  • Believing in Invisible Progress | Ep 125
    Jul 29 2025

    Progress feels invisible when you're grinding through the hardest parts of building something meaningful. Drawing from his second lesson learned during 10 years of incarceration, Kyle reveals why the most significant growth happens when you can't see it - and why that uncomfortable feeling is actually proof you're moving forward. Discover why there's no such thing as overnight success, how discomfort signals real change is happening, and practical steps for maintaining faith in your process when results feel distant. Essential for anyone questioning whether their daily efforts are actually working.

  • Holes in the Bucket | Ep 124
    Jul 22 2025

    Look... I'm gonna be real with you.

    This year has been rough.

    You know that feeling when you're building momentum... eight years of grinding, everything clicking, staff trained up, leads flowing, property deals happening...

    And then it all just... stops.

    Staff left. Marriage got rocky. Leads dried up. Property deals stalled.

    It's like watching everything you built start falling apart piece by piece.

    And yeah, we lost money. $17K one month, another $10-15K the next.

    (That's not supposed to happen when you've been at this for eight years.)

    Here's what nobody tells you about momentum...

    Sometimes it just disappears.

    Not because you're doing anything wrong. But because growth gets messy.

    When you're spending $40-50K a month in overhead, every mistake costs you. You need 20 cars at $2,500 profit each just to break even.

    Miss a few sales? You're in the red.

    But here's the thing...

    When your bucket has holes, you don't sit there frustrated about the leaking water.

    You find the holes. And you plug them.

    One at a time.

    Even when it feels like you're playing whack-a-mole.

    This episode is for every entrepreneur who's felt like their momentum just... vanished.

    Time to find those holes and get back to work.
