“There are two types of driven people: those who inspire you and those who exhaust you. The difference is alignment between what they want and why. Those who know what they want and are in agreement with why they want it, drive fast, are at peace, and inspire everyone they encounter.”

The beginning

Growing up in an entrepreneurial home where self-improvement and the pursuit of curiosity and inspiration were the norm, Kevin ardently pursued both athletics and business ideas. He became a nationally ranked BMX racer in grade school and by his senior year of high school, he was an elite (road) cyclist soon to turn pro. He started a window tinting business out of his parent’s garage at age 15 to fund his athletics and saw opportunity in every idea.

He raced as a pro and elite cyclist until age 32 while he and his wife owned a large cycling team, club, and event company. They started the first cycling race video company and hosted the 2002 United State Cycling Federation National Championships in downtown Nashville, TN.

An Evolution Begins

Kevin married his wife Teri in 1993. Soon after, their first child was born with serious complications from a brain hemorrhage. It rocked them. At the time, he was rising up the ranks in the pro circuit. However, with his son's needs, he quit. He didn't get back in the saddle until two years later when Teri bought him a bike and told him to go ride, citing that he was a better man when he was training.

He went on to a prolific cycling career and to start multiple businesses, including a successful online membership, Free Agent Academy with over 1,000 members. They regularly testified to Kevin's ability to help them remove the real and perceived obstacles of personal and business growth.

In 2014, after being invited to speak for the Ziglar corporation on self-employment, Kevin had a historic day with Zig Ziglar, recording one of Zig's last interviews. Following a friendship with Zig's son Tom and then Zig's death, Kevin was asked to revive the dormant Ziglar Show podcast and help bring Zig's message to the masses.

The show rose to prominence quickly with guests such as Seth Godin and Dave Ramsey and Kevin's knack for grappling with the messages and translating the wisdom of self-help into easily actionable clarity.

Along the journey, Kevin’s family expanded with nine children and they fulfilled their dream to build a large, self sustainable house of straw (literally) in a national forest in the Rockies. He continues to broadcast his podcast from there today.

Along with all the triumphs came plenty of challenges and faceplants, both professionally and personally. Kevin had some insecurity in his self-image and often drove fast without being clear about the direction, or what exactly was driving him in certain areas of his life. This caused a lot of heartache and sabotaged many of his successes.
It became acutely clear that drive alone does not create the kind of success he yearned for.

His limitless, no excuses, and highly driven lifestyle finally found its limit. He realized all the drive and achievement had not gained him what he truly wanted most; peace

The Shift

Through his own struggles and revelations, Kevin discovered his unique genius as he ardently researched self-help and personal development. His personal experiences helped him see within the wisdom of our greatest minds to where people struggle. His ability to reach in and grapple with the concepts of transformation and how to apply them in the nitty-gritty of real life has made him a favorite of his guests and his growing audience.

As Kevin’s journey matured, the podcast continued to grow. In their effort to continue to evolve the show and better serve an ever growing audience, Kevin and the Ziglar family rebranded the show to “What Drives You, with Kevin Miller”. Today the show is ranked in the top 1% of all podcasts and continues to grow rapidly every day.

Kevin writes and podcasts from his home and nearby studio at 9,200' above sea level in the Colorado Rockies where five of his nine kids (and four grandkids) still live at home. He continues to race mountain bikes at the expert level and push his body to new levels of wellness and functionality.

The Flow

In addition to being daddy, handyman, author, and podcaster, he spends much of his days out in the wilderness, running, mountain biking, hiking, and communing with God as he continues his ever-evolving quest for his own peace and fulfillment.

“You have all the drive you need. Just as much as anyone else. When you align your inner drive with your core values, the life you want becomes possible.”
