BECOMING NEXTKNOWN STARTS WITH KNOWING WHO YOU ARE

HI, I'M KINARD.

I believe my primary purpose in life is to help people and companies become the best versions of themselves. That belief has fueled every step of my entrepreneurial journey.

MY STORY

I started my career in the corporate world, leading global teams and strategic initiatives for major organizations.

Over time, I realized that my real strength wasn’t just in execution—it was in connection. I began building brands, launching businesses, and consulting with individuals and organizations looking to grow with purpose.

From founding Empowering Creative to creating impactful campaigns for leaders and nonprofits, my path has always been about unlocking potential in others.

WHY I CREATED NEXTKNOWN

Through every chapter of my career, one thing became clear: personal development, professional growth, community engagement, and meaningful relationships are everything.

Success isn’t just about what you know—it’s about who you are, how you show up, and who you’re connected to.

I created NextKnown to give people the tools, frameworks, and community they need to become visible, valuable, and purpose-driven—on their terms.

MY VALUES

I believe you can be authentically you and still grow into the best version of yourself. In a world driven by algorithms and automation, real connection has become rare—but it’s more important than ever.

NextKnown is designed to bring that connection back. It’s built to help people show up fully, serve others meaningfully, and build the kind of presence that creates real impact. With the right tools and the right people around you, success is no longer a mystery—it’s a process you can master.

Stay Ahead. Stay Known.
