Keepin' It Candid With Kyle Hollis

Back at it with Brian on April 10th and during this episode we talk about getting back into religion and what it means for us at this point in our lives. We also touch on working as a solo-preneur and how that journey is going for me.

Here is an episode from February 27th 2022. Life has been hectic with a newborn and I am playing catch up.  During this episode, Brian and I talk about wedding planning, a future casino in Virginia, Thor's cataracts and the largest land mass in the world!

This week's episode features two special guests, Bobak and Lee. We've been meaning to get together tot talk sports and we had a chance to get together early on NBA All Star weekend to do a quick recap. We talked about the Super Bowl, NBA All Star Weekend, the Winter Olympics, and Adam Sandler? It may sound random but there is a valid transition built in there!

I am no longer an employee and I officially work for myself. This week Brian and I talk about ways to manage business cash flow as an entrepreneur!

Last episode was all about NFT's and now we are talking about the magical Metaverse! Where is it going to be? How many Metaverses are there? How do we profit off of this early on??

Everyone is talking about the Metaverse and NFTs. None of it has been interesting so far but maybe we should jump on this bandwagon in case there is a way to profit during these early days. Do you own any NFTs? Why or why not?

Welcome to the 6th edition of our New Year's Resolution episode! Are you ready for a fresh start and some new goals? We are here to put our resolutions out there into the universe so that everyone can hold us accountable. Care to join? If so, leave us a review with your resolutions in the comment section.

Brian returns from his trip to catch up with us. We chat about those first back to office moments for Jonathan, some new shows we are watching, the weirdest things we've eaten, and transitioning back to work after a long break.

Jonathan and I are back after taking a weekend off for Thanksgiving and to celebrate my birthday. We chat about alternative work schedules, Thanksgiving plans, random movies and more!

Another 365 days is almost in the books! How do you feel about this year? Did you hit those marks that you set for yourself? How about work goals? It's about time for another round of performance evaluations. In this episode we also talk about the difference between strategy and execution and organizational structures.

It is the middle of November and we are due for another talk about how we spend most of our waking time working and less time enjoying our lives.

Northern Virginia is working on renaming one of the roads that runs through the county, Lee Jackson Memorial Highway. In this episode, we talk about the Virginia midterm elections, people being triggered without knowing why, and how we are slowly erasing any trace of the Confederacy.

One of the most popular questions that I get asked on LinkedIn is "How do I get into Project Management?" In this episode, we break down a few of the ways you can make the transition into becoming a PM and how taking on some more responsibility can mean gaining the experience you are lacking.

If you realized that a story was exaggerated, would that change how you felt about a person and/or event?

We watched the newest Chappelle special, The Closer, on Netflix and wanted to give it a quick rundown! Heads up, it isn't worth the time in my opinion.

Do you think the way work experience is measured in job descriptions is flawed? In this episode, we discuss job descriptions, requirements, and past performance.  

Are there certain things you are more willing to pay for as you begin to make more money? For example, this could be food delivery services, luxury vehicles, private movie theater rentals, or something like valet parking. Have you noticed yourself paying a premium for a service if it makes your life a little easier?

It's hard for us all to get together during the summer months but we finally rallied the troops this episode! I'm back with both Brian and Jonathan and we talk about our preference of hotels vs. Airbnb while traveling.

Let's say that you're allowed to work from home indefinitely and your company is getting rid of its office space. Should your pay be adjusted to reflect where you are working from now or should you be paid the same as before? Has this happened to you or has this been a topic of conversation at your place of employment?

Sometimes it is hard to get these ruminating thoughts out of my head. I wonder if it is like this for everyone...
