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.

(#190) The AI Grocery Revolution w/ Andy Ellwood
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Groceries are getting more expensive, AI is moving faster than ever, and many people are wondering how technology will shape everyday life.
In this episode of Kyle Talks, I sit down with entrepreneur Andy Ellwood to talk about business, artificial intelligence, and the future of consumer technology.
Andy has built and exited companies acquired by Facebook and Google, and earlier in his career even sold planes for Warren Buffett. Today he’s building Stretch, an AI-powered grocery platform designed to help families find the cheapest groceries in real time and navigate rising food costs.
But this conversation goes far beyond groceries.
We talk about the rise of AI agents, the responsibility of tech founders, and whether artificial intelligence will empower consumers… or slowly begin making more decisions for us.
This is a thoughtful conversation about entrepreneurship, technology, and the future we’re building.
Because the biggest question may not be what AI can do — but who it ultimately serves.
What We Discuss
• What Andy learned selling planes for Warren Buffett
• Building companies that were acquired by Facebook and Google
• Why groceries are one of the biggest financial pressures for families
• How the AI-powered grocery app Stretch works
• How Stretch actually makes money
• The rise of AI agents and what they could mean for everyday life
• Whether AI empowers consumers or risks replacing human decision-making
• The responsibility tech founders have in shaping the future
