ABOUT THIS EPISODE
our first repeat guest, our most requested episode, and this time we’re live and in person from the SPL booth at IMEX. kyle morris shows up complimenting the socks, scanning his badge for coffee by claiming to be an oilers fan, and reopening the staten island vs. west coast debate before we’ve even said hello. then it gets good. gabby heard two people describe kyle with the same word, unprompted: loyal. so we asked how someone becomes one of his people. there’s a no-assholes rule, and his team isn’t allowed to say “i have concerns,” because concern without conviction is an incomplete thought. if it won’t work, tell him why. kyle says leadership comes from humility, so onsite he’s the one taking the food order: first person on, last person off. gabby shares the disney lesson that cracked her people-pleasing, when sometimes the most humble move is letting someone else be the hero. kyle’s question for every partnership: if we’re not making our partners the heroes to their bosses, what are we doing? two av companies, one booth today and another this afternoon, and a real conversation about ditching the sniping mentality and building ethical partnerships with your competitors. plus: kyle’s irish goodbye that left him the last one standing at the after party, why he still sprints up the basement stairs (blame the ring), auditioning to be our simon cowell, and a mahogany jones cameo. card of the day: every time i return to the present, i reclaim my power. kyle closes with an honest moment about depression and the post-event crash, and why more people need to hear it’s okay to be more than sad. soft skills, hard truths. new episodes weekly at https://chinwag.live/
