Founder of The Hope Place

I'm the founder of a mental health facility in Texas. After 7 years of managing it by myself I was burned out, divorced, and struggling with autoimmune issues. I was genuinely considering shutting it down to save myself. I believe meeting Kenny was God's grace to my life. He's walked me through hiring a CEO and a COO. I've completely restructured with zero staff losses, and today is the first day I've had off in a year. It's such a relief. Kenny has been honest, straight forward, and flexible with my unique situation. He's encouraged not only me, but my staff. He is full of resources and freely offers them. The assessments he's chosen are professional and very helpful understanding each strength of my team. I've been pleasantly surprised by his ability to create and distribute documentation for meetings with my staff and for the business in general. It is out of my meetings with Kenny that I was able to establish the team that helps me solve problems in weeks that I've been trying to solve alone for years. We have even hired 5 additional therapists which seemed impossible a year ago. I chose Kenny because he is a professed Christ follower who wants to do kingdom work here on earth. His integrity and compassion during our initial meeting was striking to me, and I knew that his insightful questions would help me get to freedom. If you're a Christian who has devoted your business to biblical principles, I highly recommend booking your consult with Kenny to see how God can work through good counsel. I was so burned out that I had no vision of what my future could look like. Now, I have a 1 year, 3 year, and 10 year plan. That seemed impossible to me at the start of my journey with Kenny. He gave hope back to The Hope Place.

I thoroughly enjoyed being on Kenny's podcast. He asked great questions, created enjoyable conversation, and was very thoughtful on how we discussed the topic. I love easy going conversation and this was that. Some podcasters aren't enjoyable to chat with, they just go question to question and this wasn't the case. It wasn't just a podcast I enjoyed being on it is also one I enjoy listening to. This was a no brainer to being on the podcast.

Kenny was phenomenal from start to finish. We chose to bring him in because we wanted a speaker who could energize, inspire, and genuinely connect with our nonprofit community - and he exceeded every expectation. Working with him was seamless; he was thoughtful during prep, incredibly professional, and fully invested in delivering a message that aligned with our event’s goals. The feedback from our attendees has been nothing short of incredible. People described him as engaging, relatable, and one of the standout highlights of the entire conference. I would absolutely recommend Kenny to any event organizer or leadership team looking for a speaker who combines authenticity, humor, and real, actionable insight. He’s a perfect fit for leaders and events focused on growth, impact, and motivating people to step into their best work.

We’ve grown our revenue 6X in just 2 years in large part because of S2.

Kenny is the only coach I’ve worked with who sees straight through to the motivations beneath my actions—and helps me grow through it with both grace and grit. He brings clarity to our organization, keeps our leadership team focused on what matters most, and challenges us to speak truth. He’s like a Swiss army knife of leadership, strategy, and development—and every tool he brings is sharp. What sets him apart is the mix of insight, humor, and just the right touch of deviousness. He doesn’t fit the mold—and that’s exactly what makes him invaluable. Working with Kenny has been more insightful and growth-reflective than anything I’ve experienced.

It was such a pleasure to chat with Kenny. I've done a few podcasts and interviews in my time, but Kenny stands out as such a nuanced, experienced *listener* and speaker that it makes the conversation natural, organic, and uniquely insightful. We all come in with a boilerplate message, but Kenny did an incredible job of grasping that and taking the conversation into even deeper, more nuanced territory. Brilliant guy, wonderful partner.

Founder & Executive Coach at Leadering

I said yes to How Leaders Think after watching a couple of episodes. What stood out was that Kenny could hang with any guest on any topic, ask good questions, and then give the person room to actually speak. That last part is rarer than it should be. What surprised me was how easy the conversation was. Kenny has a good sense of humor and keeps things light without letting the conversation get shallow. His questions were thoughtful, and he is not afraid to follow a thread down and keep asking. A lot of hosts have their list and stick to it. Kenny listens and then goes where the answer takes him, which is how you end up somewhere worth going. This was one of the easiest experiences I have had on a podcast. If you are considering coming on, there is nothing to brace for. Just be ready for layered questions about whatever you brought, and come prepared to actually think about your own material.

Being on the How Leaders Think podcast was such an easy, fun experience! Kenny made the whole process simple, including what questions to expect, and you could tell he was genuinely interested in the topic of skills. He was curious and really made the conversation more like talking over a cup of coffee. Great experience, and I'm excited to hear the episode when it goes live!

Grateful for the opportunity to join Kenny Lange on How Leaders Think. What stood out to me most was the intentionality behind the entire process. From the early chemistry call to the thoughtful prep and reminders, it was clear this wasn’t just another interview, it was a space designed for meaningful, high-value conversation. By the time we recorded, there was a level of trust and alignment that allowed us to move quickly past surface-level ideas into something more honest and reflective. It didn’t feel like performing, it felt like processing in real time, and that created clarity for me about how to deliver the most genuine, centered insights from my own journey. Kenny has done the deep work to create an environment where transformative conversations can actually take place. If you’re a builder or leader willing to lean in, this is the kind of space that sharpens your thinking and pulls out what’s real. Grateful to share part of the journey and the message that purpose, when truly aligned, has the power to reshape both how we think and how we build.

Kenny was awesome — he actually knew my background before we hit record, which made the conversation feel real instead of a surface-level "tell us about yourself" loop. We went deep on things that actually matter, and it never felt like he was just running through a script. Natural, substantive, and faster than you'd expect.

I loved that Kenny and I were able to have an open conversation about the practical use of AI. It was a fun and engaging moment. Kenny asks great questions, and he added a great deal to the topics we covered. I don't typically get questions about my Strategic Planning work, and I liked the fact that he was truly interested in the process and the outcomes we're getting for our clients. I think this is a very timely show in that we don't have a lot of good examples of strong leadership in our world right now. I wanted to be on the show because getting to the core of how leaders think and respond in the world is a very important link to their behavior. I believe the show is a great opportunity for leaders to lean into a deeper conversation around what leadership can look like--beyond profitability and the normal metrics we typically explore.
