As a child, Kevin was taught to be polite—to say “please” and “thank you.” You could say that he learned a cursory form of gratitude at an early age.

Years later, a mentor recommended that he give thanks for three things he was thankful for before his feet hit the floor every morning—a slightly deeper experience of gratitude. On most days, he complied.

However, it was during a bout of depression in early 2018 when Kevin began to discover the true power of gratitude and embrace gratitude as a lifestyle. He realized that his early expressions of gratitude were anemic and bordered on robotic. As such, they failed to tap into the power of gratitude that neuroscientists and positive psychologists talk about.

As he adopted gratitude as a lifestyle, he began incorporating gratitude into his work. Whether that was speaking engagements, training or coaching sessions, or his podcast, he started sessions by asking people to pause and express gratitude for something.

Then, in June 2019, he was inspired to host a gratitude challenge. So he did. At first, it was in conjunction with his podcast. He hosted a 10-Day Gratitude Challenge to celebrate the 100th episode milestone. It was a tremendous success with almost 300 participants, and by the second day, a 100-person waitlist.

So, he launched a second session of the challenge. And it grew—organically and globally. By the fifth session, more than 1,000 people from 40-plus countries had participated, and by the 10th session, that number grew to over 2,000 people from more than 50 countries. Somehow, Kevin had tapped into the power of gratitude and people’s hunger for it.

In October 2025, Kevin decided to focus most of his attention on the healthcare community. He is exuberant to empower caregivers with gratitude and hope so they can transform patient care!
