on this episode of Scale with Pros we sit down with Devon Kennard. He shares how questioning his future in the NFL led him to build real wealth through disciplined investing and business ownership. In this episode, we break down why great deals fail without great operators, how cash flow beats hype, and the costly mistakes successful people make after their first big win. Devon explains his shift away from traditional real estate and “passive income” toward building a lean, high-margin lending business. If you’re an athlete, founder, or high-earner looking to protect and compound capital, this conversation will change how you think about money.
