What if your biggest struggle was the beginning of your greatest impact? Today on Shine On Success, we're talking to someone who didn't just repair his credit. He rebuilt his life and then went back to pull thousands of others up with him. Kevin Faulkner launched 3B Credit Health LLC in August 2020 with nothing more than a $50 printer, an iPhone and a relentless mission to help others avoid the pain he knew all too well. Fast forward to today. His company has helped over a thousand clients reclaim their financial future, guided by one simple but powerful principle small-time values with real results. But behind every success story is a storm, and Kevin's story has both. So, kevin, let's start right there. What is the one thing you want people to know about you before we even start?
Speaker 2:That I care about people. I think that's the most important thing that any of us can have.
Speaker 1:I mean, it's so great, it's servant leadership at its finest right.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know, that is like. I think that was the biggest thing for me in regards to my growth is when I finally figured out that, oh, this thing is about other people. My growth is when I finally figured out that, oh, this thing is about other people, it's about health, and I'm like, ok, game on, let's go, because I can do that, because you have all these, you know, when you're trying to make it, if you will, whatever that means, but when you're trying to become what society calls successful, we create all this stuff. Most of it's between our ears. So, for me, when I figured out that if I, the more people I elevated and the more people I helped, they'll call me successful.
Speaker 1:For that, let's go, yeah that makes a lot of sense. So what was a wake up call moment? The point where you knew something had to change in your life.
Speaker 2:What you alluded to in the opener when you said that about August of 2020, that's when my wife came to me, and she's a great lady. She came to me and she said, kevin, I can't move forward with you anymore. I mean, you're not going in the right direction. You totally understand that, because we meet a partner and I know you and your husband have a great relationship and y'all are very close and love each other very much and you make a bond together and it's an ethical agreement that we're going to. We're going to honor each other and I was doing my best, but well, I wasn't doing my best.
Speaker 2:I was, I was trying. I was doing my best for who I was at the time. That makes sense. And so she, she said I can't move forward with you. And she was so right. I had had eight jobs in a two-year period. Wow, that's a lot of jobs. That's a lot of jobs. Hey, what I will say to my defense in that is it shows that I don't have any quit in me because I can't drive 100%, there's that.
Speaker 2:It's also why I ended up an entrepreneur, because I'm unemployable.
Speaker 1:I mean, I'm the same. I totally get that, but the fact is that you did keep trying, and that's some people wouldn't. They wouldn't have kept going. So that wake up call moment with your wife was huge. That was 2020 pandemic. It was crazy. That year right, things were going wild. So let's go back to your very first client, because you started 3B Credit Health with next to nothing. So, your first client in Corpus Christi what was going through your mind at that point?
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I was. When Kelly and I separated in August of 2020, I read a book and I really wouldn't recommend this book to anybody for any kind of growth book or whatever. I didn't know what else to do, and I was. I still hadn't accepted accountability at the time. I was trying to, I just didn't. I guess I didn't know enough, maybe to accept accountability at that time, but I was trying to figure out what was going through my wife's mind and I still remember being in the marriage counselor's office with Kelly and looking at both of them and saying you know, look, this is out of my control. What's going on now is it is what it is. We're where we are. I can't control this, but I can promise you I'm going to come out of this a better person.
Speaker 2:So I got a book by a guy called the 3% man and it's really a dating book. I was not trying to date at the time. I was trying to understand how women think. To be quite honest, he said in that book he said read this book 12 to 13 times until you can speak about it on stage. And I'm staying at a buddy's house my best friend that I'd had since the second grade and I didn't have anything else going on. I was working as a vendor in a Home Depot. I was the guy that walks up to you and does bathroom and kitchen remodels. You know that guy that bugs you to death when you try to go get something. So I listened to it.
Speaker 2:I remember I would drive from my buddy's house in Gerald, texas, to Waco, Texas, where I live, and I would listen to this book on Audible and I did what the guy told me because I didn't know what else to do. And it said 12 to 13 times I listened to it but the one thing I I wouldn't recommend that book it's not the greatest book in the world, but one thing that jumped out at me. It said you need a purpose. Your wife wants somebody that has a purpose. So I'm like, okay, I need a purpose.
Speaker 2:So I'm scrolling Facebook and there was a guy that had started a credit repair company that I was following. It was a very small, organic ad and it said if you want to learn credit repair, hit me in the DM. And I sent him a DM and I paid him like 400 bucks I think, and he jumped on a few Zoom calls with me and just kind of taught me the software and taught me a few things. And I was a man possessed and I needed help with my own credit. So I thought, well, I've been following him for a year, he's doing it, I want to do what he's doing and it took off.
Speaker 2:But to answer your question, that's a very long winded answer. But to answer your question about what was I thinking when I got the first client, that is, a homeowner in Corpus Christi, texas. Now I was sitting on the edge of my buddy's bed in a little room he had attached to his house and I'm talking to the realtor on the phone and she says, all right, I'm going to give you a chance here, I'm going to let you work on this client's credit. And I remember hanging up the phone, scared out of my mind and thinking, oh my gosh, I got to learn how to fix credit now.
Speaker 1:So you had no idea what you were doing.
Speaker 2:Well, I was working on my own. You want to talk?
Speaker 1:about imposter syndrome. People talk about imposter syndrome. My credit was in the 500s at that time. Wow, that's pretty low. Yeah, so here you are. You have no idea what you're doing and you did it anyway. So that's right. There is such an amazing entrepreneurial spirit, that's what I was going to say.
Speaker 2:I'm an entrepreneur.
Speaker 1:You never know right. We don't know what it's going to be like and you're not supposed to know what the ending is. You're supposed to just go along and do what you have to do, and I love the surprise of the ending. It's just amazing the things that come out of it when you actually put in the work. So that success must have lit a fire under you. You had to learn quickly on what you had to do to help this person, right? So did you like sit there and think, like okay, is this for real? Like am I doing this for real? Because that is so pinnacle, that point right there that you just made. You had no idea.
Speaker 2:You know, I remember, I remember, dion, that I had never had a client. Nobody had ever in any way, shape or form. Nobody had ever. I always believe that you work for somebody else. So the idea I thought clients were something like you saw on television or something I was so far removed from anything that I could imagine. I remember sitting there, we went to a high school football game that evening right after that phone call and I remember thinking I've got a client, I've got a client and that was the biggest deal to me to have a client.
Speaker 1:I love that you even remember that, because I've been in business so long that I remember my first house that I sold, who that was. But as far as my graphic design business, to say what was the very first design I did, I can't remember. It was 1989. So I'm lucky I remember anything from that year, so it's been a long time. So I, you know, I love this story and you know I met you. I think it's been about four years since you and I've met. So I was almost there at the beginning when, when we, you know, first met and you know I never knew this story until, you know, post one time and I was like, wow, he's got a great story, so let's talk again. How long had you been married at that point?
Speaker 2:We got married in 2018.
Speaker 1:So we're newly married.
Speaker 2:About a year and a half into the marriage, the end of 2018. So a little more than two.
Speaker 1:So you had some tough days. So let me ask you this what did you tell yourself on the tough days, like the ones where most people quit? How did you pick yourself up?
Speaker 2:You know I've thought about this a lot because when you're, I consider myself somebody that that is positioned here on earth is to help other people, to uplift other people. So you want to tap into that and figure out what that, that secret is that, so that you can give it to other people. And you know, I've had other interviewed a lot of people because I used to do a show and you actually were a guest on that show and I've asked a lot of people that question about what is it that makes you hit a low point and what made you not quit. And you, I think you'll appreciate this, you ever see that show. An officer and a gentleman.
Speaker 1:Yes, it's been a long time, but yeah, remember who was it?
Speaker 2:Lou Gossett Jr was the drill sergeant. I believe in that movie, and you had Richard Gere was.
Speaker 1:I remember Richard Gere.
Speaker 2:And so Richard Gere was I believe it was Lou Gossett Jr, who was a great actor, and Richard Gere. And Richard Gere's like on the ground, I don't know he's doing something, he's torturing him in some way and he's a drill sergeant and he says why don't you quit, why don't you quit? And he yelled back at him and he said I don't have anything else, and I think that's where I was in 2020. I think I just I didn't have anything else. I was, there was a, there was the reason I looked at my wife and I looked at that marriage counselor and said I'm going to come out better is because I said right then, and there, never again. Never will I end up with me being not in control of my faith. And so then that on a Thursday night at my friend's house and this is a guy that, again, I had known since the second grade and we're this is 2020.
Speaker 2:So I was born, so I'm 50, 49 years old, I guess, at this time, and so I was pretty late in life I remember sitting at his dining room table and I'm crying from my eyeballs to my toes and I'm saying you know, it's my fault, things are never going to get better. I've got to, I've got to take accountability. It's not my wife's fault, kelly. It's not her fault. It's not my job, it's not where I live, it's not the opportunities, it's not the weather. It's 100 percent me. And that was one of the hardest nights of my life, but it was the most liberating night of my life.
Speaker 1:Kevin, we've all been in these places as entrepreneurs and I always feel like there's a positive in every negative. So that day although you felt it was one of the hardest days for sure, but what came out of it was what we're looking at today, which is a whole different man. Yes, absolutely. So let's talk about the relationship. What happened after you got?
Speaker 2:we got back together in March of 2021. So we were apart about six months and, um, we were great. I mean, I love my wife to death. She's, she's awesome, she. She has been huge for me in my growth. She has played a huge role and her kind of calling me out if you want to put it like that one of the greatest things that ever could have happened.
Speaker 1:Yeah, she definitely called you out. I'm just glad to see that you turned it back around, because there's so many people nowadays that don't. They just move on and you could have lost that opportunity, which I think. You know, jason and I we've had hard times. We've been together for 26 years. We had really difficult times but we decided to stick together and push through it and it's been amazing and I know you know we're going through right now.
Speaker 1:You know you had a liver transplant the guy that doesn't drink, smoke or do drugs and he has to have his liver transplanted from cirrhosis. So you know, I'm thankful that we had the time to build everything that we have, build it back better and do all of that. I mean, we definitely have made our relationship top priority, but it wasn't always this way. So we could have given up. We could have. There was a point that we probably should have, but we didn't.
Speaker 1:And I think that you know kudos to you and Kelly for doing that, because I think a lot of people just don't anymore. They don't try, they give up. It's too easy. It's too easy to find someone scroll on social media and start talking to people, and you know so very proud of you for that. So I'm going to talk a little bit about your business because it's interesting what you do. You help people in some of their worst times of credit and you bring them back. And you know I read something and he said something like you like to go line for line for each client. So tell us a little bit about that success plan you have for 3B Credit.
Speaker 2:Yes, ma'am. So yeah, we have a, we have a plan. I think it's when people say what's the biggest difference between you and other companies? And I think that 3B Credit success plan that we put together for each individual client is really separatist. It takes about three days to put it together and it's where we actually what it is, Dion is. It's our internal plan that we put together on how to get the client where they want to be, based on their goals, and about two years ago I had a light bulb moment and just thought you know, I'm going to start sending this to the client because it's such an amazing plant and they our clients love it, they rave about it. It's where we go through, like you said, line by line, and we look at everything that the client's doing right and what they need to continue doing, Because even if our credit is 400, when we go into their score, there's things on there that we have done correctly. We don't feel that way, but there are.
Speaker 2:So we point those out. So, what you need to lean in on and keep doing then, where you might need to pivot, make some adjustments, and then we will take screenshots of what we're going to be working on on your behalf and circling in red, and give a detailed explanation on exactly what we're going to do. Like I said, it's originally an internal plan that we put together, but we simplified it some in the way we send it to the client where it's really easy to understand. You know credit, as we all know, it's not something they teach in school, it's not something that a lot of people really understand.
Speaker 1:I feel like that's something you really excel at is educating the consumer. So it automatically shifts because they understand their credit. But I want to ask you this question because I think it's important what's a common credit belief that you wish you could erase from everyone's brain?
Speaker 2:Well, that payment history counts as much as it does. It counts. It's huge. It counts. Over 35% or 33% of a credit score is payment history. But there's a lot more to it. So when I see on social media somebody say, and we've all got these things in our industries I know this is a show for for business people and we've all got things that we hear people say and it's like fingernails on a chalkboard to us, it just makes us cringe. And when I see people post somebody posts a question about credit and you go people just say, well, just pay your bills.
Speaker 2:A credit score is a lot more complicated than that. There's a lot more to it. There's people that pay their bills on time and still can't figure out how you get from 700 to 800 and what the overall breakdown is on it and it's really pretty simple. Once you understand, I'll give it to your audience real quick. 33% is payment, or I call it, 35% is payment history, 30% is utilization, 10% is diversity of credit, 10% is newer credit and 15% is older age credit. So you're looking at it from that umbrella and that's what we use to put together that 3B credit success plan.
Speaker 1:So basically what you're saying is they could pay it on time, but if their utilization is super high, that affects it. So I'm a consumer, I pay every month. I never miss my bill, but I have every credit card maxed out.
Speaker 2:Yes, ma'am, absolutely. And I've seen people I've seen a lot of business people because you know, we do what we have to do, we need inventory or something like that. We're going to use the credit cards and maybe our personal guarantee is on those credit cards. So I've seen people's credit drop 100 points just off of utilization alone, and then also credit drop 100 points just off of utilization alone, and then also you don't or go up 100 points. Also, you don't know too about the diversity of credit.
Speaker 2:I'm kind of nerding out on you guys, but there's a point system involved in it that, for example, a 700 credit score is made up of a certain breakdown of points that gets it to that 700. That's where you get the difference between the 500. So you get points removed. If you have a late pay, you get points removed if you have a certain amount of points. If you have three credit cards, you get 40 points towards your credit score. If you have four credit cards how many points did I just say Dion? 40 points, 40 points, yeah, if you have four credit cards, you get 30 points towards your credit score. So it doesn't help you necessarily to have more credit cards, which is another common belief that we tend to think, oh, if I just get these and pay them on time, it's going to be good. But it looks risky to the bank because they're like, if something goes wrong, this person's not going to pay us, they're going to pay them. The bank's always looking out for the bank.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember just being 18 years old and every credit card company was sending me a credit card application, you know, right at 18. And that was a long time ago. So I love that you're doing this because I think it's so important. You know, being in real estate as long as I have it in the mortgage side, you know credit is important to buy a house right. So there's a lot of people that can't buy and may not be able to buy because of things like the utilization, and that for me, even for my own self, has been an issue.
Speaker 1:I know there are certain cards that are super high, you know, like the PayPal or the Venmo cards that are super high and tight, and some I have nothing on, but those ones are affecting my credit and I know that. So you know you've taught me a lot, even years ago, when you were way new at this, when we first talked. So I love the idea that you're doing the success plan. That's really cool. So let's talk about something that I think our clients will love to know what's one client story you'll never forget, one that reminds you why you do this work.
Speaker 2:Well, I had some folks recently and there's so many of them. But I have some folks, and the reason this matters so much to me is because I think, because I struggle so much, I couldn't figure out how to make money, and you know, you and I have had conversations about that in the past. I mean, it was just a mental block for me. I just thought money was so hard to make.
Speaker 2:It was you know I just a lot of us are, that's not an uncommon thing. But so I struggled with because money was so hard for me to come by. I struggled with credit obviously for decades and decades. So these kind of things really matter to me. And I had a.
Speaker 2:I had a couple that that came with me and they were from El Paso and the gentleman said it was about he stayed with me about a year and he said their credit was not good. It was not good at all. It's probably might've been up there in the worst that I've ever seen. And it was him and his wife and they lived in an apartment for that whole year and they had kids, a lot of kids, actually four or five. Their dream was to buy a home and he asked me at the beginning he said if I trust you, are you going to come through? And I remember when I said, man, I said if you follow the program and do what we share with you, it'll pay off for you. And a year later he wrote me a testimonial because they bought a house. Yeah, and we've got a lot of stories like that.
Speaker 1:I'm sure you do. I mean over a thousand clients. I'm sure you have some incredible stories. You know credit is really important to be successful. You know you have to be able to borrow the money when you need it right or buy the equipment when you need it. So for me it's always been a struggle to be I'm being brutally honest Credit to be I'm being brutally honest.
Speaker 1:Credit has been a struggle for me because I have been entrepreneurial my entire adult life, other than the three years I had a job. I was just thinking about something just today about insurance. I didn't have health insurance for 75% of my career. You know I did not have it. So now I take this shot that every three months is $5,000, but my insurance is five bucks. So imagine if I didn't have insurance. It may cost me $600 a month times 12. It's nowhere near the $20,000 for that one shot four times a year.
Speaker 1:So the credit's kind of like it protects you. It's just an. It's amazing because I understand it now more than I ever did thanks to you and obviously I only know this much about it. But I know there has to be some kind of mindset shift for someone when they go from financial shame, which they may think I have bad credit so I'm not good enough right to financial freedom, where I am good enough, I can do anything I want to do, and credit plays a huge part of that. So how do they go from that financial shame to financial freedom?
Speaker 2:We've worked with a lot of entrepreneurs.
Speaker 2:That because a lot of times what happens is in the entrepreneurial journey, is we start doing these things, these we, we, you know, I know you and myself have always been, or not always been, but but we are big on mindset and and, and you know learn, learning and growth, and so you start these processes and then you start your business and you figure out how to make money where your, your credit doesn't catch up as fast. So, if you've like me, for example, in 2020, my credit was not very good I started doing better in life because of the habits. You know we're only a product of our habits. So you start doing better and getting your life together where your credit hasn't caught up yet. Yeah, so that shines a light on the importance of mindset in this, in this game. It truly is. Our clients have to believe in themselves a little bit to trust the process they really do.
Speaker 1:Right and they have to stick to it, which is important too right. They can do it for a couple of months, but if they don't have that definite chief aim, that goal, at the end of it it may be harder for them to continue it. So, for instance, your client wanted to buy a house. So bad that they were willing to do what it takes to do it.
Speaker 2:Nobody in their family had ever bought a house.
Speaker 1:Wow, that's even bigger. That's awesome. What a great story. I love that and I love that you get to share that. These testimonials have to be great. So your company 3B Credit is rooted in small town values. How do you protect that culture as you grow?
Speaker 2:Well, yeah, that's a tough one. But the way as I've gotten better as a man, as a person, I've gotten where I can lean more into my authenticity, into who I am, and be comfortable with that, be comfortable in my own skin. I mean people from Texas are like dude, you got a Texas accent. I mean your accent's out of control, bro. I mean it's, you know it's. But as I've gotten better, start to say older, but better as a person and a man and in this journey, and more confident, I lean more into who I am as an authentic person.
Speaker 2:I was actually listening to your podcast earlier today and you had a young lady on there that was talking about authenticity and social media and this crossed my mind at that time. She was saying it takes a while to become authentic, and I think it does. Just in life in general. I know it has for me to get confident in who I am as a person and be authentic. Well, now I am confident in that and I think I relay that message to my team as we grow and as we build, because I'm always for lack of a better word preaching the importance of being authentic to our clients and just you know, look, we don't have anything to hide here. We're not trying to sell anybody anything. We're just trying to identify the problem, what they're trying to accomplish, and help them. Help them fix it Right, and that's it. It's no more complicated than that, and all that requires is to be yourself.
Speaker 1:So I think what you said is really important, and I had a podcast interview yesterday with a guy. He was so interesting, I really enjoyed it, but something he said to me made a lot of sense. He said 40% of the people will love you, 20% will respect you, the other 40, he says F them all. And he said the F word, but I don't usually use that on my podcast, but he did. But then he said the whole thing that literally changed me is what other people think of you as none of your business.
Speaker 1:When you can be who you are and not worry about what other people think, who cares If they're not walking in your shoes, especially if they've never walked in an entrepreneur's shoes and they're working at a job telling you what you should be doing, there's a problem. It's not. That's not the way we need to learn. We learn from people that are doing better than us. That's hence that's why we met in a mastermind group, right In a group where we're surrounded by entrepreneurs who are doing it and some of them have failed, but guess what? Most of them that are true entrepreneurs get back up and do it again. So you know, I thought he was kind of interesting, it was very funny, but he had a really good point. You're not going to please everyone, but your authentic self. If it pleases you, you're already far ahead of everyone else.
Speaker 2:Yeah, you know I love that Most people. I think I've spent a lot of time with this subject personally and a lot like why. You know, you asked me earlier in the show. You said why, what made you keep going, or whatever, and I think I was beat down to the level that I was so raw from just life and failing that I wasn't afraid of failure anymore. I think I was just at the point where what are they going to do to me? I've already lost everything. I don't have anything else to lose. Yeah, and I think most of the things that hold people back is fear of of judgment from others. I think if we could put that fear of judgment from others down, we could conquer the world and in that, yeah, yes, I agree with you 100%, and so I don't do that anymore.
Speaker 1:I used to worry, I don't, and you know, I just live and be who I am. And if you're 40 for the 40% that don't like me, then so be it. But I have to tell you for the longest time it so be it, but I have to tell you for the longest time it bothered me. If someone said something about me, I'd be like I can't believe they said that about me, like I'm so nice to everyone, but you know what? I cannot be nice too. So I guess I guess there's that. But I love that we've had this conversation, so I want to ask you this what does the next level look like for 3B Credit? Health in you.
Speaker 2:Well, you know your company is is. Your company follows you. So your company is only going to go as far as yourself, as the founders. Your self-development goes and mine is to become the best leader I can become, to grow people. So that's what I'm in the process. I started to say I am shifting, but I'm in the process of, or have shifted, but that's not correct yet I'm in the process of becoming a leader and growing other people, because when I talk to people that are way ahead of me in the game, people that are doing you know eight, nine figures, you know just crazy numbers, it's always about I had good people around me. It's always you know I had a good team and you know we talked about that at the beginning. If you learn how to develop people, you'll never struggle.
Speaker 1:So right now, you know, going through this, you know I have a great foundation at our company, our staff, and you know we have a COO, a broker, we have finance, we have administration and if I, if I, didn't build to this point the way we have, we went through a lot, we made a lot of mistakes, but we're at that point where everything is leveled off, finally that I can take a couple of weeks and take care of my husband, which is my top priority right now. So that that's a great feeling and I do believe that the more authentic I am, the better they are. And I can, I can affect the entire room. If I walk in the office and I'm having a bad day, everyone else is too, and I realized that a couple of years ago how much that effect has and I don't want that. So I shifted and changed that. Not that I'm not authentic, but I know that I don't want to bring in the negative to the office because that's not who I am and that's never who I've been. But people have a way of pushing you to create that negativity and they'll push and push. So I've learned a lot of lessons being an entrepreneur. I am nowhere where I want to be still. I have so many goals, but right now I have to stop everything and focus on the man that's by my side and that's to honor my husband, and that's what I'm doing.
Speaker 1:So it's been a tough couple of years. I'm losing my dad and now my husband. You know, my two strongest men in my life have weakened. One has passed he didn't, you know, but he's not sick anymore, which is good for him. But for us, we miss him terribly, you know, and right now, through this, he would be so helpful to talk to when I'm going through my husband's you know worst thing that he ever had to deal with.
Speaker 1:So, anyways, I love what you said. You're one of the most authentic people I've ever known. I've enjoyed talking to you every time we've talked. In fact, you gave us a social media tip years ago about pinning that post that I have our agents. I constantly bring it up and say remember Kevin Faulkner, because you know he taught us this one little trick that is so great on social media. So thank you for that. So my very final question and then you know we'll get off, which I can sit here and talk to you all day, but this question is when people hear your name years from now. What do you want them to say?
Speaker 2:It's a lot simpler. A lot of people have goals about, like, leaving a legacy and building, you know, multi-million dollar companies and all that kind of stuff, and that's all good. I mean, we're here on Earth, we need to try to, you know, maximize our potential. I think we owe that to God. I think we're put here with a purpose and that's what we need to do is our best. But I think, just going back to what we were talking about a minute ago, when you walk in a room with your team or whoever it may be, their day is only going to go as well as your day is going, and so I think it all starts with one conversation, with each conversation that we have with somebody. So I want to make people you know, he made people's life better. That's what I want.
Speaker 1:Well, you made my life better just knowing you, so thank you for that. So, as we end, I just want to say this you know you don't just fix numbers. You restore hope, and I think that's huge. You took the very thing that tried to break you and turn it into the blueprint to change lives, and that, my friends, is the definition of success with purpose.
