More than 15 years ago, I started a business with the promise that I would give 10% to help make a difference. Never in my wildest dreams did I think we would have been able to not only give what we’ve given, but also to be able to build such a great team. We are ready to take everything we have learned and go to the next level. We are excited about breaking the chains of generational poverty and helping young adults build generational wealth. When I started In the beginning, all I needed was one person to believe in me. With Kainos Academy, we are that one person that believes in you.
