Kyle McGee—entrepreneur, podcast host, and now bestselling author of Built to Lead—opens up about the moment he knew “someday” was a lie and why the loss of family member lit a fire in him to finally write the book he’d been putting off for years. He shares the story of his rock bottom and why that moment almost didn’t make it into the book. But what followed was a journey of deep personal growth, painful loss, and a commitment to become the leader he was called to be.

Kyle and JR dive into what it means to lead from identity, why vulnerability is a superpower in leadership, and how faith, discipline, and purpose anchor everything he does. They explore why so many people never write their book—or step into their calling—and what it takes to break through the fear of critics, the pressure of perfection, and the lie of waiting for “the right time.” If you’ve ever felt the whisper that you’re meant for more, this conversation is your wake-up call.
