Episode 25 – Sink or Swim: Kenny Miller on Beating Cancer, Building a Business, & Choosing Gratitude
In this episode, I sit down with Kenny Miller, whose story is as much about grit as it is about grace. At just 22 years old, what began as a stubborn cold spiraled into something unthinkable—within three weeks, Kenny was diagnosed with a cancerous tumor in his chest. The fight that followed tested his resilience and permanently reshaped his priorities.
From his early days in retail at Best Buy to building a thriving landscaping business from scratch, Kenny’s path has been defined by bold choices. When he was laid off in 2016, with a mortgage and little margin for error, he decided to gamble on himself—buying equipment on credit and turning a side hustle into a multi-million-dollar operation with a growing team. Along the way, he found love, welcomed a daughter after a difficult fertility journey, and came to see each day as a blessing.
This is a conversation about the moments when it’s easier to play it safe but more rewarding to bet on yourself. Kenny reminds us that the greatest measure of success isn’t just what you build—it’s how you live, love, and appreciate the second chances life gives you.
