The Value Race

You ever get to that point where you're like... what am I even doing this for?

I'm not talking about depression or some existential crisis. I'm talking about that real moment when you're grinding, pouring yourself out, and it FEELS like you're screaming into the void. Like nobody's listening. Nobody cares. And honestly? I had that moment today.

I've been recording this podcast for like 140, 150 days...

Look… 2025 is wrapping up whether you're ready or not.

And Kyle's not here to blow smoke. He's here to tell you what he's actually doing to close out the year, and what you should probably be doing too.

This episode is the real talk your accountant won't give you. The stuff you think about at 2am when you're staring at your P&L wondering where the hell all that money went.

Kyle gets into:

• Actually ...

Kyle returns from a Warriors for Christ fly-in event with a raw and

  vulnerable reflection on personal accountability and leadership. After

  bringing his wife to spend the weekend with his brotherhood in Allentown,

  Pennsylvania, Kyle confronts a hard truth: he was disappointed in

  himself—not because the event failed, but because he realized he wasn't

  living up to the standard he knew he should set.

  In this deeply pers...

In this solo episode, Kyle opens up about feeling trapped in "quicksand" for nearly two years despite consistent work at his dealership. Through a revealing text conversation with mentor Trevor Cowley from the Real Business Owners podcast, he unpacks the dangerous trap of expecting faster results once you've achieved some success.

Key topics covered:
  - Why business growth follows the same pattern as gym progress...

Kyle returns to sharing the eight lessons learned during his incarceration with lesson number four: Unity, Love, Respect, and Loyalty of Your Brothers in Arms. Success is not a solo journey - true strength comes from the people you surround yourself with. But here's the truth most people miss: it's not just about cutting off negative people; it's about whether YOU deserve the quality relationships you desire. Kyle ex...

In this game-changing episode, Kyle reveals the counterintuitive principle that transformed his approach to business growth: vision doesn't come from planning - it comes from doing. Take a behind-the-scenes look at his 90-day software stack overhaul journey that taught him the most valuable lesson of his entrepreneurial career.

What started as a simple systems upgrade became a profound discovery about how entrepreneurs actually...

Look... you feel like you're too busy, too stressed, too caught up in the daily grind to change your life. But here's what'll blow your mind: the problem isn't that you can't change. The problem is that you haven't created the non-negotiables that force you to show up differently.

Kyle leans hard into accountability in this episode after a real admission—he missed two weeks of podcast recording for the ...

I visited a dealership doing 300 units a month while I'm grinding to hit 30. You'd think I'd come back discouraged, right?

Wrong.

Here's what hit me: we're not that different. Our foundation's actually stronger. We just haven't been in the game long enough.

Look, I've been questioning everything lately. A year and a half of resistance will do that to you. Make you wonder if you're the probl...

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

I didn't even know who Charlie Kirk was three days ago.

But watching people celebrate a man getting murdered in front of his KIDS? That broke something in me. And before you come at me about politics or whatever—just stop. This ain't about left or right.

This is about me spending 10 years locked up for attempted murder, then watching "normal" people act like someone's d...

In this episode of The Value Race Podcast, I open up about a powerful lesson I recently revisited with my mentor, Arthur Hughes (who’s still serving a life sentence in Florida).

You’ve probably heard the advice: “Don’t look back, only focus on the future.” But here’s the truth: that’s not just bad advice, it’s unbiblical.

The last two years in business have been some of the hardest I’ve faced. After six years of steady growth: landin...

Let’s get honest for a sec.
I’m not here to play at life, and if you are, well, that’s your business. But around here? We burn hot. We talk about accountability, but for real, not just on a motivational poster. This is about sweating, swearing, building, and sometimes falling flat on your backside… then getting up and doing it again.

Yeah, I’ve missed shots. Messed up deals. Upset a client (or three). That stuff stings, but let...

What if I told you that everything you've been taught about believing and seeing is backwards?

In this episode, I want to shoot it straight with you about something that's been revolving through my mind. You know how most people say "I'll believe it when I see it"? Well, I've learned that's actually the opposite of how success really works.

Here's what I've discovered: When we believe some...

Look... I counted every single day.

3,650 days behind bars. Yeah, I'm that guy who literally counted down a DECADE of his life in a Florida prison.

But here's the thing that'll blow your mind...

Those weren't stolen years. They were GIVEN years.

I know, I know... sounds crazy coming from someone who lost everything, right? But stick with me here because this episode is about the third lesson that changed my entire d...

Most entrepreneurs hit a wall when their hustle stops producing results. Drawing from a challenging season of team changes and system failures, Kyle reveals the hidden truth about business growing pains: what feels like failure is often the signal you're ready for your next evolution. Discover why outgrowing your ability to muscle through problems is actually a sign of success, how to spot the glimmers of hope that point you f...

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 rea...

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...

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

This year has been straight up BRUTAL. Like, wake-up-and-question-everything brutal.

I'm talking about those mornings when you stare at your bank account and think, "What am I even doing?"

You know what I'm talking about. That gut-punch feeling when you're working harder than you've EVER worked... and your revenue looks like it's going backwards.

Yeah. That&apo...

Listen up...

You're LYING to yourself if you think you're gonna magically start crushing life when your situation gets "better."

I spent a DECADE locked up. Ten years. And you know what I learned?

The guys waiting for release to "really start living"? They never did ANYTHING when they got out.

But the ones who figured out how to WIN inside those concrete walls? Man... they came out UNSTOPPABLE.

Here's ...

Everything changed when Kyle realized his biggest setback was actually his greatest teacher. Drawing from exactly eight years of freedom after ten years of incarceration, Kyle reveals the eight transformative lessons that not only helped him survive prison but continue to drive his success today. From "do your time, don't let your time do you" to understanding that there's no such thing as coincidence, discover ...
