In this raw and inspiring episode of The Amazing Authorities Podcast, host Mitch Carson sits down with author, mentor, and real estate entrepreneur Kenny Donnell—a man whose journey from a 10-year prison sentence to co-owning the largest minority-owned brokerage in Texas will stop you in your tracks.

Kenny shares how he learned entrepreneurship from the inside out—literally—starting his first “business” behind bars, then scaling from T-shirts in car trunks to building over 200 homes in Dallas. Through it all, he’s uncovered the universal truth: your past doesn’t disqualify you—it prepares you.

You’ll hear how Kenny transitioned from employee to boss, why your experiences are your most monetizable asset, and how he now helps others unlock their own purpose through his “One Idea Masterclass.” Packed with actionable wisdom and gritty truth, this episode is a roadmap for anyone who’s ready to bet on themselves.

You’ll Learn:

• How Kenny turned a prison hustle into a 7-figure real estate business

• Why mindset—not mechanics—is what separates bosses from employees

• How to identify a problem you can solve based on your own experience

• What it means to “die empty” and build a legacy of purpose for your family

• The exact steps he uses to help people launch businesses from their life story

• Why people don’t buy your passion—they buy your solution

Whether you’re starting over or starting from scratch, this episode will give you the clarity and courage to move forward—with purpose.

Kenny is a builder of bold brands, a voice for purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and living proof that your past doesn’t disqualify you — it prepares you.

After serving 7 years in prison by the age of 24, Kenny Donnell walked out with no blueprint — just a belief that redemption is real. Since then, he’s built million-dollar companies, co-owns the largest minority-owned real estate brokerage in Texas, and leads multiple ventures that pour back into underserved communities.

He’s the creator of The One Idea Challenge, founder of ExposureXperts, and author of From Employee to Bo$$ — and today, he’s here to help you turn your story into strategy, your gift into income, and your idea into real impact.
