On this episode of Take This Down, Ty Stimpson sits down with Jimmy Kinley, CEO of Kinley Construction, to talk about leadership, legacy, and what it means to put people first.
Jimmy reflects on taking the reins of a 130-year-old family business, the responsibility that comes with generational leadership, and how stepping away from comfort helped him rediscover purpose. He opens up about faith, fatherhood, and the intentional practices he uses to stay grounded while leading hundreds of people.
The conversation also explores Jimmy’s deep commitment to philanthropy—from building playhouses for Make-A-Wish families to co-chairing the American Heart Association Heart Walk and raising over $1 million by focusing on blue-collar workers and veterans. Jimmy explains why genuine care can’t be faked, especially in the blue-collar world, and how culture, consistency, and compassion define lasting leadership.
This episode is an honest, thoughtful look at stewardship, service, and building a legacy that extends far beyond business.
