Kenny Troutt began his career selling life insurance and used the funds to pay for his tuition at Southern Illinois University. He founded a long distance phone company, Excel Communications, in 1988 and took it public in 1996. He merged it two years later with Teleglobe in a $3.5 billion deal, and reinvested the profits in stocks, bonds and horses. He sponsors his two sons' nationally competitive youth basketball teams, which integrate disadvantaged families with middle- and upper-class ones. He also enjoys horse racing and owns Winstar Farm, in Versailles, KY. He ranks 25th on the Center for Responsive Politics' list of top individual political contributors.

- Kenny was raised in the housing projects of east St. Louis by his single mom. She was a powerful force in his life and those who knew Kenny heard many stories about 'Mama Nadine'.
- He had no use for excuses for inaction (do you want to make money or excuses?) and he heard plenty of excuses from a sales force of network marketers who knew zippo about the phone business and were commissioned to take customers away from "Ma Bell", the giant monopoly who had owned that biz forever.
Therefore, we heard the following story many times and it's still my favorite. It is appropriate to Merchant Guard Agents today because ALL OF YOU are commissioned to get merchant-customers in an industry that you know little about.
- When you are wavering over calling or dropping by that merchant today, go stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself this:
- When you are wavering over calling or dropping by that merchant today, go stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself this:
- "Mirror, mirror on the wall: who's going to save that merchant on his processing fees?"
