Leadership, Culture, and Owning Your Growth

In this episode of Making the Ideal Real, host Ryan Goulart is joined by Kyle Sale, one of think2perform's newest fractional leaders, for a candid conversation about leadership, self-discovery, and the journey to becoming your ideal self—at work, at home, and in the world.

From running a 60-person business in Austin at age 28 to coaching leaders through transformation, Kyle shares lessons on emotional intelligence, overcoming imposter syndrome, and leading with authenticity. They discuss why soft skills are actually the hardest to master, how culture is shaped by everyday actions, and the surprising role a pocket journal played in Kyle's personal growth.

Whether you're a founder juggling vision and execution or a rising leader navigating doubt, this episode offers insights to help you slow down, reflect, and lead from a more grounded place.
