Kendel Christensen | A Passionate Learner
Kendel is a passionate and vivacious learner! Below this biography are extensive show notes from his interview. A native of Herriman, UT and the founder of Learned Empowerment (www.learnedempowerment.com), a company that helps individuals become confident and capable, and take control of their future. As an educator, speaker, and author, Kendel is known for his unbounded enthusiasm for uncovering and conveying life-changing truths in hyper-real ways. From living in the Middle East to teaching in an inner-city high school, Kendel has dedicated his life to exploring all that the world has to offer and then distilling the best wisdom from those experiences. Kendel earned a Masters of Education from the University of Pennsylvania and a B.S. in Sociology from Brigham Young University. Ask him about his progress on memorizing 100 books, growing his personal database of 15,000+ inspiring quotes, or achieving his 140 life goals. He knows the two secrets for getting almost any kid to like you, and can perfectly imitate the sound of a cougar's roar. *biography used with Kendel's permission
