Welcome to The Plug — the show where real people talk real business.
I’m Jeff Kohl — builder, entrepreneur, and connector. I’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and now I’m sitting down with others who’ve done the same.
Each episode, I talk with founders, CEOs, tradespeople, athletes, and wildcards about the ups, downs, and everything in between — from deals and career pivots to comebacks and construction. It’s unfiltered, insightful, often funny, and always real.
Whether you’re building a business, a house, or just your next chapter — you’re in the right place.

From his early days selling bikes in Naperville to building a multimillion-dollar trade show business and real estate empire, Ken shares decades of hard-earned lessons, near-disasters, and wild wins.
