Keep Sowing | Ep 139

You ever get to that point where you're like... what am I even doing this for?

I'm not talking about depression or some existential crisis. I'm talking about that real moment when you're grinding, pouring yourself out, and it FEELS like you're screaming into the void. Like nobody's listening. Nobody cares. And honestly? I had that moment today.

I've been recording this podcast for like 140, 150 days straight. I don't promote it. I don't dedicate a ton of energy to blasting it on social media. I'm just... here. Showing up. Sharing my story. And sometimes my brain whispers: "Kyle, who's really even tuning in?"

Then, and I mean THIS, I get these little God whispers. Little moments that crack everything open.

I'm at Chipotle (yeah, I eat there like five times a week, don't judge me). And this woman behind the counter looks at me and says: "Do you work at Redemption?"

Turns out? She just got out of prison on Wednesday. WEDNESDAY. And she heard me on a podcast while she was locked up. Heard my story about doing wastewater, being incarcerated, starting with one car, building all this from nothing. So she researched me. Obsessed over it actually. Found everything she could about me.

Then on her way to work... she saw my dealership.

And lost her mind.

Because the person she'd been studying while inside... was suddenly standing in front of her ordering a burrito bowl.

We talked for like five or six minutes. I told her the real truth—it's gonna be hard, stay focused, save money, get educated, come see me if you need help. And you know what she said?

"You made my day."

And bro... she made MINE.

Because suddenly I wasn't talking to myself anymore. Suddenly all those times I questioned the point... it made sense. It was ALL worth it.

Here's what I need you to understand: The impact you're making right now? You can't see it yet.

You're raising kids and they're going to remember how you showed up. You're building a business and someone's watching. You're hitting the gym and you're inspiring somebody who wasn't brave enough to start. You're learning a skill, changing careers, pushing through pain, and somewhere, someone who needed to see that is watching.

It's the butterfly effect, man. Everything you put out comes back to you. What you sow, you reap. But here's the twist, you might not reap it where you sowed it. You might meet a stranger at Chipotle nine years later who proves it all mattered.

So when you're in that dark season... when you're making huge investments with nothing to show for it yet... when you're raising a wayward kid or fighting for your marriage or grinding in your business and it feels POINTLESS...

Keep sowing those seeds.

Not because you'll see immediate results. Not because Instagram's gonna blow up. But because somewhere, someone just got released from prison and they heard you. They researched you. And they're about to need exactly what you're building.

Trust that. Be confident in that.

Because I'm telling you from experience: It's landing exactly where it's supposed to.

In this episode:

• The two moments that changed my entire day (and proved why I keep showing up)
• The real conversation with someone fresh out that broke me open
• Why "what's the point?" is actually the wrong question
• How to stay faithful when you can't see the fruit yet
• The butterfly effect of your daily decisions
• Why your invisible work is doing MORE than you know

This one's for everyone questioning the point of their grind. Keep going. Keep sowing.
