Kyle Talks
Welcome to Kyle Talks, where I’m Kyle and we talk! In this podcast we focus on society, culture, & business! We interview amateurs, professionals, winners and those who are struggling along the way. What can we learn from society and how can we participate in culture? What does creating culture look like for rap artists, producers, youtubers, and even streamers? What’s this health professionals' ideology behind modern science? How can I be better? More important;y, is a hotdog a sandwich? On this podcast our goal is to talk to anyone and everyone. To learn, laugh, cry, and even create with others. We create a culture of communication, learning, and laughs. We sit down with people from all different walks of life, chat with them, and laugh with them. At Kyle Talk’s the name of the game is connection. So, go ahead, download a couple of episodes and get plugged into community and culture! Let’s talk!

What happens when conviction meets compensation?
In this episode of Kyle Talks, Kyle sits with a question that doesn’t have an easy answer. Is it wrong to be paid to spread a message if you genuinely believe in it? And why does the idea make so many of us uncomfortable?
Rather than taking a side, this episode explores the gray space between belief, influence, transparency, and trust. From lobbying and brand partnerships...
In today’s episode, we’re pulling back the curtain on something we all feel but rarely talk about:
Why does so much of what we see online — protests, trends, “viral” moments, political messages — feel engineered?
And more importantly…
Where’s the line between honest persuasion and outright manipulation?
Kyle breaks down the gray area between influence and orchestration, exploring questions like:

In today’s episode, we’re jumping into three real listener questions and each one hits a core part of what this podcast is all about: conversation, courage, and growth.
We talk about:
“Do people actually change their minds?”
I break down why yes, minds can change but not through debate, dunking, or proving someone wrong. Minds change through relationship, respect, and the slow work of understanding.
“Why am I so scare...
This week, I’m doing something different.
After my conversation with Doug Kaplan pollster, public perception expert, and someone who’s spent years studying how Americans think. I walked away with more than just answers. I walked away with perspective.
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the biggest lessons I took from our conversation:
• Why people often believe what they feel, not what they know
and how that shapes everyth...
In this episode of Kyle Talks, I sit down with Doug Kaplan, founder of Kaplan Strategies and a veteran public opinion pollster, to dive deep into what really drives people’s beliefs — and how we can talk to one another more thoughtfully.

In a culture that rewards outrage over understanding, Kyle ...

In this episode of Kyle Talks, we explore what to do when someone goes silent, resists, or withdraws from conversation. Silence is not always rejection, often it’s a defense mechanism. We dig into why people shut down, how pushing harder can backfire, and steps you can take to reopen dialogue in a balanced, respectful way.

In a world where conversations too often spiral into shouting matches or dead ends, is there a better way forward?
