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

Hi Kevin, what do you attribute your success to?
The most important factor behind my success is serving others. We’re blessed to be a blessing. I am constantly driven by wanting to be of service to others. One of my favorite quotes of all-time is by Rick Warren, “God determines your greatness by how many people you serve, not how many people serve you.” That’s a quote I try to live my life by. I work hard so I can be of service to others. It’s the main thing that drives my success.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
I’m blessed to be able to do what I do for a living. I struggled for several years trying to break into broadcast journalism. I received well over a hundred rejections before I received my first “yes.” This process taught me to be grateful for any and everything that comes my way. I can’t believe that I’ve been in broadcast journalism for 10 years. I never take for granted that I get to talk sports for a living. Every single day I come to work, I give my all. It’s a privilege that I get to do what I do for my job and I treat it as such. There’s three main lessons that I’ve learned from journey: 1.) Always be kind. 2.) Trust your dopeness 3.) Never be afraid to take a risk

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
We would do a lot of hiking. We’d visit Lake Tahoe, Yosemite, Bay Area, and Mount Shasta. We would enjoy everything that nature has to offer. We would check out some sporting events, and maybe go line dancing.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would love to shout out Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Sacramento. This is an organization I have volunteered with for the last 6 years. They do incredible work, and are transforming lives every day.
