Hey friends!Hope you're all healthy and well!REALLY excited to share this conversation with you.This episode was with my friend and someone I now refer to as the "millionaire mindset next door" Johnson Tran.

Hey friends! Welcome back to another guest filled episode.

Hey friends!This weeks episode was inspired by a conversation with my Dad last week where we were talking about being strategic in making decisions.Lets be honest, we all struggle at times to make the best decisions for ourselves and we often wish we could go back and make different decisions in hindsight.In the moment it can often be hard to make decisions that are strategic for the future as we are often making quick, emotion driven decisions. That being said, in this episode I wanted to talk about why I think this is so important, how I've seen it go wrong, and some things I've put in place for myself to ensure that I'm making the best decisions for myself, short and long term. Please hear me, I don't have this all figured out, I still make terrible decisions in certain moments and often act first and think second.I'm on the journey with you and just want to share my heart and things that I''ve personally found helpful along the way.Hope something here helped you or someone you know.Feel free to share it around with someone that could benefit.Thanks so much for listening.Talk soon, God bless.-Kyle Lets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidcrabtreeTwitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: tiktok.com/@kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber  

Hey friends!Have you ever heard the phrase "Your inputs determine your outcomes?"While I agree with this in many ways, I think a key factor that is often missed in life is our attitude.  I believe that one of the main factors in our happiness and fulfillment in life is our attitude.So in this weeks episode I wanted to talk about how our Attitude determines our outcomes.  Our attitude effects the majority of our experience in life and our ability or lack thereof to have a positive attitude will greatly impact our outcomes in life.As someone who had a very negative attitude for years, and now works really hard to have a positive attitude, I can attest to the massive difference our attitude has on our lives and the lives of those around us.  I really hope something here struck you and was helpful for you or someone you know.Please feel free to share this with someone who you think needs to hear it.Thanks so much for taking the time to listen, y'all are great!

Hey friends!Know I haven't had a guest on in awhile so super excited to be back with a guest!Really enjoyed this conversation with my friend and hip hop artist Derrick Jewell aka Whyte-out.Derrick and I met many years ago when we were making music and doing shows in Colorado.Derrick is an incredibly talented artist and has worked with artists like Twista, Jellyroll, Rittz, Krayzie Bone from Bone Thugs n Harmony and a lot more! In this conversation we got deep,Derrick talked about his addictions and vices and how he came to a point where he had to choose to change for himself and his kids.As a father of 5 kids he realized that the #1 thing he needed to do in his life was be a loving and present father to his kids.We talked about the current culture and their desire to be rich and famous vs authentic and genuine.Several times we touched on the subject of accountability and realizing that everything in your life, good or bad is something you need to take accountability and ownership for.When you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life, you are able to take ownership and change it.Derrick has an awesome perspective around accountability and what it takes to pull yourself out of the mud and the darkness in life and make a change. I really, really enjoyed catching up and getting to have what I believe was a super meaningful conversation here! Hope you were inspired or challenged by something you heard.Please feel free to share this with someone you think this could be helpful for.As always, thank you for spending your time listening to me.I know there are endless ways you could spend your time and I'm grateful that you choose to spend some of it with me.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleListen to:Whyte-out on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/artist/4qzfLJY0QrS5vxhdY9kU5g?si=O98JyVd2SNqrTy0thHG15gWhyte-out on Apple:https://music.apple.com/us/artist/whyte-out/1450507780Whyte-out on Youtube:https://youtube.com/@WhyteOut?si=iiJVl6Q2WvQjc-fvWhyte-out on Soundcloud:http://www.soundcloud.com/whyte-outFollow:Whyte-out on TikTok:https://www.tiktok.com/@iamwhyte0ut?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcConnect with Kyle on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidcrabtreeTwitter (X): twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: tiktok.com/@kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!It is election season in America, and you know what that means...Anger, arguments, division and overall a lack of unity and ability to see those we disagree with as human.In my opinion, if we were all able to calmly listen and communicate with one another, we would find that 99% of us all want the same things.Freedom to speak and do as we please, systems of money, healthcare and government that will work for us and to protect us, politicians that will fight for us and make decisions based on whats in our best interest and on and on.We all want to live happy, healthy and free lives and be protected from anything that would harm us or our loved ones.The issue then is not that we disagree on having these things, the major things we disagree on are typically HOW to achieve these.In todays episode I wanted to talk about how I believe we can work on being more united during times like this and how to handle hot topics and communicate maturely and effectively so that we are able to listen, understand and move towards resolution with those we disagree with and not division.If we can be mature and listen to understand and show those we disagree with that we care about them even when we don't agree, I truly believe we can change the trajectory of our nation and society.  Hope you are encouraged and challenged by this episode like I was.Please share this with someone you think needs to hear this.Thanks so much for giving me your time and listening to what I have to say, it's humbling and I'm truly grateful.Talk soon, god bless!-Kyle Lets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidcrabtreeTwitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: tiktok.com/@kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends,Hope you're all healthy and thriving! This week I wanted to just unpack some of my thoughts and personal focuses recently around the way I spend my time and how I evaluate the things I'm doing that are moving the ball forward in my life.   Here's the reality, we're all busy.We live in a busy society that tells us we need to always be going to achieve what we want in life, I've bought into this as well in life and filled my days with busyness.But the more I live the more I'm convinced its not about how much you do but WHAT you do, which means we need to make sure we are not just moving fast but slowing down and being more intentional with WHAT we are doing and how we are spending our time, energy and resources.Hence the title "Slow down to speed up." It's not about moving fast, but more about being intentional with spending our time and energy on the right things that have the greatest impact.This is a huge focus for me in 2024 as I not only want to achieve a lot in life but I want to do it at a sustainable and enjoyable pace.I want to be intentional with how I spend my moments and my energy and it starts with just being aware of where we are spending our resources. Hope something here was helpful for you or someone you know.Please feel free to share this with someone you think needs to hear this.Thanks so much for taking the time to tune in, truly grateful for all of you! Talk soon, God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidcrabtreeTwitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: tiktok.com/@kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends,Welcome back to another episode, I'm FIRED UP!You and I have believed a LIE and I want to expose it and speak out against it.The lie comes in many forms but they tell us that we weren't made to be great.The lies say that we aren't good enough, pretty enough, talented enough, that we should be average, don't be too disruptive, you can't change the world etc, ALL LIES!We were all created uniquely withe potential to make a huge difference and change the world, the enemy doesn't want us to believe that but its the truth.For many years of my life I have believed lies about myself and you probably have too.It's time to fight back with the truth and be reminded that you are capable of amazing things and were born to something incredible! THAT IS THE TRUTH.Hope this encouraged you and reminded you of y our potential.Please feel free to share this with someone else who needs to hear it.Thanks so much for listening, God bless!-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidcrabtreeTwitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: tiktok.com/@kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber   

Ayo,Happy new year friends! It's pretty wild how fast the time passes in life but here we are.Hope you're all healthy and well and ready for a year of growth and blessings.For the first episode of the year I wanted to touch on something that I feel is  frequently overlooked, especially as a year ends and everyone is planning for how to do more and be better in the next.I want to talk about recognizing the progress you're making in life and being PROUD of yourself and how far you've come in life.It's very easy for most of us to focus on the gap between where we are and where we want to be in the future.We can easily feel like we're not doing enough, we're not good enough, or we're so far behind etc.But how about for a second we focus on the gap between where we've been and where we are now.The truth is, if you zoom out far enough you are probably much further ahead than you used to be and you are most likely making a TON more progress than you feel like, as a person, in your mindset and learnings and I'm sure a bunch of other areas for you.This thought sparked in me the other day when I was looking through my safe for some paperwork on a car I recently bought and I stumbled onto my binder I kept through my time in rehab in 2015.I spent some time looking through it and was shocked by how much I've grown and changed since then, it was pretty drastic.This got me thinking, bc if you asked me on a random day I would tell you I feel behind and like I'm not making as much progress as I should be, or I would tell you I'm far from where I want to be in life and I have so much more to do.Bc most of us are wired to focus on where we're not vs where we are, I think it's important to take the time to look back and acknowledge the progress we have made and are making, otherwise we will just feel like we're never enough and that can be frustrating and discouraging.The truth is, we're all doing much better than we think even if our lives aren't exactly where we want them to be.Give yourself credit for where you are, how much you've grown and learned and BE PROUD of yourself! You deserve it.Hope something here will be encouraging and inspiring for you.Please feel free to share this with someone who needs to hear it.Thanks for taking the time to listen to me, grateful for each one of you.Talk soon, God bless!-Kyle Lets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidcrabtreeTwitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: tiktok.com/@kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber               

Hey y'all!This weeks episode may be a bit convicting for some and I hope it is, it was for me too.I'm talking about the pain of staying the same vs the pain of changing.We all have areas of our lives we want to improve or we just aren't satisfied with where our lives are at and we want it to change.That's a great starting point, wanting more and not being fully satisfied with where we're at, but the problem is, too often we choose to stay in the place we're at bc it's more comfortable than doing the hard work and going through the pain of actually changing. The reality is, if you stay where you are, and don't go through the pain and discomfort required to get to where you want to go you will eventually still have to deal with the pain of being in the same place you're in now, but now you've experienced that pain twice.Once when you realized you didn't like where you were and again when you never changed and still have to experience.Life is painful and uncomfortable, you just have to choose which pain you'd prefer, the pain of change?Or the pain of regret and staying the same?One will be uncomfortable but moves you toward where you want to be and the other just keeps you miserable, but you have to choose.Hope this was motivating for you or someone you know.Please feel free to share it with someone you think needs to hear this.Thanks so much for taking the time to listen and support herre, means so much to me.Hope you're all healthy and well!Talk soon, God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends, hope all of you are healthy and well.Let's get right into it, here's my thought.I don't know about you but I have gotten SO MUCH advice in my life from all kinds of people, especially the people close to me.While this can be a good thing, this week I wanted to talk about why I believe you actually need to listen to less advice from the people around you, not more.    Most people are giving you advice from a genuinely good place but most often they are telling you what they would do if they were in your shoes.The problem with that is they aren't in your shoes.They don't have your goals and dreams, and they can't see your vision for your life.Because of this, they may be giving you advice that is actually not going to help you fulfill your vision for yourself and your life and get you to where you need to be.In this episode I wanted to share my thoughts and my own experiences around learning how to not listen to the advice of even the people closest to me at times.It's not easy but you have to take control of your life and not always do what others want you to do if you actually want to fulfill the vision you have.Part of that journey is being misunderstood by others.Hope something here is helpful to you or someone you know.Please fr=eel free to share this with someone you think this could help.Grateful for all of you taking hte time to listen.Talk soon, God bless!-Kyle Lets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends! I've had a wild past week, from wrecking my car to thinking I killed my sisters cat, I'm glad it's over, haha.In this episode I wanted to share what all happened the past week, what I learned and the framework I  think through when adversity and hard times hit, as they inevitably will.There are very few things promised in life but adversity and struggle are a few of those things we WILL face over and over.Learning how to face hard times and move through them is critical and having a framework from which to operate has been a game changer for me in my own life. Hope that some of the thoughts and things I share here are helpful for you or someone you know.Please feel free to share this with someone you think needs to hear this.Thanks so much for listening!Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber 

Hey friends!This week I wanted to share the story if the business I started and shut down 12 months later.In 2020 I saw and opportunity to start a business and I went for it.In this episode I share the story of it all, what I learned, what I would change if I could go back and my thoughts on why there is no such thing as failure when you take action, you win or you learn.Hope you enjoy the story and learn from my experiences.Feel free to share this with someone you think this could help.Hope you're all healthy and well!Talk soon, God bless-Kyle        Lets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends! This weeks episode I unpack why I think it's important to be able to filter the opinions and advice we get from other people.“Don't listen to other people's opinions" is pretty typical advice that gets spread around.But why shouldn't we listen to them?Are they stupid or trying to hurt us?Are they always garbage opinions? Probably not, I think there's more to it.I believe the reason we should often ignore the opinions of others isn't because they have bad intentions, it's because their opinions often lack education and context.Most people are not trying to give bad advice or steer us in a wrong direction, they simply haven't put in the thought, research, and mental and emotional energy that we have to come to a decision. It's impossible for someone who is not you to have all of the context on the thoughts and ideas that go into your decision making process.Therefore peoples opinions on what you should do will often not align with your internal desires or feelings that you've processed.So most of the time we need to use wisdom and discernment when it comes to who we take advice from and when we take that advice.There is wisdom in a multitude of counsel, but don't let that idea become you relieving yourself of your ultimate responsibility to make final decisions and be responsible for those decisions.Others only have so much context on what we want and need.People aren't trying to harm you, they just lack context, don't hold that against them and also don't overly weigh their opinions. Be wise, filter advice and opinions through a strict lens, and take action based on what you believe is best, even if it isn't aligned with the opinions of people you care about. You get 1 life.Your choices are up to you.You have to make the final decisions in your life, choose wisely.Blessings.    Lets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Linkedin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends, hope you're all healthy and well!This week I am coming in HOT with an episode on red meat and some of my thoughts on why red meat is under such attack in the US.Although it's one of the most nutrient dense foods on the planet, for some reason recently red meat has been more and more demonized, although we know for a fact it is one of the most nutritious foods humans can consume. We've been eating it for 1,000's of years all over the world and it has sustained life and allowed humans to thrive.The recent Harvard study that says red meat can be “associated” with higher risk of diabetes is straight propaganda. That's a perfect example of correlation not causation.Keep in mind a large # of those people in the study, smoked, had a diet full of ultra processed foods, and were sedentary, just to name a few of their other health related issues that ACTUALLY lead to diabetes. Here are some of the nutrients we get from red meat:Protein - needed to grow and repair cells and keep your body working regularly.Iron - necessary for transportation of oxygen in the bloodZinc - critical for immune function, wound and sickness healing and DNA synthesisB12 - essential for nerve function and production of red blood cellsSelenium: an antioxidant mineral that plays a role in protecting cells from damage.Phosphorus: important for bone health, energy metabolism, and the synthesis of DNA.Creatine: plays a role in energy production, brain health and muscle repair Vitamin A: essential for vision, immune function, and skin health.Vitamin D: important for bone health, immune function, and overall well-being.Magnesium: involved in many physiological processes, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control, bone health.Potassium: an electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions, and nerve signals.The “experts” agree that these are good things so why would red meat then be bad if it contains them? Doesn't make logical sense. Don't listen to the propaganda.If mainstream institutions are telling you what to do with your health, you should most likely do the opposite.Eat red meat, exercise and don't trust the government or the higher education indoctrination institutions.Stay safe out there

Hey friends!That title might have throw you off, so here's some more context...Recently I've been super frustrated with where I'm at in certain areas of my life bc I'm not where I want to be. I feel like my back is against the wall in several situations and I'm being forced to take action and go to the next level of my own personal growth and development. This isn't a bad thing, I think anytime you are seeking to grow and level up in life things will seek to hold you back and make it difficult to go to that next level.These are the times when we need to embrace the hard, get a little pissed off and take action to continue pushing through to the next level and where we know we ultimately need and want to go.We all have choices to make in life and many times our choices will be driven by  us finding ourselves in situation and circumstances that we don't like and we know we need to change.In this episode I really just processed some of the feelings I'm experiencing currently and some of my thoughts and strategies around what that is and what I'm doing about it.Don't cheat yourself out of things in life, it's supposed to be hard, we're supposed to feel challenged and like our back is against the wall.Take action and do the work to break through to the next level, don't let the hard hold you back,  we've got this.Hope something here was insightful or helpful in some way.If it was, please share it with someone you think may need it.Thanks so much for listening, I'm super grateful!Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Welcome back to another episode of Inside The Mirror.In this weeks episode I wanted to touch on a topic I've been challenged on the past few years and something I feel is important for all of us to focus on.I'll start with a question, are you nice to the people around you, or are you kind?I've learned there can be a big difference between the two. Being nice is easy and usually involves keeping the peace with people and not necessarily saying the things that need to be said, just to remain comfortable and to avoid confrontation.Being kind on the other hand requires telling people the truth, even when it's uncomfortable because that's what is best for them.We often have a choice between the two and I know I personally tend to lean towards just being nice many times because I don't want conflict or I don't want others to think I'm being mean or difficult.Being kind means telling the truth, even when it hurts or is uncomfortable.Let's be honest, being nice is easier but being kind is usually what is more helpful to people, and often people prefer that you tell them the truth and help them even if it's uncomfortable in the moment.Loving people means we care about them enough to get uncomfortable and do the hard thing if it's best for them.I'm by no means perfect at this, it's something I'm constantly working on and challenging myself in because I want to be the best I can for the people I care about.Hope something in this episode is helpful or makes you think.If it is or you know someone who should hear this, please feel free to share it.Thanks so much for listening, grateful for all of you.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey y'all! I've been thinking a lot recently about how serious I take everything in life, even the things that are somewhat meaningless.We all have things in our lives that we stress about and spend a lot of time or energy on that ultimately just aren't as important in the long run as they may feel in the moment.I want to learn to be able to hold things more loosely and not take things so seriously if they really won't be that important in 50 or years when i come to the end of my life.I want to be able to gauge what's super important and what is more inconsequential when it comes to how I exert my time and energy.Hope some of these thoughts are helpful or spur you on to think more about it.Please feel free to share this with someone you think this could be helpful to.As always, thanks for listening and supporting, appreciate you tons!Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey y'all!Been thinking a lot about how my personal growth affects the people around me and the people I influence so wanted to talk through some of that in this weeks episode.I think many times in life we only think about our personal growth as affecting us and our lives, but what we may not realize is that our personal growth directly affects the lives of those around us, our families, friends, coworkers etc etc.When we are not growing and becoming better, we can hold those around us back. The people in our circle are watching us and when we aren't growing they will pick up on our lack of growth and it can influence them negatively.Also, when we aren't becoming better we aren't able to show up at our fullest capacity and potential which can also hold back the people around us that we have the opportunity to influence.We have a responsibility to ourselves and the people around us to always be growing and being an example of what it looks like to be the best you can be.If you aren't striving to be the best you can be, the people around you will be affected, when you are they will also be affected.The goal here is not perfection but progress, be the example you would want to have and hold yourself to a high standard, for yourself and others, you won't regret it.Thanks so much for listening.

Hey friends!This week I wanted to talk about something that has been top of mind for me the past week and I've had multiple conversations about it.The idea is living with excellence. Excellence is the quality of being outstanding or extremely good at something.We live in a time where we glorify the achievements of celebrities and sports stars and business people who accomplish grand things, but what about the rest of us who have things every day that we have the opportunity to be excellent at?What about the conversations with people at the grocery store, your interaction with your neighbors, the way you clean your kitchen or sweep your floors?Excellence is not just large, grandiose things, we have an opportunity to be excellent in everything that we do in life.I don't know about you but I want to be remembered as someone who is excellent at all things, even the small things.In this episode I shared my thoughts around what excellence looks like, how we can do things excellently and what we receive when we do.Hope something here was helpful. If so please share it with someone you think it could help.Thanks so much for listening!Talk soon, God bless!-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!in this week's episode I wanted to talk about an idea and a way of living that has helped me SOOO much when it comes to how I approach life and how I manage my days and my stress.It's the idea of living one day at a time.We've all heard that and probably agree with it in theory but are we actually living our lives just one day at a time? Or are we stuck living in the past with all of the things we can't change, or the future worrying about all of the future worries and problems that we can't change or fix today?I find myself in both places often, reminiscing over the past and what I would have done differently or in the future worrying about what it will look like and what problems I need to avoid or plan full now.Neither is leading me towards more peace, joy or fulfillment...In this episode I shared some of the top ways I think we can practically help ourselves live more presently, one day at a time, letting the past be the past and allowing the problems of the future to not weigh us down in the present.Hope something here was helpful to you. Please feel free to share it with someone you think it could be helpful for.Thanks for listening and for all of the support, I'm super gratefulTalk soon, God bless!-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Today's episode is on a topic I have and still struggle with at times, letting my feelings run my life.One of my favorite quotes about feelings is from Jonathan Pokluda. He says, "your feelings are real, just not reliable."I've found this to be so true in life and you may have too.If I don't feel like exercising so I choose not to, over time I will become unhealthy.If I don't feel like paying my bills bc they're too expensive, eventually I will not have anything.The point here is just because you feel a certain way doesn't mean that's a good barometer for wise decision making, it's more than often not.We have to learn to process our feelings, seek wisdom and make decisions based on what is true and best for us, not just how we fell in a given moment.Wisdom is doing what's right even when you may not feel like it because you know it's best.Hope something here was helpful for you or someone you know.Thanks for taking the time to listen!Until next time, God bless!-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Lately I've been thinking a lot about the things I run to when life is difficult or uncomfortable, I've been asking myself, "what are the things I seek comfort in?"Are they good for me? Are they harmful? Should I change them?We all run to certain things when life or situations get hard or uncomfortable, it's normal and natural.The question is are we running to the right things or are we running to things we probably shouldn't?Today I shared some of my thoughts and my experience running to the wrong things and also the right things.Hope something here makes you think and helps you.Please share this with someone it could potentially be helpful for.Thanks for tuning in and sharing your time, deeply grateful for you.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLet's connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends! This week wanted to share something that I was told by a leader in my life that has really helped me relax a lot more mentally, at work and with different seasons and decisions in life. The idea is that of the light post.When runners are training and get tired they will often make their intention to run to the next light post ahead.There will then stop, rest and decide where to go from there.The idea is that when we don't have clear timelines on things in life we will often ruminate over and over in our heads about what to do. "Should I do this or that?" or "what if this or what if that."These types of questions and constant thoughts can distract us from being as effective as we should be with our current roles and responsibilities.So the idea is to set a light post for when you are going to stop, rest, look around and see if you want top keep going in the same direction or change course.I'd be curious to hear what light post you are going to set for yourself in an area of life.Hit me up on social media and let me know:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Back this week with something that has been top of mind for me on my journey of looking to always improve and live a life I am proud of.The thing I've been thinking about is why do we do things we don't want to do or don't do the things we do want to do and how do we reverse that?What I've found most helpful for myself when it comes to making the right decisions is to focus on the end result and not how I feel in the moment.Often times we don't do things we should bc we don't "feel like it" in the moment so we let that feeling dictate our decisions. If we are able to think through the end result of that task or activity,  and really feel how it will feel when we accomplish that thing, it's much easier to then let your decisions be driven by the end result that you want.That same thing works for not doing things you don't want to do.When you are temped to do something you know you shouldn't do, think through how you will feel when you do that. Will it bring you shame? Guilt? Embarrassment? Anger?If you don't want to experience those feelings, let those end results drive your decision making process. If we only focus on how we feel in the moment we will make short term decisions that we will later regret.If we are able to focus on the end result and make decisions according to that we will achieve more of what we want and live a life that we can be proud of..Hope something here was helpful, please share it with someone you think could benefit from hearing this.Thanks so much for listening! God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Hope you're all doing great.Today I wanted to talk about something that life has taught me the past few years that I'm still learning.What I've started to realize is that I can't do it alone.You and I were not created to just live life alone and isolate, moving through it with just ourselves as our guide, that's a hard an impossible task.We were created to live in community and exist together and learn from one another.Life is already hard enough but trying to do it all on your own can be crippling.Leaning into others and not doing it alone can be hard, uncomfortable and really unpleasant at first when its not what we are used to . But ultimately all of the things we want, desire and should have in life happen when we are in relationships with others, learning from and growing with them, not trying to do it all on our own, that will take you a lifetime and you still wont have it figured out.If you're isolated and trying to do it on your own I have a lot of compassion for you, I've been there.But please realize that doing it all on your own is the worst thing for you.Nothing truly fulfilling happens alone. Hope something here was helpful for you or someone you know.Thanks so much for taking the time to listen.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Ayo!Welcome back friends, I'm super passionate about what we're talking about today bc I think so many of us need to hear it, and it's this, "You're doing better than you think."Most of us are doing much better in life than we think we are. We are our own worst critic and we tend to be super unkind to ourselves in the way we think and speak about ourselves.The reality is, most of us are doing the best we can with the information and circumstances we have.So today I wanted to unpack this a little, give some practical tips to help that I'm using and just encourage you to lighten up on yourself because YOU ARE DOING BETTER THAN YOU THINK.Hope this was helpful, if so, please share it with someone you think needs to hear it.Thanks so much for listening! Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Welcome to back to us all, lol. Know I've been off for two weeks so excited to get back into it with this episode.This comes from something I've been thinking through the last few days personally and thought would be helpful to share here as I'm sure I'm not the only one who needs to hear this,.Here it is, We don't need more motivation.We have access to unlimited amounts of motivation through, Youtube, Podcasts, Social Media, etc.If we're not where we want to be in a certain area of life, the answer is not to just go get motivated, the answer is a clear plan.As my Dad always says, "you aim for nothing you're sure to hit it."Your plan is the roadmap to what you want, if you follow it, it will lead you to the treasure, your job is to find the right plan and execute on it.Motivation is great but it's fleeting and doesn't necessarily lead anywhere. A plan is the blueprint for what you want, if you can pair that with strong motivation and execution you will be in a great spot!Hope this was helpful, if so, please share it with someone who you think it could help.Thanks for listening! Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!I've been thinking a lot recently about how I treat myself, and honestly, I'm not very kind to me most of the time.Don't know about you but I really don't want to be so harsh to myself but it's become such a normal way of behavior that I rarely even think about it.Today I wanted to talk about how we treat ourselves and why it's so important. I believe there's no one we should treat better than ourselves.If we aren't able to care for the 1 person we are responsible for forever (us) how are we ever going to know how to truly treat others well?I know it's not easy for most of us, but we need to be intentional with the way we treat, speak and act towards ourselves, if we don't treat us well, we can't expect others to do it for us.Hope something here was helpful, if it was, please share it with someone who needs to hear it.Thanks so much for listening!Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!In today's episode I ask the question that we should all contemplate at some point, "What is our WHY?"By this I mean, Why do we do the things we do, what drives us?I've found that without a deep Why that drives my intentions its very difficult to sustain through hard and challenging times.We must be clear on WHY we do what we do, whether that's our jobs, relationships, dreams, goals etc, WHY do those things matter to us, WHY are they important?Knowing our why will help us stay grounded through the good and the bad, bc it reminds us of what our intentions are for doing that thing in the first place.I shared some of my why in this episode and if you don't know yours, I would encourage you to spend some time really thinking about it and putting something down that you can look back to and remind yourself of.Hope something I'm learning here is helpful, feel free to share it with someone you thin could benefit from this.Thanks so much for listening!Talk soon, God bless!-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Quick question for you, Who is the person that you always compare yourself to?Who do you look at on social media and wish you had their money, their looks, their career, their relationships, their following etc?We all have specific people that we compare ourselves to and our lives to.Most all of us realize this is unhealthy but we do it anyways. It makes us feel like we are behind and need to get the things this person has or be at the place that this person is at.I get it. I compare myself constantly to people I look up to online.But recently it has really bothered me that I do this for several reasons:1. it doesn't make me feel good and 2. I want a healthy comparison, not an unhealthy one.What I've realized is the greatest comparison I can make is to myself, to previous versions of me.Doing this has helped me see that I'm actually making a TON of progress in life and I'm headed towards what I want.If you compare yourself to previous versions of you, you will quickly realize you are actually making more progress than you thought!We should be the only person we are trying to keep up with.Keep growing and being better than you were yesterday and you will always win.Hope something here was helpful, if so, please share it with someone who it could help.Thanks so much for listening.Talk soon, God bless!-KyleFind me on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!This episode was inspired by a thought that's been swirling around my head a lot the past week or so.The thought is this, we will never have things all figured out in life.We are all chasing a point in life where  everything is "perfect" and we've got everything "figured out," the right job, relationships, amount of money, health, etc.Ideally we would all reach a point in life where we've "figured it all out" and everything is as it should be, that day is unfortunately, never coming...Life is a constant series of ups and downs, struggles and wins and everything in between.So as we all seek some perfect version of life where things will "finally be good," I'd encourage you to accept the reality of that day never coming and instead focus your attention on learning how to be content each day while still striving to build a life you can be proud of as you continually level up.A comfortable and problem free life is unattainable but a life that you fight for and are proud of is.Hope something here was helpful or encouraging, if it was please share it with someone you think it could help.Thanks so much for listening, means the world to me!Talk soon, God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends,Thanks for stopping by!In this weeks episode I wanted to talk about something I feel strongly about.If you saw the title, WE ARE UNDER ATTACK.From the foods we eat, to the medicines we're prescribed , to the money system we're a part of and more, we are being fed information and products that are not only not good for us, but actually harmful to our lives and our wellbeing.I want to bring more light to these topics bc as I've done lots of research and unlearning the past few years I realize how much people just don't know what they don't know, especially when it comes to food and physical health.Most of us want to live happy, healthy and fulfilling lives but there are people in power who are purposely giving us recommendations with out money, food health etc that is directly harming us.We have to unlearn, relearn and share knowledge that will help us lives healthy and happy lives.I know some of these things can be concerning or shocking but it would be a disservice to not speak out about things that affect us all.Love you all and want us all to have the knowledge and information to live the healthiest lives possible.Hope something here made you live or question something, if you know someone that could benefit from this feel free to share it.Thanks so much for listening, more to come!God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!This one is short and sweet. Wanted to just share my thoughts real quickly on our ability to learn things in life just by watching and garnering learnings from the people around us.Most of us have people in our lives who have lived a decent amount of life and have made mistakes, had success and have experiences that we can learn from without having to go out and make those same mistakes or have those same experiences ourselves.There are knowledge, learnings and experiences all around us if we are willing to watch, listen and learn.I know I've personally learned so much from the people around me, their failures, successes and lessons and I see it as almost a cheat code to life where I can speed up my learnings and knowledge by simply watching and listening to others.Hope something here was helpful for you, if you think it could be helpful to someone else, feel free to share it.Thanks so much for listening and supporting, means a ton to me!Talk soon, God bless!-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Back this week with a question and thought I've been thinking about a lot the past week, and it's this: "Am I being what others need me to be?"I don't know about you, but I've realized that each person or group of people in my life needs something different from me at different times.Currently a group of people in my life need me to be steady, calm, and in control.Another individual in my life needs me to be a good listener, ask good questions and offer my advice, another needs me to just be energetic and positive, and the list goes on and on right.People need different things from us at different times, and we can help love and serve them well by being aware of or asking what those things are that they need, so that we know how to best show up for the people that we care about.We all have so much to offer, and when we know how to best show up for others we are able to love and support them in the way that best serves them at the time.This is something I'm actively working on as I don't always do this well and often show up in the way I think they need me and it's not always what others need. (Learn from my mistakes)Hope something I shared here was helpful for you or someone you know. Thanks so much for listening, means the world to me!Talk soon, God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey y'all!Recently been thinking a lot about what is and what is not in my control in my life.Find myself stressed, anxious or worried frequently over things I can't control and it's led me to processing a lot about what I can and can't control.Maybe I'm wrong, but I think most of us struggle in some capacity with spending time and energy on things that we can't control, and it causes us to be anxious as well as holds us back from achieving all that we could, if we were just able to focus only on the things within our control.So in this episode I decided to talk about "Controlling the controllables" aka controlling what is within our control and spednding less time and energy on things outside of our control.A few things that have helped me are in here as well as my own thoughts and perspectives from failing and succeeding at this at different times.Hope something here is helpful and encouraging for you or someone you know.Thanks so much for taking the time to listen, means the world to me!Talk soon, God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Welcome back to Inside The Mirror.This week I wanted to share my thoughts and some advice for myself and you all around the idea of getting uncomfortable.As humans we tend to naturally seek comfort. The problem with comfort is that it is the enemy of growth and progress.Therefore, when we seek comfort, we are inadvertently seeking to not grow and move in a direction that is better for us.Whether it is your fitness, finances, relationships, or any other area of life that you wish to improve, getting uncomfortable is the key to getting to where you want to be.In this episode I shared my thoughts on comfort now, vs discomfort later and vise versa.Also shared an example just recently of me choosing comfort over discomfort, which is why I wanted to have a conversation on this topic, it's as much if not more for me than it may be for you.Anyways, thanks so much for listening and supporting the pod, I hope it's helpful and encouraging for you.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!In this weeks episode I wanted to talk about something that I've been thinking a lot about recently, taking the right advice.We live in a time where information is abundant and there are endless opinions and advice on any topic you can think of, which can make it hard to know which advice to actually listen to and take.I decided to share a few of my thoughts on how to decide who to listen to and what advice to take.Hope something I said here was helpful to you or someone you know.Thanks so much for listening, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey y'all! This week wanted to share my thoughts around the idea of being resilient.We all face hard things along the journey of life, adversity, trauma, stress and things we weren't expecting. With that in mind it's critical that we all learn how to be resilient when unexpected and challenging things happen and be able to bounce back and persevere through the challenging times.In this episode I shared some of my thoughts on HOW to be resilient and not get stuck when hard things happen.Hope something here was helpful for you or someone you know.Thanks so much for listening, I'm super grateful for you.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey friends!Back this week with something I've been thinking about a lot recently,holding things loosely...What do I mean?We all tend to want to control our lives pretty rigidly and that leads to us holding things very tightly in life. When things go away or don't go the way we planned we are often disappointed because we were so sure of something and by doing this, we create our own disappointments.I'm not saying we shouldn't be committed to things but the more we realize we have very little control over most things in life and that most things are always changing, we can train ourselves to hold situation, outcomes, relationships etc, looser, knowing those things are probably going to change or often not work out as we expected.The looser we hold things in life the more we open ourselves up to growth, lessons and ultimately good things that we didn't plan for.Hope this episode is helpful to you.Thanks so much for listening and supporting, means a ton to me!Talk soon, God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Hey y'all!Hope everyone is healthy and well.In this episode I wanted to touch on two things that I believe are critical to living a meaningful and fulfilling life and those things are, Discipline and Vision.I think both things go hand in hand, first you need a vision and then you need discipline to accomplish that vision, so in this episode I share my thoughts on how vision and discipline work together and why I think they are so critical. Also shared some practical things I think are important when you are working towards a vision and implementing self discipline.I don't have all the answers but hope that some of the things I'm learning here on my own journey can be helpful to you on yours.Thanks so much for taking the time to listen, means the world to me.Talk soon, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: kyle.david___Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber
