An Inspired Chat with Sven Kennedy

We’re looking forward to introducing you to Sven Kennedy . Check out our conversation below.

Sven, really appreciate you sharing your stories and insights with us. The world would have so much more understanding and empathy if we all were a bit more open about our stories and how they have helped shaped our journey and worldview. Let’s jump in with a fun one: What makes you lose track of time—and find yourself again?
Definitely being out in a forest or deep in nature, I find myself losing track of time and becoming like a curious child again. It’s not so much finding myself again , as it is letting that inner child free to frolick and play. I believe from time to time we must let that part of us free, from the cage made of comfort and security, we build around the innocent and curious side of ourselves. Nature has always fascinated me with its complex chaos and surreal beauty.

Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Greetings, I’m Sven Kennedy, I am Scandinavian Scottish Cherokee. I love making movies, music, art and mayhem.
I enjoy helping people when I can, making art with my hands and building beautiful memories with amazing friends. I am currently working on building an action adventure film trilogy that I’m very excited about seeing. Also I have started a YouTube channel to follow my adventures and shenanigans traveling around to different continents looking for incredible and surreal filming locations or just side quests.

Thanks for sharing that. Would love to go back in time and hear about how your past might have impacted who you are today. Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I would say my mother, who I believe saw her curious wild nature and big heart reflected in me. She always encouraged adventures and to have courage even when faced with adversity.

Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
I have almost gave up many times only to keep going. To give up on ourselves and our dreams is a betrayal of who we are. Just keep going, one step at a time, every day meeting small goals that bring you closer to your big goals and gives you confidence to face new challenges. The next time you think about giving up on a goal or a dream just think about how amazing it will be when you accomplish it and focus on that.

Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
Working in the film industry, on the film projects I’m creating, building a cozy farm and starting a family are the projects I’m committed to focusing on in my life.

Okay, so let’s keep going with one more question that means a lot to us: When do you feel most at peace?
I find I’m the most peaceful when in the mountains and forest regardless if I’m working or just relaxing.
