Quote/testimonial

Kyle is an extremely dedicated and passionate hard worker. He leads by example and it shows with not only his work acumen but also his branding and business acumen. I not only recommend Kyle but I also highly encourage you to check out his website and podcast. 

From A-Z — I had a great experience hosting Kyle Nitchen as a guest on my podcast to talk about leadership, construction and personal/professional development.

Throughout the process, Kyle was thorough and collaborative to help prepare & execute a value packed episode based on his strengths while openly sharing that he didn’t want to cover topics that he wasn’t highly knowledgeable in (I appreciated this).

My audience shared quite positive feedback after releasing his episode. He was a clear and powerful public speaker who brought a ton of value to the table. 

I’d be glad to have Kyle back on the show for another episode!

Every now and then I am fortunate to meet someone of incredible excellence. Today I had the honor and privilege of chatting with Kyle for a few minutes over the phone. 



I am truly impressed by his work ethic, accomplishments, and most importantly his heart to help other leaders develop and grow. 

Kyle, keep up the good work my friend! You set the bar of excellence tremendously high! The world needs more people like you. Truly thankful our paths have crossed!

Everything Kyle puts out is practical and tactical. No fluff. Just incredibly useful advice that you can read and take action on immediately. One of only a few newsletters I read weekly.
