In this insightful two-part podcast episode, Kyle Reedstrom shares his transformative journey from a frustrated engineer in a cubicle to a thriving real estate investor and entrepreneur. Feeling stuck in his corporate job, Kyle found himself realizing that the traditional career path wasn't the life he wanted. He took the leap by setting a bold goal and embracing messy action. Kyle stresses the importance of action over endless research, urging listeners to stop waiting for perfection and start moving forward.

Kyle also highlights the power of proximity, emphasizing the value of surrounding yourself with like-minded individuals — or “running buddies” — who are also committed to growth. Collaboration, not competition, helped Kyle and his peers accelerate their progress. He encourages listeners to adopt a focused approach to learning, recommending they align their education with their current goals and consume content strategically. Most importantly, Kyle advocates for taking massive, imperfect action — whether that’s shadowing experienced mentors, volunteering on deals, or simply jumping in and learning through trial and error.

For anyone feeling stuck in their 9-5, overwhelmed by too much learning without action, or unsure of how to get started in real estate, this episode offers powerful advice. Kyle’s story is a call to action: start before you feel ready, make mistakes, and align your learning with your goals.
