He has written billboards above LAX, viral commercials seen by over a hundred million people, and steered better-for-you brands to cultural relevance with breakthrough advertising ideas. Kyle is represented by DiFiore Literary Agency and is in the process of publishing his first book.
A brilliant podcast that shows the interconnectedness of us all.
I have been listening to Kyle’s podcast since 2016. I started a listening as a surfer based in the UK of a similar age and feel like I’ve been on a bit of a journey with Kyle over the last 4 years - his humility and empathy shine through with his guests and I’d highly recommend this podcast to anyone interested in life in its many facets, be that spirituality, society or surfing. My wife and I now both listen regularly and will often discuss topics together. If I had to pick my favourite episode, it would be episode 19 with JF, a rabbit hole that has continued for me for the last 4 years! Cheers Kyle!

Keep it up Kyle!
I’ve listened for a good while and as time has gone on Kyle has grown as a podcaster and interviewer. There’s been some really inspiring and interesting guests on and I hope you continue to expand yours and our knowledge of the hidden treasures that are unsung characters in our world. Thank you Kyle.

Inspiring naivety
A warm-hearted podcast with a positive, yet naive host and mostly interesting guests.
The host is a young guy with a heart of gold and a healthy level of emotional intelligence. He does ask good questions, he has a positive outlook and a contagious enthusiasm for life, learning, sharing and caring for each other and the planet.
On the other hand, some of his comments are quite reductive/dismissive of guest’s experiences, which often makes him come accross as narcissistic and lacking in empathy/consideration.
The quality of guests is inconsistent (some episodes are deleted within 5 min of listening) but most guests are very interesting and credible. The host focuses too much on psychedelics and often speaks with too much authority on subjects he knows little about, both of which are quite irresponsible. This makes him come across quite naive and unaware of his privilege/responsibility at times.
In short, a beautifully imperfect person searching for self-development and trying to make a difference in the world by spreading positive ideas through this podcast. We need more people like this.
I wish Kyle much success.

Love this guy
One of the best podcasters I've heard. Great combination of intelligent and interesting questions and fun conversations, I listen to every episode fully even if the subject isn't something that would normally interest me.
Kyle you are doing a great job!!!

Good questions
So he asks questions in a way that opens up the mic for the person being asked to just go off on one for thw answer... which gives the conversations a bit more casual normality than most interview shows - you get the feeling he's a really good listener, which we all could learn from
