In this episode of #MeetCoolPeople, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kenny Lange, a man on a mission to change the landscape of nonprofit and purpose-driven business leadership. Kenny hosts his own show, "How Leaders Think," and I am honored that he joined us to chat about some great topics that every entrepreneur, leader, and changemaker needs to listen to around leadership, processes, and more.
Kenny shared his extraordinary journey from working nearly two decades in churches and ministries to launching a highly successful digital marketing agency. Today, Kenny focuses on coaching nonprofits and businesses to turn purpose into performance with systems designed to foster high-performance teams and effective leadership.
### Key Takeaways:
- Whether it's a for-profit or a nonprofit venture, having a clear vision and a specific approach to problem-solving for your target group is essential. Kenny stressed the importance of aligning your mission with actionable goals and celebrating milestones along the way.
- Eliminate Chaos in Growth. One practical step to remove chaos in business growth is preparing an organizational chart geared towards future expansion. Kenny recommended identifying the necessary roles and responsibilities and meeting weekly as a team for accountability and problem-solving.
- This authenticity should extend to leadership and team dynamics.
- Both Kenny and I emphasized the importance of focusing on strengths and outsourcing weaknesses. Entrepreneurs often feel trapped by trying to do everything themselves, but the key is to find the right people and empower them to execute the vision.
- Kenny shared his mantra of competing against what's possible rather than just surviving. This mindset helps teams envision and actualize their full potential, driving them toward ever-greater accomplishments.
We also discussed the negative impacts of self-sabotage, especially when systems are in place, and things start feeling too easy. He encouraged striving for what's possible instead of falling back into survival mode.

#MeetCoolPeople
We have this amazing technology that keeps us closer than we've ever been yet we're less connected than ever and have become slaves to our technology.
The same technology that was meant to be a tool to help us make life easier and be closer.
The #MeetCoolPeople Movement is to change that.
It's a reminder to put the phone down and pay attention to the people you're with right now.
It's a reminder that social media is there to connect and add value to the people of the world. Use it to Promote what you love, not bash what you don't.
It's a reminder to use that technology to reach out to someone that you can help and be there for them. Find out what they need right now and use your vast network to help make their day better.
It’s a reminder to thank someone for helping you out.
It’s a reminder to introduce someone you meet to someone you know can help them.
And it's a reminder that we can grow to amazing successes but not alone. It requires the help of others.
So surround yourself with people that make you better and make it your mission to #MeetCoolPeople!
Thank you again for helping spread the word and have an amazing day!
