Meet Kendal Kirkland

Today we’d like to introduce you to Kendal Kirkland.

Kendal, we appreciate you taking the time to share your story with us today. Where does your story begin?
I was born & raised in San Diego, California. Former state champion basketball player from Lincoln High School, I earned my degree in Public Administration from San Diego State University. Finishing college, I really didn’t know what I wanted to do in life besides become an entrepreneur. I began my professional work career as operations manager for a variety of transportation companies, at the same time I started getting into acting and modeling and studying what it takes to be an entrepreneur. I ended up getting my real estate license and didn’t make much money making daily prospecting calls; however, I learned the value of hard work. I ended up getting certified as a personal trainer and started my own fitness company training clients. Things went great for a year, but I wanted more out of life. I ended up quitting everything and moving to Los Angeles, California. I went to a bunch of auditions, got signed to new agencies and started a credit repair company with my friend Sheldon Martin helping people get their credit to the next level. Although I didn’t make money in real estate, I noticed a lot of people couldn’t acquire real estate because they had a terrible credit score.

While running a successful credit repair enterprise, I started a few automation stores & online businesses to help people in a variety of areas. I ended up getting on USAs Temptation Island and my entire life changed, people were more interested in who I was as a person. I got a lot of backlash for some of the things that transpired on the show, however, I decided to use that experience to help other people. I now have dedicated my life to helping people grow financially, mentally, health-wise and even in relationships. Among running the credit repair enterprise, I started booking more commercials and roles in films. I will be shooting some large projects this year and excited for everything coming. Among the acting and television world, I still run the credit repair company, recently started a Tik Tok agency to help businesses grow, tun automated businesses and became a public speaker. My goal is to use the lessons that I have learned throughout my life to help people become the best versions of themselves. My road has never been easy, I’ve just stayed consistent. I am also releasing music this year to expand my brand. I believe I can do anything, especially with God being in the midst of everything I do. I’ve completely changed my life since reality television and I want to continue to grow as a man and business professional. I have a bunch of E-books on various topics like showing people how to fix their own credit, growing on social media and even how to lose weight. I am launching a Youtube channel and Podcast where I will discuss my growth as a man and entrepreneur.

Can you talk to us a bit about the challenges and lessons you’ve learned along the way. Looking back would you say it’s been easy or smooth in retrospect?
It has been extremely difficult. One of the hardest things I had to deal with was tearing my achilles tendon; it stopped me from going to auditions, shooting content and staying active. I had to learn how to walk again and how to motivate myself in the toughest times.

I also still deal with a bunch of hate on social media because of my actions on Temptation Island; they don’t realize I am a renewed person.

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
I am reality television star/actor and entrepreneur. I am known from my appearance on Temptation Island and being in nationally syndicated commercials. I’m different from other creatives because I am always looking for a new way to reinvent myself and grow. I want everything I do to be wholesome and be led by God. I’ve been blessed throughout my life and I know my testimony will be able to help others around the world. I recently started a project with my partner Mark Jones called HUW; Health Unity & Wealth where we provide free nutrition and fitness coaching for clients. This is a season to give back to others. Everyone deserves to be healthy! I am also still helping people fix their personal and business credit everyday; my goal is to help everyone I can become the best version of themselves in every way possible. New music, new youtube show and new TikTok agency will help soooooo many people this year!

What makes you happy?
Helping clients and putting a smile on someone’s face makes me the happiest. One thing I learned early on is that people won’t always remember what you do, but they will remember how you made them feel. I’ve impacted so many lives on set through business and daily encounters and I love leaving a positive mark. Nothing makes me happier than bringing value to another person.

I am starting a Youtube Channel to simply give out information for free! To help other aspiring creators and entrepreneurs get to the next level.
