About
I’m Kenneth Scott—a former professional athlete turned educator.
Growing up in Section 8 housing and relying on welfare programs, I faced my share of challenges. Those experiences taught me the power of resilience, staying true to your purpose, and ignited my passion for helping others rise above their circumstances.
Through my sports, entertainment, social work, and corporate leadership journey, I uncovered a transformative truth: “Building purposeful brands isn’t just about promotion—it’s about transforming communities.”
That belief led me to create the Social Health Brand Program, designed to equip students with tools to build purposeful brands that grow their social capital through a unique blend of social health principles, personal branding, and strategic sales skills. With this program, my mission is to inspire individuals to recognize their gifts, build impactful brands, and create thriving communities.

"Living up to your true potential and dreams is what life's all about. We have many talents, so pursue them all."

K. Scott's Journey

My story is about four things—purpose, passion, people, and perseverance.
I grew up in Section 8 housing, relying on food stamps and welfare programs. My mother’s battle with lupus and my father’s struggles with addiction and incarceration made life challenging, but I found strength in my mother’s unwavering positivity and the stability my stepfather, ‘Pops,’ brought into our lives. This foundation of love and resilience sparked my drive to rise above adversity and fueled my passion for helping others do the same.
As a student-athlete at the University of Utah, I balanced the demands of sports, community, and academics, earning two degrees while being celebrated for my leadership and community service. This earned me the honor of being named the Most Inspirational Male Student-Athlete—a testament to the success of my personal branding efforts.
After brief stints in the NFL and CFL, I pivoted into social work, where I discovered a renewed sense of purpose, helping families and communities thrive. My journey then led me to the corporate world, where I thrived as a top sales consultant, executive leader, and Sr. Trainer in a Fortune 40 company, coaching leaders and executives on building, maintaining, and improving key business metrics.
Drawing from my experiences in social services and sales, I realized the transformative power of integrating these two worlds. This realization inspired me to create the Social Health Brand Program—with the mission to equip students with tools to build purposeful brands through a unique blend of social health principles, personal branding, and strategic sales skills.
My vision with the Social Health Brand Program is to inspire individuals to recognize their gifts, utilize their gifts, and build purposeful brands that transform their communities. With a strong foundation of early successes and established partnerships, the Social Health Brand Program is well-positioned for expansion, poised to make an even greater impact on students and communities.
And just like a wide receiver running a precise route to make the big play, I’m here to help students find their path, catch opportunities, and take it all the way to the end zone.
Let’s go build something great together!
