Ep 55: Kyle McGill (Amber River) - "My upbringing wasn’t particularly stable"
In this powerful and deeply personal episode, we sit down with Kyle McGill, a Financial Planner at Amber River, whose story is anything but ordinary. Kyle opens up about his challenging childhood, growing up with an alcoholic mother, no father figure and the emotional scars that followed her passing. Far from letting his past define him, Kyle shares how it became the fuel that drives his relentless pursuit of growth — not just professionally, but as a father, a man, and a human being. Now raising a two-year-old son with his ever-supporting wife, Kyle reflects on the lessons he’s learned, the values he’s building his life around, and the mindset that keeps him never satisfied, always pushing to be better in every area of his life. This episode is about resilience, fatherhood, and the quiet, daily grind of becoming the person you needed when you were younger. If you’ve ever struggled with your past, or you’re on a journey of personal growth, this one will hit home.
