Kyle Talks
Welcome to Kyle Talks, where I’m Kyle and we talk! In this podcast we focus on society, culture, & business! We interview amateurs, professionals, winners and those who are struggling along the way. What can we learn from society and how can we participate in culture? What does creating culture look like for rap artists, producers, youtubers, and even streamers? What’s this health professionals' ideology behind modern science? How can I be better? More important;y, is a hotdog a sandwich? On this podcast our goal is to talk to anyone and everyone. To learn, laugh, cry, and even create with others. We create a culture of communication, learning, and laughs. We sit down with people from all different walks of life, chat with them, and laugh with them. At Kyle Talk’s the name of the game is connection. So, go ahead, download a couple of episodes and get plugged into community and culture! Let’s talk!

(#176) After The Conversation: What I Learned w/ Doug Kaplan
This week, I’m doing something different.
After my conversation with Doug Kaplan pollster, public perception expert, and someone who’s spent years studying how Americans think. I walked away with more than just answers. I walked away with perspective.
In today’s episode, I’m unpacking the biggest lessons I took from our conversation:
• Why people often believe what they feel, not what they know
and how that shapes everything from politics to everyday disagreements.
• The real reason it’s so hard to change someone’s mind
(and why evidence alone almost never does it).
• How to talk to people you disagree with—without losing yourself
Doug gave me one line that genuinely shifted how I see conflict and communication.
• Why conversations matter now more than ever
and what our dialogue actually says about us as a society.
• The hopeful part
Yes, there is something hopeful here. And Doug gave me a new way to look at the future of human conversation.
This is a personal, reflective episode, more focused on the “conversation beneath the conversation.”
My goal? To make sure every listener walks away with something they can actually use in their own life.
If you heard the interview, this will deepen it.
If you didn’t, this will give you the heart of it.
Either way, I hope it encourages you to talk with people, not at them.
