only live once for sure!”
