Kyle Creek - Regret, Resilience, And Reinvention

Talking points: masculinity, regret, anger, cultureIt's been too long since I sat down with The Captain himself. I am continuously grateful for Kyle's honesty about his own life, his process, and his opinion on things. Which means this conversation is as refreshing as it is frank. Strongly recommend sharing this one, team.(00:00:00) - Why is regret such a thing, are men conditioned to beat themselves up, and should it impact our decisions?(00:10:47) - How a recent writing project nearly broke Kyle, and what he learned(00:18:28) - On Netflix’s “Adolescence”, social media, and male role models(00:26:24) - How Kyle manages anger(00:31:38) - On maintaining discipline and motivation for creative or side projects, and what Kyle would’ve done differently(00:41:41) - Why therapy didn’t work for Kyle(00:49:38) - Kyle’s new bookAs is tradition, I'm share Kyle's unedited bio here because it's...well, it's just fantastic."As a kid, I wanted to be a cowboy. Then, my mom bought me a skateboard and I got on with my life. In college, I decided copywriting was the career move for me and, for the last decade, I’ve held a variety of creative positions both in-house and within agency settings. I’ve also published five books, spoken at events around the country, and educated the masses about shark dating as the host of “Shark Sex 101” for Discovery Channel’s ever-popular Shark Week series.My work has had its share of recognition — but nothing will ever mean as much to me as the “2016 AAF People’s Choice Show Winner” award that I received for tattooing a former employer’s face on my ass as part of a charity auction.My only regret in life is being just a grammar gunslinger and not an actual cowboy. I don’t even own a horse."Connect with Kyle-New book: Speech Therapy: https://m.cmpgn.page/QDc2tx-Website: https://www.kylecreek.com/-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sgrstk/***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?
