Customer Reviews
Love to Kyle & friends
This is absolutely my favorite podcast (I’ve found myself listening to even more often than other favorites - including Tangentially Speaking, the Tim Ferris podcast, JRE, etc). I find Kyle to be wise beyond his years, an all around inspiring, motivating, and kind-hearted human, as well as a fascinating and increasingly talented conversationalist (rather than interviewer, though that too) 😎
✌️
Informative, actionable and simply a pleasure
I came across this podcast and was instantly hooked. If you like to surf, hunt, learn, grow, or simply enjoy a solid conversation with interesting guests/experts from a plethora of fields, give a listen and feel the stoke.
What a good show
Interview with Molly S was fuego when they started talking about addiction from the perspective of a casual/non junkie user. We don’t get that everyday, always get the war stories from hardcore rock bottom junkies. It’s cool to listen to somewhat normal guests as well instead of Uber famous millionaires like most podcasts. Very thoughtful and great conversationalist. Brings in guest that HE really wants to interview, not just people that will get his views up. I wish I could buy stock in this guy! Keep it going Kyle!
