The Value Race

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 ...

Look, most people think they're humble...

But they're full of ish.

Here's the truth: I used to be one of those people. Thought I had all the answers. Thought feedback was an attack. Thought constructive criticism meant someone was trying to tear me down.

I was wrong.

DEAD wrong.

You know what changed everything? Getting my ass handed to me by life. Multiple times. Until my ego finally died (and trust me... it needed to).

N...

Most entrepreneurs are trapped in a brutal cycle: sprint hard until you burn out, then stop completely and lose all momentum. Drawing from his experience scaling a dealership while juggling overwhelming daily responsibilities, Kyle reveals the fatal flaw in "slow and steady wins the race" thinking - it only works if your competition stops running. Discover why sustainable success requires running both fast and long, how t...

In this episode of the Value Race Podcast, I examine the powerful impact of our thoughts through the lens of self-fulfilling prophecies, referencing insights from Jim Rohn and Tony Robbins. I share my struggles with negative thought cycles during tough entrepreneurial periods and emphasize the importance of focusing on gratitude and positivity. By shifting our perspectives, we can shape our reality and attract more success. I encou...

My business is getting its butt kicked. More cars, more ads, more staff... still losing deals.

My wife and I got into it over something I've NEVER talked about publicly. Something that made me question everything about how I show up as a husband.

My back injury? Nearly broke me. Like... I didn't want to get out of bed level broke me.

Look, I could've sugar-coated this episode. Made it sound all motivational speaker-y. B...

Think you're the only one struggling this year? Think again. Most entrepreneurs are facing their toughest season yet but suffering in silence. Drawing from the most challenging year of his business career and a powerful spiritual retreat, Kyle reveals why isolation during difficult times makes everything worse - and how surrounding yourself with the right people can provide breakthrough when you need it most. Discover why diff...

Think time's screwing you over? STOP.

Listen... we ALL get stuck between hating our past mistakes and freaking out about tomorrow. Meanwhile, TODAY is slipping through our damn fingers.

I've been there. 10 YEARS locked up. Then building a business from nothing but a crappy 100 sq ft office with no A/C and barely room for 4 cars.

Here's the truth: that feeling of being "behind" is complete BS.

Six years ago I po...

Think being tough means having NO FEAR? Dead wrong. I spent my 20s playing tough guy because I thought that's what men do... and that led me down some DARK paths.

Look, fear isn't weakness - it's your body's alarm system! Sometimes that alarm is saying "DON'T JUMP OFF THE DAMN BUILDING" (thank you, fear). Other times it's just your past trauma screaming when growth is knocking.

I've built ...

Think you'll eventually "arrive" at success? Kill that noise.

I've been chasing these massive visions for YEARS, and you know what I realized? The goalposts keep moving. Just when I think I'm there... BOOM... I've already pushed it further.

Look, I had this VA project sitting on my back burner for A YEAR AND A HALF. Could've been crushing content, making more money, reaching more people... but I nev...
