What does it mean to be a man in today's world, especially a man in business?

What does it mean to be a man in today's world, especially a man in business? Many of us grew up with a certain picture of what a man should be: tough, unemotional, and always in control. But what if that picture is wrong? What if the key to success, both in life and in business, isn't about being a rock, but about personal growth for men? In this episode of the High Voltage Business Builders Podcast, I sit down with Kyree Oliver, a man who has dedicated his life to understanding what makes people tick. We're going to dive deep into the idea of whether men really have to trade love for respect, and how you can build yourself into the leader you were always meant to be.

Kyree's story is a powerful one.

Kyree's story is a powerful one. Growing up without a strong father figure, he had to learn how to be a man on his own. He didn't have a blueprint to follow, so he created his own. He took the best pieces from coaches, teachers, and even his friends' fathers, and used them to build the man he wanted to become. This is a powerful lesson for any entrepreneur. You don't have to have it all figured out from the beginning. You can learn, you can adapt, and you can grow. Your business will evolve, and so will you. The key is to be intentional about it. Don't just let life happen to you. Take control of your own development.

One of the most fascinating things about Kyree is his dedication to learning from others.

One of the most fascinating things about Kyree is his dedication to learning from others. At just 19 years old, he started interviewing people from all walks of life. He's now interviewed over a thousand people, including 65 end-of-life interviews at a senior home. Imagine the wisdom he has collected. He learned that the key to understanding people is to simply listen. This is a skill that is so often overlooked in the business world. We're so focused on selling our ideas and our products that we forget to listen to our customers, our employees, and our mentors. Kyree's story is a reminder that the best leaders are the best listeners.

My guest today is Kyree Oliver. With a background in College Division 1 football, Kyree started his Marketing company in November 2015 & moved from California to Arizona in 2016 & never looked back. Without a real father figure at a young age (as he says, “movies were pretty much my dad at the time”), he learned that he would need to teach himself how to be a man. Along the way, he learned that he could take pieces of people, coaches, teachers, friends’ fathers and build the picture of the man he wanted to become. At 19, Kyree started interviewing people to gather as much information as possible and get a clear view of people & what makes us tick. He has interviewed well over a thousand people now (any type of person you could think of). He’s done 65 end-of-life interviews at a senior home. As Kyree’s goal is to help people, he’s using his knowledge and experience to support the generation of young men. But no matter if you’re young or … even more youthful, you can always learn something from a person with this kind of incredible experience. So, let’s dive into this episode with Kyree Oliver.
