About

Kenny DeSoto (Left) & Eli McGanal (Right) the Founders of Accountable-A-Buddy

People are our special interest, so behavior as data points, situational pattern-seeking, and problem-solving humans is how Kenny and Eli learned to thrive personally and professionally. Both of them were late diagnosed Autistic and ADHD. Working together, they have created a framework that has helped them connect with and motivate the people around them. Through their workshops and case studies, they realized that this system simplifies what other coaching frameworks make complex to help you understand what you need to begin, get in, and stay in motion.

Welcome to a world of limitless possibilities, where the journey is as exhilarating as the destination and where every moment is an opportunity to make your mark on the canvas of existence. The only limit is the extent of your imagination. What better way to embark this journey? No Buddy should do this alone.

Kenny DeSoto
Chief Accountable-A-Buddy

Kenny brings a unique blend of narrative insight and psychological strategy to the team. Currently pursuing his Master’s in Psychotherapy at The Chicago School, Kenny draws on his background in journalism, visual storytelling, and user experience to help people reframe their personal narratives. As the co-creator of the Accountable-A-Buddy framework, he is on a mission to upend traditional mentorship. Kenny believes that classic “life-coaching”—telling people what to do—fails to keep them moving. Instead, he acts as a consistent partner on the journey, helping individuals unlock their own intrinsic motivation to create lasting momentum.

Eli McGanal
Chief Possible-A-Buddy

As the Chief Vision Officer at Ekkobar and former Chief Possibility Officer at WeCreate Media, Eli has spent more than two decades unlocking human potential. While he has a proven track record of delivering results for global brands, his true passion lies in people. Through his innovative Possibility Storm Framework, Eli empowers everyone from struggling employees and neurodivergent individuals to C-Suite executives to unlock their full power. Eli believes we cannot separate our professional selves from our personal selves. By addressing the whole person, he helps individuals find the alignment and balance they need to show up inspired, both at the office and at home.

What is a Buddy?

Every superhero has a sidekick. Accountable-A-Buddy meets you where you are and will guide you based on your own hero’s journey. A Buddy shows up, listens, problem-solves, and holds you accountable to the things that are most important to you. No hero can exist without their sidekick showing up exactly when they need them.

“U” in Buddy

How are you? If we take away the material life that you’ve built (and deserve), how are you at this very moment? We want to take in everything you have experienced and currently building in order to be helpful. If U are not feeling fulfilled, that is ok. The “U” in “Buddy” is about really understanding if you are thriving or if you are existing. If you are living the dream that existed before, how can we make sure that you are living life and life is not living you? We want to make sure as your Buddy, we hold space for you to show up as you are. Every Buddy is welcome. 

Value-Based Goal Setting

We simplify the complex. We are constantly dealing with the hecticness of life. If we can simplify your purpose into two values, we can build a bridge of understanding. With this new understanding, we are able to guide you based on who you are at your core. We can proactively set goals and hold you accountable based on the values that keep you in motion.
