    It was an absolute delight to be a guest on Beyond the Velvet Rope. Neal did an incredible job with well-researched, engaging questions, and I had so much fun in our conversation that I'm still smiling! His team will be providing a ton of assets to me from the episode and I'm looking forward to the air date.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stewardship vs. Ownership: A New Perspective
Q: What would you tell someone worried about AI making their job obsolete?
Learn to use AI to your advantage, pivot your skills, and combine AI with your experience to create new offers. The goal is to stay ahead by adapting and building a brand story that leverages these tools rather than fearing them.
Stewardship vs. Ownership: A New Perspective
Q: How do you balance faith, family, and a high-velocity business life?
There is no perfect work-life balance; it's about constant counterbalance, structuring time, and making room for what matters most. I schedule with intention, protect family time, and lean on a team to handle the rest while staying anchored in purpose.
Stewardship vs. Ownership: A New Perspective
Q: Kenny, what moment pushed you toward entrepreneurship after prison?
The moment was realizing I could survive and that there was a path forward. I started with tiny steps, like selling things from the trunk and then turning that into multiple ventures, driven by a clear vision and a willingness to learn from the people around me.
The Hidden Struggles of Inherited Wealth
Q: What motivated you to write Trust Your Trust Fund?
Seeing the void in conversation about the emotional inheritance and deciding to share what I learned to help others avoid the same struggles.
Disrupting Wall Street: Jaden Sterling's Mission
Q: What does the first step look like for someone new to this game, before buying a single stock?
The guest stresses embracing risk in a calculated way, starting with understanding one's risk tolerance, and then using tools like a North Star ranking and portfolio-building features to guide stock selection. Education and gradual, value-aligned choices reduce overwhelm and align investments with personal values.
