    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

    How to handle Election Season

    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!

    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               

    The pain of change vs the pain of staying the same

    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

    Why you shouldn't listen to peoples opinions

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 22, 2023 14:33


    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

    Red Meat is under attack.

    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!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!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! 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!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

    Hold things loosely

    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
