We had the good fortune of connecting with Kenneth Thompson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Kenneth, how do you think about risk?
Risk comes in all shapes and forms and is accompanied in our everyday life whether it is personal or business. Starting a company and becoming an entrepreneur is one of the biggest risks I have taken in my life and I couldn’t be happier with my decision through all the ups and downs. Making daily decisions both short-term and long all have a certain risk involved and some more extreme than others if the reward is greater than the risk more times than not I will lean on my experience to make the decision, go with my gut and accept the results whether in my favor or not.

What should our readers know about your business?
Kenny T’s is a Brand manufacturing and consulting company specializing in creating and promoting small and large businesses through apparel. What sets Kenny T’s apart is the combined 40 yrs of experience of the staff and the constant re-investment in the latest technology and training to be the leaders in our industry. Vision, dedication, and strategic positioning have really grown Kenny T’s and have helped stabilize the company through the ups and downs of the industry. The most important lesson that I have learned is to stay cool under pressure and never get too high or too low this will help you make decisions with facts and not emotions. If I could leave the audience with one thing I would want them to know that Kenny T’s is a physical representation of what the mind can manifest when you don’t set limitations on yourself and believe in yourself and your product at all costs even when all the odds are against you if I can do it so can you!

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
As soon as my Best Friend comes to the City I am taking them to Beetle Cat, they have the best lobster rolls in the city. From there we are headed to Lenox Mall to grab some clothes and get fresh to hit the nightlife scene in Atlanta. Once the moon is in the sky we are Headed to CRU on peters st. The best Hookah, music, and wings in the city. We might go there every night till they leave. It’s that lit.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
First, I would like to give a shoutout to my Mother and Father for all of the life lessons they have taught me and continue to teach me. I would also like to shout out all the teachers and professors that have challenged my creative side and expanded my view on life. Books that have inspired and helped me on my journey in life include “Rich Dad poor Dad”,”Cash flow Quadrant” and “Black Crusaders”
