Meet Kenny Weiss

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kenny Weiss.

Raised by struggling parents who had four children by their early 20s, emotions ran high in the Weiss household. Add in a father who was beaten as a child and a mother who was adopted, and it is easy to see why Kenny grew up in a home with a rage-filled dad and an alcoholic mother.

Kenny’s upbringing molded his life, one in which he faced many of his own struggles. After battling with his personal demons for years, he contemplated suicide. Holed up in his apartment for three days, he found himself trying to write a suicide note to his own children. But when he tried to justify his choice, he just couldn’t. Every time he tried to write a sentence, he realized there was no way he could take his life without completely transferring his pain to his children.

After more than 30 years of reading, studying, going to seminars, and working with counselors trying to get a handle on his own issues and pain, he had an epiphany: something is drastically missing in society and the personal development field. At that moment, he went into his office and wrote down these words.

 “I want to come up with a revolutionary process no one else has discovered that will fundamentally change society!”

This is when he started the journey, which would later become The Greatness Movement.

Has it been a smooth road?
Multiple addictions, Two horrific divorces, in one of those marriages, I was both physically and verbally abused. A child custody battle, bankruptcy, playing two pro sports that I see now, I never wanted to play either of them and finally, spending three days holed up in my apartment contemplating suicide.

We’d love to hear more about your work.

How do you think the industry will change over the next decade?
I see a filtering taking place. The industry is flooded with “life coaches” but people are weary of that name because there is such a low bar of entry. Most can just take a weekend class and call themselves a life coach. The public is going to be more discerning and decide if they want an intro level coach who took a weekend class or someone like myself who has 30 years of studying under my belt. Those looking for more will search for a coach who has much more breadth and depth beyond the intro level coaching of “be positive” mantras.
