K. Scott's Journey
Kenneth Scott's story is one of resilience and purpose. He started in Section 8 housing, relying on food stamps, SSI checks, and welfare programs. With his mother battling lupus and his father struggling with addiction and incarceration, the odds were stacked against him. Yet, Kenneth found the strength to rise above adversity through his mother's unwavering positivity and the stability his stepfather, "Pops," provided. This foundation of love and resilience sparked his passion for helping others overcome their own challenges.
As a standout student-athlete at the University of Utah, Kenneth earned two degrees while being celebrated for his leadership, community service, and excellence both on and off the field. His dedication was recognized when he was named the Most Inspirational Male Student-Athlete, a title that opened doors to professional opportunities in the NFL and CFL.
After his football career, Kenneth shifted gears into social work, where he quickly made an impact, helping families and communities find hope and stability. His skills and passion soon carried him into the corporate world, where he thrived as a top sales professional, executive leader, and senior trainer at a Fortune 40 company. There, he coached executives and their leaders on leadership and high performance, showing that his lessons through his journey could uplift others in powerful ways.
Today, Kenneth continues to inspire as an educational consultant, TEDx speaker, facilitator, musician, and adjunct professor at Rice University. With his Social Health Brand curriculum, he has partnered with organizations to equip individuals with the knowledge and tools to build purposeful brands that positively impact social health and well-being, preparing them to navigate educational and life transitions confidently.
When Kenneth is not inspiring others, he can be found enjoying a round of golf or spending time with his wife, Brittany, and their daughters, Brooklyn and Kenley. His mission is simple yet profound: to inspire everyone, regardless of their background, to Leave A Blessing and make a lasting, positive impact in their communities. This mission is a call to action, motivating others to follow in his footsteps and make a difference.
