REAL TALK:

Kyle was a blast. Humble and accomplished guy. I was thankful that he was gracious with his time and sharing his knowledge and some invaluable tips and advice. I loved the his backstory on how he got started in this industry and how he created his agency. Seemed like it was very unexpected and he didn’t initially see himself doing this professionally. I feel that’s sometimes the best way in going about creating something.

The actor in me always wants to know what talent agents and managers think of me and my work? How to grab their attention and impress them? What are they looking for in talent to represent? Kyle provided many of those answers. Granted, his approach and mindset may be different than other managers and agents, but there is tremendous value of knowing what someone in that position is thinking in regards to the talent.

Kyle has a great grasp on the digital marketplace. What brands and companies are looking for and what talent can offer. It’s a part of the entertainment industry that’s continuously expanding and getting bigger. Some people make a career out of being an influencer. Imagine that, say, 15 years ago. Kyle is doing some big things, so check out his work and how to follow him and his company in the links below.
