Episode #16 - Practicing Creates Opportunities: An Interview With Ken Krawchuk

Being defeated in an election does not mean that you are a failure, nor does it mean that any other type of success you have is for nothing. It is all about perspective, your willingness to share more of yourself, and what your true purpose is and remembering that commitment. Today's episode features my interview with Ken Krawchuk, current 2026 Pennsylvania Libertarian Governor Candidate, in which he shares his wide, diverse experiences in the information technology (IT) field, his authoring of two books, and his successful radio show on WWDB 860 AM, The Pennsylvania Project, all has cumulative effects from being involved almost 10,000 days within Toastmasters, and beyond.Guest BioKen has been a registered Libertarian since 1993, and served two terms as Chair of the Libertarian Party of Pennsylvania. He’s run for public office ten times, including four runs for Abington Township commissioner, once for US Congress, twice for State Representative, and three record-breaking runs for Governor of Pennsylvania. In 2000 he sought the Libertarian nomination for US vice president, ultimately placing third in a field of five, as chosen by the delegates. He currently serves on the Libertarian Party Judicial Committee at the county, state, and national levels and is a candidate for the Libertarian Party for the 2026 Pennsylvania Governor's race.Ken is a Philadelphia native now living in nearby Abington Township. He and his first wife Roberta have been married seemingly forever, and have three adult daughters and four grandchildren (so far).
