Kendall Schoenrock
Kendall Schoenrock is a researcher, writer, and podcast host fascinated by the foundational learning environments that shape human behavior. With a background in entrepreneurship and systems-level business thinking, Kendall brings a structured, pattern-seeking perspective to conversations about leadership, performance, and society.
Through Hidden Foundations, Kendall’s mission is to conduct a study of human behavior that reveals what actually shapes resilient, high-performing adults, so he can become a better father to his two daughters.
Each conversation is part of a deeper exploration into the family systems, learning environments, and human behaviors that forge leaders. What began as a journey for his own home has grown into a living body of research designed to help the next generation stand taller than the last.
Our Mission
To reveal the family forces that forge leaders to help listeners lead better, at home and at work.
Why Hidden Foundations?
The podcast launched in January 2026 with a simple premise: the most important ideas are often the ones we don’t see. Like the foundation of a building, these hidden structures support everything above them. By bringing these foundations into view, we can better understand the study of human behavior, and improve the world we live in.
