This week....Kyle rolls solo! This week's episode is a brief on-on-one chat with Kyle and himself (and of course you listeners) about the notion of control.

A New Year is often synonymous with growth and growth is often synonymous with discomfort. Because in order to grow we must step into the unknown and embrace the unfamiliar and the uncomfortable.

In this episode Kyle and Reynard discuss the word "no" and why we should say "YES" to...
