Kenneth Cole: Kenneth Cole

Kenneth Cole, The Founder Hour, Podcast, Interview

Kenneth Cole is an American fashion clothing designer, entrepreneur, and founder of the eponymous company and brand. He founded Kenneth Cole Productions in 1982, which designs men’s and women’s footwear, clothing, and accessories, and has been running the company ever since.

Aside from his business, he has been openly involved in publicly supporting AIDS awareness and research throughout his career. In 2020, he launched The Mental Health Coalition to end the devastating stigma surrounding today’s most prevalent public health crisis.

We really enjoyed getting to know Kenneth and learning about his upbringing, how he started his brand, his key learnings and takeaways over 40 years, why he launched The Mental Health Coalition, and much more.
