Businessman and Community Philanthropist Glenn Kinsey sits down with Jeffrey Goodman, Director of Marketing and Development for the YMCA of Northwest Louisiana, to answer the following questions:
0:28 1. I could cover so much ground with you here as you and your family presently and historically are one of the most important families in the Shreveport-Bossier community.
Let’s start here today.
You have said that your dad, Norman’s, greatest business achievement was the founding of transcontinental gas pipeline. Tell me about this.
3:02 2. Your mom, Peggy, was a force for this community. She believed passionately in education and garnered numerous awards and recognitions in her lifetime for her extraordinary community involvement.
Tell me about Peggy and some of her incredible work to make our community better.
4:42 3. Together with your siblings, you own and manage Kinsey Interests, a family office active in oil and gas, real estate, timber, and public and private equity, based here.
Kinsey Interests employs almost 500 individuals in North Louisiana and over 5000 individuals across the globe through their direct investments in more than 35 companies.
I have heard people describe our community and the process of trying to address some of its challenges as eating an elephant, one bite at a time.
As a family who is extraordinarily philanthropic and always giving, talk to me some about your process. How do you determine where to focus your efforts and contributions in a community that could use so much investment, attention, and support?
19:48 4. You know, from previous conversations that we’ve had that I’m a huge fan of the documentary you helped put together several years back.
Tell me about the Soundbreaking project. How it came about and your involvement with it.
25:56 5. In 2011, your father Norman received the very prestigious honor of Louisiana Legend. During his acceptance speech he ended with the following,
“Although I have had the means and the freedom to locate practically anywhere on the planet, Shreveport and LA is my choice.”
What keeps you and your family here and so committed to this community?
