You’ll notice that we are down one host this week, but it will seem like we have at least 5 other people on the show, given the sheer amount of energy, positivity, and accomplishments our multi-talented and inspirational guest brings to the podcast.

With Jeremy away this month, Troy goes solo, and introduces listeners to an exceptional individual who truly embodies the essence of personal and professional growth: Kenyon Murray. A former professional and legendary college basketball player, Kenyon really isn't just a singular guest - he's a coach, a dedicated family man, an entrepreneur, a charismatic keynote speaker, VP of the Murray Family Foundation, and the host of the Leave Your Legacy podcast.

Today, he discusses his fascinating journey, the power of a growth mindset, the art of balance in life, the importance of a strong support network, and his Four E's of personal growth. Kenyon’s message is a positively powerful one at any time, but especially as we find ourselves at the close of one year and on the exciting threshold of the next: we all have the power to leave a positive legacy and make a profound difference in the lives of others.
