On this episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with Kyle Wimberley, a contestant on Netflix’s reality competition show Million Dollar Secret. Kyle’s Southern charm and focus on wellness instantly stood out to me. We dove into his journey, including his surprising lack of prior experience with reality TV before landing a spot on this hit show.
Kyle opened up about his casting process, sharing how he faced several near-misses with other reality programs before finally getting his shot. His genuine and adaptable approach to the game was refreshing, and he expressed his surprise at the overwhelmingly positive public reception he’s received.
One of the most heartfelt moments was when we swapped stories about growing up with very little. Kyle shared how those experiences shaped his grit, determination, and deep appreciation for the opportunities he’s had in life. We also talked about the deep influence his single mother and stepdad have had on his life, from shaping his character to introducing him to hunting. Kyle didn’t hold back when discussing his time on the show—sharing stories about his favorite and least favorite challenges, life in the chateau, what motivated him to win, and even his thoughts on returning to reality TV in the future.
Stay tuned for rapid fire questions at the end. This conversation is packed with honesty, humor, and insight.
