Kenny Hanson is the Founder & CEO of MentorPass, and an executive coach to consumer brand founders. Through MentorPass, Kenny works with many of the best founders and specialists in the industry, which has given him a front-row seat to what works and what doesn't. He's built one of the strongest networks in the space and uses it to help brands hit their goals. Before MentorPass, Kenny was a consulting manager at Accenture, where he developed the frameworks he still uses to diagnose problems and craft solutions. His coaching style is diagnostic and pattern-matched: ask the right questions, then apply what's working elsewhere. What he can help you with: 1. A strategic sounding board for your highest-stakes decisions 2. Opening doors to the right investors, executives, and retailers 3. Scaling from e-commerce to retail and building the team behind it 4. Building a growth strategy informed by his industry insights

The fantastic thing about a session with Kenny is this: it's like getting all the MentorsPass mentors in one call! Not only is he a founder himself, but he knows so many disciplines. And he just gets it - no need to go in for 20 mins with background - he is with you in the first 5 minutes. Not only was he generous with his time, but his knowledge was worth 10x what I paid for the session. His expertise in building marketplaces and platforms is deep and wide, but his advice was specific and actionable. If you are a first-time or repeat founder like me, run, don't walk to get some time with Kenny. I promise you - you will walk away from your time with Kenny smarter and better equipped to handle what is in front of you. I now have a new set of questions for myself and my product (than when I went into the call), which is in no small part due to Kenny being ten steps ahead of me.

Reminds me of a future Alex Hormozi, a very approachable and passionate energy. Similar background, really felt understood, listened to and good actionable take aways, and great insights to ruminate on. Will schedule many more calls I'm sure

The boss of all bosses ;) Kenny has great business and leadership skills and is really sincere in what he says. We dived deeper into a specific problem, and he gave me really pertinent advice and tips for moving forward.

Kenny was immensely helpful. He asked really insightful questions that made me rethink what I was looking for entirely. Then gave me super specific and actionable takeaways. I now have clarity and refreshed excitement.
