Episode 48

Author Nick Kennedy On Leading A Purposeful Life, Taking Risks, And Creating Positive Change (#48)

Author, serial entrepreneur, and executive life coach Nick Kennedy talks with me about building a principled business, leading a purposeful life, and creating positive change as an entrepreneur.

His lessons are for all of us, whether we intend to start our own business or not. In fact, Nick’s definition of “entrepreneur” likely includes you, no matter your field of work.

Nick spent hundreds of hours visiting his father in prison before eventually starting several companies, including an airline that was sold in 2017. He was named a 2017 EY Entrepreneur of the Year, awarded Dallas Business Journal’s 40 Under 40 and serves as a Capital Factory mentor and is on the boards of several companies. He’s been featured in NY Times, The Wall Street Journal, D Magazine, Texas Monthly, Dallas News, and the Dallas Business Journal.

Many talk about purposeful change, but true examples are rare. I strive to be one of those examples and invite you to join me on this journey.

With over 30 years of experience working with everyone from Fortune 50 executives to college students, I've learned that no one has all the answers. The key is finding the approach that resonates with you.

I challenge myself and others to rethink the scripts we've inherited and design lives that are uniquely our own. I'm passionate about connecting with change-makers who are living differently and showing us what's possible.
