Stephen E Kent

Stephen E. Kent grew up with nothing in Fayette, Mississippi. No wealth. No connections. No roadmap. What he had was a mother who demanded his best — and the discipline to deliver it.

That discipline carried him from poverty to the pinnacle of military service, where he served as a Finance Colonel in the United States Army after more than two decades of leadership at the highest levels. Kent also earned an MBA from Syracuse University, served as the Vice President/CFO for 3 colleges in Twin Cities, MN before he founded Be the Best Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to unlocking potential in others. And ultimately, discipline became the foundation of everything he teaches.

Stephen's debut book, UNSHACKLED: Overcoming Debt, Poverty, and Self-Doubt to Build Wealth, Legacy, and Purpose, is the book he wishes someone had handed him on day one. It is a no-excuse, no-shortcuts guide to building real wealth, real freedom, and a life worth leaving behind, written by someone who had to figure it all out the hard way.

He is also the author of the UNSHACKLED Workbook, a hands-on companion designed to help readers turn insight into action.

Stephen believes one thing above all else: Discipline Creates Freedom.

More books are coming. More is always coming.
