Negative emotions run rampant in many people's lives today; a reality that feels like a shrink wrap of suffering.

But overuse of those rewards doesn't work for the long term and in fact weakens our confidence and motivation over time, leaving us vulnerable to failure and shame.

The turning $1,000 into $1.54 billion story

Suffusing the organization with a "teach and learn, learn and teach" mindset
Recruiting and retaining the nations finest talent by hiring based on aptitude > attitude > willingness > experience (in order of importance)
Finding a way to reject outside funding and retain full ownership
And every step and misstep along Kean's road to success is brought into the present day for Kenan remains the professor at heart and is deeply committed to helping fellow entrepreneurs forge models for outsized excellence in their own way forward.
