What's up friends!Hope all of you are doing well.I know last week there was no podcast, I had a stomach virus and really needed to rest, which leads me right to what I wanted to talk about in this episode, which is Rest.Most of my life I have lived at a very urgent and fast pace and rest has been something that I've avoided and not prioritized in my life up to this point.I felt like last week was gone giving me a gentle reminder again, that I need to slow down and prioritize resting.When I sa...

What's up friends!I started this episode off with a story from many years ago when my boss told me he wanted to promote me but he wouldn't do it until I started using a planner.At the time I was driven and passionate (as I still am) but I had no system in place to map out my daily and weekly plans, so a lot of things would fall through the cracks.As my Dad used to say, "if you aim at nothing you're sure to hit it," or "fail to plan, plan to fail."We all have things we would like to accomplish...

What's up y'all! It's just me today and in this episode I talk about Being Kind to other people for just a few minutes a day...We're all on this journey of life together and it can be filled with pain, trauma, hurt, disappointment etc.We never truly know what others are going through but we do have opportunities ever day to make an impact on people's lives by just being kind to then.When I say be kind, I don't mean be fake or be perky or bubbly if that's not your personality, I mean just...

What's up y'all! In this episode I have on my friend, producer and hip hop artist Broderick Perkins. Broderick comes from a family of musicians and has produced and put out multiple albums and projects over the past several years with many referring to his sound as reminiscent of a young J.Cole.Broderick and I had a great conversation around everything from music and relationships, to faith, purpose, sports, and growing up in a bi-racial home.I really enjoyed this conversation and I...

What's up y'all!I hope you're a positive start to the new year.In this episode I wanted to talk about Success and how we define in, especially in America.It seems to me that most of our culture would say that success is defined as making a lot of money, having a good job, nice car, big house, good relationship etc.And to be very honest I want all of these things as well, I don't think material possessions in themselves are inherently bad.I think the problem lies in defining success by these t...

What's up friends!This is officially the first episode of 2022 and I couldn't be more excited for what's going to happen for the podcast in the new year! In this episode I wanted to touch on the power of how we think.As Tony Robbins says, "your external life is a reflection of your internal life."The way we think is the most powerful thing we do in life, our thoughts have the power to change our lives, for better or for worse.In this episode I talked about Why I think we struggle with ne...

Howdy folks!This is the last episode of the year so I wanted to take some time to reflect on what has happened the past 12 months and also share how I'm preparing for 2022.2021 was a year of lot's of learning and growth for me personally.I think it's extremely important to take an inventory of the things that went well for you this year and also the things that you learned and want to improve upon on the new year.Making a plan for your life and for your year, or whatever time frame you prefer...

What's up y'all!There are many things in life you can't control, but what you CAN control is the decision you make on a daily basis.Those daily decisions are putting you on a path towards success or failure depending on what they look like.Your future WILL be determined by the choices you make today, make sure you are making choices that will benefit your future self.I hope something I said was helpful,Love to you all, God bless.-KyleConnect with me on social media:Instagram: instagram.c...

What's up y'all! I'm excited to be back this week with episode 100 of Inside The Mirror Podcast.In this weeks episode, I sat down with my Father, Jeff Crabtree, as he took over the role of host for a day and interviewed me. We talked about why I started the podcast, what I've learned since starting it, how it's been going, where it's headed and much, much more! My Father is the biggest inspiration in my life and it was a pleasure to get to be interviewed by him and get to share...

What's up y'all, this weeks episode is interesting because it was unplanned,so I'm calling this a "half episode" because it's pretty short and sweet!The reason for the half episode is that I jacked up the audio when recording episode 100 with my Father. He is out of town most of this week so I wanted to release this half episode to hold you over until we can rerecord episode 100 and release it next week. Thank you for bearing with me, I'm really excited for episode 100!...
