The Ultimate Assist: From Players To Podcasters | John Stockton & Ken Ruettgers | Ripple Effect #540

Mar 18, 2025

John Stockton is a 10x NBA All-Star and the undisputed king of assists, holding the record for the most career assists in NBA history. Known for his grit and subtle humor, John spent his entire 19-year career with the Utah Jazz, where he let his passes do the talking. Off the court, he’s a dedicated dad and still finds time to mentor young athletes, sharing his love for the game and his wealth of knowledge. Now, he’s bringing that same straightforward style to The Ultimate Assist podcast, guiding listeners through conversations on health and personal freedom—with a dash of his signature dry humor.

Ken Ruettgers is a two-time Super Bowl Green Bay Packers veteran who brings both grit and depth to everything he does. After 12 seasons as an offensive tackle in the NFL, Ken stepped into sociology, now teaching at Central Oregon Community College. Known for his strength on the field and his wisdom off it, he serves as a Transition Coach for former NFL players. On The Ultimate Assist podcast, Ken’s blend of toughness and insight makes conversations as thoughtful as they are impactful, bringing a grounded, approachable perspective to the big questions.
