RIDEOUT: The Other Side of Hard

Ken Rideout

Booking Overview

Interview-driven resilience and redemption show featuring external guests whose stories combine major achievement with adversity, including professional athletes, entrepreneurs, creators, and medical or recovery professionals. Agencies could credibly pitch accomplished founders, athletes, executives, creators, physicians, and recovery advocates with compelling firsthand experiences of setbacks and reinvention; booking difficulty is high because recent guests have substantial achievements, public profiles, or unusually candid personal stories.
