Please help me welcome Kyle Greenlee to the podcast! Kyle and I went through school together K-12, and were always good friends. After college, Kyle decided to take his truck straight north from Missouri to the oilfields of North Dakota to become an inspector. I wanted to have Kyle on because we tend to disagree on several things, and at the same time there are also areas where we find ourselves in agreement. Our life experiences, opinions, and ideas for solutions may sometimes be different, but just as I've found in so many other circumstances - we agree far more often than other sources would have you believe. Kyle is a great guy that's seen a lot in his 32 years, and I hope you enjoy this conversation! ************************************************************************************** Learn More About Ten Tabs Open & Alex(ander) Howell Check out TTO website @ www.tentabsopen.com Instagram: @AlexanderFromKC Twitter: @AlexanderFromKC Twitch: @AlexanderFromKC Follow Alex @ www.AlexanderHowell.com Discord Link: Click Here
