Howdy friends! In this episode I break down some thoughts I have on a passage of scripture I just read.Ecclesiastes 1:18 says, "...increasing knowledge results in increasing pain."I don't think this is saying that knowledge is bad, but I do think that the desire for more and more knowledge is a never ending rabbit hole and can become an addiction that can do more harm than good for our lives at a certain point.Knowledge is good but always wanting to know more and more and never being satisfied has been something for me personally that has led to unhealthy things in my life.I hope something I said here is helpful or makes you think.Thanks so much for listening, every one of you are a blessing!God bless-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends! I'm super pumped to share this conversation I had with my good friend and Colleague, Mason Brozovich.Mason is an extremely talented leader and a wonderful human! We talked about everything from million dollar quarters at Leadr, to insecurity, the need for vulnerability and the pressure for perfection, plus so much more! I thoroughly enjoyed this conversation and learned A LOT from the wisdom Mason shared.

What's going on friends, I hope you're all healthy and well!In this weeks episode I was inspired by these words from Chris Heaslip on an episode of the "One Shot Podcast" with Dallas Cowboy Legend Darren Woodson and Tyler Clutts.Chris said, "double your rate of failure."This statement has sat with me since I heard it,so in this episode,I unpack what I believe he means by that and why it's so important if you want to succeed at things in life.This got me fired up and really inspired, if you know Chris, you know he's a really motivating dude.And if you don't know him well.... Go listen to the One shot Podcast episode with him! :)Thank you all so much for taking the time to listen to me talk, it's super humbling.I'm grateful for each one of you and I pray this podcast is of encouragement to you.Catch you next time, God Bless!-KyleLets connect on social media!Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends!It's been 3 weeks since I last released an episode, I'm excited to be back this week with an incredible guest! In this weeks episode I sat down with my good friend Robyn Corcoran, we talked about life, the journey, the struggles, and how God works all things together for his good, even when we can't see it.Robyn's story is filled with a lot of struggle and pain as well as a beautiful theme of grace and hope interwoven into WHO she is.I hope this conversation with Robyn and I inspires someone out there who listens.Life is hard, we truly care about you and don't want anyone to feel alone in their struggle.If you're struggling, please reach out to someone, the worst thing you can do to yourself is try to do it alone.Thank you all so much for listening, I pray this podcast is impactful,Love to you all, God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends!In today's episode I sat down to talk about something I think we need to talk about more in this generation, the idea that winning at things in life happens internally before you see results externally .Whether it's in your fitness, business, career, relationships etc.You have to win internally with your daily habits, choices, practices, mindset etc, before you will see the fruit of those choices externally.Tom Brady is a great example of this, he had to win internally in the way he thought about himself, the way he practiced, his diet, his workout regimen and commitments to himself, before he could ever see the external results.He had to become a champion internally before he could actually win a championship externally.Winning is something that happens internally before you see it externally.This is something that I'm personally working on in several areas of my own life, so I'm very passionate about it and wanted to share my thoughts. I hope something I said here was helpful in some way and encouraged you to either start doing something or stop beating yourself up and keep doing what you're doing, realizing that the things you are doing now to win internally will eventually pay off externally if you don't give up.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends!In this episode I had the privilege of talking with my friend and the VP of sales at Leadr, Jeremy Bohnett.Jeremy has an inspiring story that includes 3 trips to rehab, hiking across New Zealand and the appalachian trail, as well as working in sales at a software startup, and now being the VP of sales at a hypergrowth tech startup.Jeremy shared about his past struggles with shame and addiction and the passion he found from getting clean and hiking the appalachian trail.We also talked about what sales has taught him about life and mindset and the paradigm shift that he's experienced in his career over the past decade as he accomplishes more than he thought possible.One of my favorite things Jeremy talked about was how small wins compound over time and help you build momentum in life and business.Those small wins build confidence and lead you to believing you can accomplish more than you had previously thought.Lastly, we talked about how our paths crossed, my journey to Leadr and Jeremy's first impression of me...This was an excellent conversation and I hope you are truly encouraged by something that was said.Thank you all so much for being on this journey with me and listening and supporting the podcast, it means the world to me.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscribe

What's up friends!In this episode I sat down with entrepreneur Becca Gardner, who is the founder of Alt Distilling and the non alcoholic beverages brand NKD LDY.Becca talked about her journey with alcohol and why she decided to start a non alcoholic beverage brand.NKD LDY is the first line of non alcoholic products from Alt Distilling, aimed at providing a tasty alternative to traditional alcoholic cocktails.As someone who enjoys being social but not drinking, hearing about NKD LDY got me really excited for myself and others who want to have a tasty, spirit-like drink without the alcohol!Becca is an inspiring founder with a massive vision for where her company is going and the positive impact and disruption they will make along the  way! I really enjoyed this conversation and I am super excited to see where NKD LDY goes in the coming years as many seek out alternatives to traditional cocktails and alcohols.NKD LDY launches in April but you can get on the pre-launch list now by going to drinknkdldy.com/shopAs always, thank you all so much for listening, it means so much to me.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleLets connect on social media!Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all!In this episode I sat down with my friend Zack Milewski to hear a little bit of his journey in business.Zack is the Founder and CEO of National Pavement Partners and SpotOnSite, a software that serves contractors and property mangers.Zack shared his journey from bankruptcy and a failed business to now owning and operating a successful company that generates millions a year in revenue.Zack talked about the importance of being hungry to learn, seeking out mentors and putting one foot in front of the other each day and not allowing the pressures and worries of life stop you from going after what you want.I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you get inspired like I did from hearing Zack's story of success and overcoming obstacles.Thank you all for listening, I'm extremely grateful for each one of you!Love to you all,God bless.-KyleYou can follow Zack on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/zach.milewski/Hit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends!Hope all of you are doing well.I know last week there was no podcast, I had a stomach virus and really needed to rest, which leads me right to what I wanted to talk about in this episode, which is Rest.Most of my life I have lived at a very urgent and fast pace and rest has been something that I've avoided and not prioritized in my life up to this point.I felt like last week was gone giving me a gentle reminder again, that I need to slow down and prioritize resting.When I say rest, I don't necessarily mean sitting in a chair doing nothing or just sleeping more, I mean identifying, people, places or activities that make you feel refreshed, refueled, rejuvenated etc, and make doing those things or being around those people a frequent priority.We live in a world and a society that is full of distractions and just moves at an extremely fast pace.In order to be able to run fast and long in this marathon of life, you need to find things along the way that help you stop and refuel yourself so you can be energized and keep going.So when I say rest I'm just saying find things that give you energy and make you happy and do those things.As I continue to seek to be a better person each day, I realize that the next area I need to level up my life in is in the area of rest, If you're anything like me I hope this episode helped you in some way.Thank you to ever single one of you who listens and supports, it truly means so much to me, thank you.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleHit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends!I started this episode off with a story from many years ago when my boss told me he wanted to promote me but he wouldn't do it until I started using a planner.At the time I was driven and passionate (as I still am) but I had no system in place to map out my daily and weekly plans, so a lot of things would fall through the cracks.As my Dad used to say, "if you aim at nothing you're sure to hit it," or "fail to plan, plan to fail."We all have things we would like to accomplish on a daily, weekly, monthly, yearly basis.The difference between those who just hope for things and those who accomplish them, is that those who achieve things have a plan and execute on that plan.It may sound simple, but if you don't write down your plans or put a visual to them somewhere, the chances of you being able to execute well on them is very small.This wasn't a real high level thought or deep episode but I just wanted to touch on the importance of simple things like planning.Hope this episode was helpful, thank you all for listening, I know I say this every week but it truly means a lot!Love to you all,God bless.-KyleHit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all! It's just me today and in this episode I talk about Being Kind to other people for just a few minutes a day...We're all on this journey of life together and it can be filled with pain, trauma, hurt, disappointment etc.We never truly know what others are going through but we do have opportunities ever day to make an impact on people's lives by just being kind to then.When I say be kind, I don't mean be fake or be perky or bubbly if that's not your personality, I mean just get outside of yourself and focus on the people around you or those you have the ability to influence in life for just a few minutes.You never know the impact you can make by just engaging with others for even just a few minutes.My challenge for myself and for you in this episode is to take 2-3 minutes, 4 or 5 times a day, to engage with other humans and use those few minutes to think about how you can help them in some way, even if its just sending an encouraging text message or talking to the bagger at the grocery store, every person you're around is an opportunity to get outside of yourself and make an impact on another life.If 7.8 billion people took 10-12 minutes a day to focus on being kind to others think of the difference that would make daily around the world...(I'm not good at math but that's a lot)I hope this episode challenges you and encourages you to take action for just a small amount of time each day.Thank you all for listening, it means so much to me, I'm super grateful to be able to communicate with you all each week, I pray this podcast impacts you in some way.Love to you all, God bless.-KyleHit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all! In this episode I have on my friend, producer and hip hop artist Broderick Perkins. Broderick comes from a family of musicians and has produced and put out multiple albums and projects over the past several years with many referring to his sound as reminiscent of a young J.Cole.Broderick and I had a great conversation around everything from music and relationships, to faith, purpose, sports, and growing up in a bi-racial home.I really enjoyed this conversation and I hope you do to!Thank you all so much for listening, it truly means a lot to me.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleHit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all!I hope you're a positive start to the new year.In this episode I wanted to talk about Success and how we define in, especially in America.It seems to me that most of our culture would say that success is defined as making a lot of money, having a good job, nice car, big house, good relationship etc.And to be very honest I want all of these things as well, I don't think material possessions in themselves are inherently bad.I think the problem lies in defining success by these things.The definition of success that I use in this episode is: "sticking with it through hard things" and "living a life you are proud of."As we think about how we personally think about success I think it's important to ask ourselves HOW we define success, because the way ewe define success will dictate the way we live on a daily basis, and the way we live on a daily basis will determine the reality of our lives.I don't know how to perfectly go about viewing success in a less materialistic way, but I believe it starts with determining what a life that you can be proud of looks like and then reverse engineering from there to determine how you will daily live your life.I hope this episode was helpful and made you think about how you think about success."SUCCESS IS LIVING A LIFE YOU CAN BE PROUD OF."Thank you all so much for supporting and being a part of this podcast, it wouldn't exist without each one of you and I'm extremely grateful.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleHit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch Podcast on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up friends!This is officially the first episode of 2022 and I couldn't be more excited for what's going to happen for the podcast in the new year! In this episode I wanted to touch on the power of how we think.As Tony Robbins says, "your external life is a reflection of your internal life."The way we think is the most powerful thing we do in life, our thoughts have the power to change our lives, for better or for worse.In this episode I talked about Why I think we struggle with negative thinking, your ability to change your life by changing your thinking, and some practical thoughts on How to change your thinking and in turn change your life.I hope this episode was helpful and encouraging to you.Thank you all so much for listening, it means the world to me! Love to you all.-KyleIf you ever have any questions or just want to connect, hit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle Davidor watch the podcast on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

Howdy folks!This is the last episode of the year so I wanted to take some time to reflect on what has happened the past 12 months and also share how I'm preparing for 2022.2021 was a year of lot's of learning and growth for me personally.I think it's extremely important to take an inventory of the things that went well for you this year and also the things that you learned and want to improve upon on the new year.Making a plan for your life and for your year, or whatever time frame you prefer is key to growing and succeeding at anything.As my father always told me growing up, "if you don't have a plan, you plan to fail."I hope some of the things I share in this episode help you as you reflect on your year and prepare for the next.One thing I'm committing to in 2022 is to pray for all of you who listen.I pray that you will have wisdom and that you will use your gifts and talents to make a positive difference in the world and in the lives of those around you.May you all have a year filled with growth, peace and joy.Love to you all,God bless.-KyleHit me up on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all!There are many things in life you can't control, but what you CAN control is the decision you make on a daily basis.Those daily decisions are putting you on a path towards success or failure depending on what they look like.Your future WILL be determined by the choices you make today, make sure you are making choices that will benefit your future self.I hope something I said was helpful,Love to you all, God bless.-KyleConnect with me on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all! I'm excited to be back this week with episode 100 of Inside The Mirror Podcast.In this weeks episode, I sat down with my Father, Jeff Crabtree, as he took over the role of host for a day and interviewed me. We talked about why I started the podcast, what I've learned since starting it, how it's been going, where it's headed and much, much more! My Father is the biggest inspiration in my life and it was a pleasure to get to be interviewed by him and get to share about my vision for the podcast and what I plan to accomplish with it.This episode was special for many reasons, with that being said, I want to thank every single one of you who have listened, watched, or supported me or the show in any way!I'm extremely grateful to be able to do this and equally as grateful for all of you who support and continue to help it grow as we seek to make a positive impact on the world. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart for your Love and support, this is not MY podcast, it's ours and I'm excited for the next 100 episodes and beyond!Love to all of you, God bless.-KyleConnect with me on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber

What's up y'all,  this weeks episode is interesting because it was unplanned,so I'm  calling this a "half episode" because it's pretty short and sweet!The reason for the half episode is that I jacked up the audio when recording episode 100 with my Father. He is out of town most of this week so I wanted to release this half episode to hold you over until we can rerecord episode 100 and release it next week.  Thank you for bearing with me, I'm really excited for episode 100!Until then, episode 99 and a half is about holding your plans loosely in life.As you probably have figured out, life is unpredictable and always changing, plans can quickly get derailed or change, in those moments, what do you do?I propose that you have a plan for problems BEFORE they happen.Here's something that may be helpful, the 3 P's:Problem, Process, Pivot.1. Identify clearly what the exact Problem is2. Process the problem with others who you trust3. Pivot from that problem and take the action you decided on after processingThis is how I imperfectly try to approach problems in my life and hopefully it cab help you too if you don't already do this.Like I said, this one was short and sweet but I hope something I said impacted you.Episode 100 will be out NEXT WEEK!Thank you all for listening,God bless.-KyleConnect with me on social media:Instagram: instagram.com/k.david__/Facebook: facebook.com/kyledavidmusic/Twitter: twitter.com/kyle_crabtree_TikTok: Kyledavid970 Snapchat: kyledavid970Linkdin: Kyle DavidWatch on YouTube:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqTMk53w-pGoXurdppIC_Lw/featured?view_as=subscriber
