    Episode 26 - Kyle Orth

    Send a text Episode 26 — Kyle Hunter Kyle Orth was a danger to society. If he didn't like you, that was a bad thing. If he did like you, that was a different kind of bad thing. Because Kyle was strong, violent, had a broken moral compass, and did everything to the extreme, he was a threat. But he was also a top 1% salesperson. This meant he could talk anyone into doing anything. That proved to be extremely destructive. He spent half his life between the age of 14 and 34 incarcerated. When he was in prison, he was a threat - once beating a guard so badly that he earned himself months in "the hole." When he was out of prison, he was a threat - running a criminal enterprise, making big money as a car salesman, which allowed him to hide the other money he was making illegally. All that money was gas on fire. Kyle wasn't just destroying his own life. He was a flaming tornado of destruction, wiping out other people's lives. If you were already on a destructive path, he'd pour gas on that too. But then, God. Buckle up for this powerful testimony, and be on the lookout for Kyle's upcoming movie on Netflix!
