Hey, I'm Devon Kennard! 

​

I’m a nine-year NFL veteran, award-winning author, real estate investor, and entrepreneur passionate about achieving financial freedom and helping others do the same. Born and raised in Phoenix, Arizona, I spent over a decade living in other states while pursuing my NFL career. Today, my family and I are back in Arizona, building a life we love—hot summers and all!

During my time in the NFL, I realized that true wealth isn’t just about earning money but about building financial security and freedom for the future. That’s when I began actively investing in real estate, building a portfolio that now includes 29 personally owned properties, 50 real estate syndication investments as an LP, and over $5 million consistently loaned out through my private lending company, 42 Solutions.

In 2023, I published my first book, It All Adds Up: Designing Your Game Plan for Financial Success, where I challenge readers to redefine their version of the American Dream and show how consistent progress leads to life-changing results. In 2024, I released my second book, Real Estate Side Hustle: 4 Passive Strategies to Build Wealth Beyond Your Day Job, a practical guide for busy professionals to build wealth. Both books have been recognized for their impact, making me an award-winning author who is passionate about sharing strategies that work in the real world.

Today, my professional focus is on building my family’s financial success while helping others, especially athletes and other busy professionals, achieve financial freedom outside of their day jobs. Through my social media channels, newsletters, and speaking engagements, I share my lessons, insights, and actionable strategies to help others grow wealth and design a life they love.

Whether it’s on podcasts, at live events, or through my charitable work, I believe in connecting with people to exchange ideas, share stories, and learn from one another. My journey—from a student-athlete in Phoenix to USC, to playing nine NFL seasons, to launching and running a thriving real estate and lending business—has had its challenges, but it’s also been filled with incredible opportunities.

I want to help you unlock your potential, achieve financial freedom, and design a life you love. Let’s grow together as a community, one step at a time.
