Kenny Donnell is a business strategist, brand builder, and bold voice for purpose-driven entrepreneurship. But before the boardrooms, breakout books, and million-dollar ventures, his journey began behind bars — serving 7 years in prison from age 17 to 24. Released with no direction and no blueprint, Kenny turned his pain into purpose and built a life that proves redemption isn’t just possible — it’s profitable.From working inside Fortune 500 giants like Sprint, Nextel, and Grainger to launching and scaling multiple businesses across industries — including a construction firm that completed over $250M in projects — Kenny has mastered the art of building what doesn’t exist yet. His business acumen is matched by his audacity: his very first company began by landing a major client before the company even legally existed.Today, Kenny is the co-owner of TDRealty, the largest minority-owned real estate brokerage in Texas, with over 400 agents and $400M+ in sales. Under the T2K3 Enterprises umbrella, he also leads TDR Cares, a nonprofit that invests over $100K annually into scholarships, single parents, and underserved communities.He also leads ExposureXperts, a platform that helps people figure out who they are, what they offer, and how to grow their brand or business with a clear plan. It’s built for people who have big ideas but feel stuck, scattered, or unsure of where to start. ExposureXperts helps them get focused, build simple systems, and take the right steps toward real growth —without guessing their way through it.Kenny is the creator of The One Idea Challenge, a powerful coaching experience that helps aspiring entrepreneurs discover, define, and develop the one idea that could change their life. He is also the author of From Employee to Bo$$, a practical and powerful guide to breaking free from survival thinking and stepping boldly into ownership — not just of business, but of your identity.Whether on stage, in the streets, or through a screen, Kenny teaches from experience, not theory. He equips others with what he’s lived: how to turn your story into strategy, your gift into income, and your idea into impact.From incarceration to influence, from “nowhere” to national platforms — Kenny Donnell is living proof that your past is not your prison. It’s your platform
