In a recent episode of Successfully Unsuccessful, I had the privilege of sitting down with my good friend Kyle Miller, a passionate entrepreneur whose journey has taken him from humble beginnings in his father’s remodeling business to becoming a respected leader in the construction industry. Kyle’s story resonated with me on many levels, especially his early career experiences. He didn’t follow the conventional path—skepticism about traditional education led him to the trades, where he discovered his calling. After taking a pivotal sales role in a startup manufacturing company, he began building the foundation for what would become a remarkable career, ultimately leading him to venture into his own business.
One of the most powerful themes that emerged from our conversation was the role of faith in navigating major life transitions. Kyle recently made the leap from a leadership role at a successful construction firm to launching his own company, specializing in HOA construction. He shared how this decision wasn’t just about career advancement—it was about following God’s call. Kyle’s faith gave him the courage to step out of a comfortable position and into the unknown, trusting that God’s plan would lead him where he needed to be. His story reminds us that, in business and life, we often have to take risks, but when our decisions are grounded in faith, we can trust that we’re on the right path, even if the future feels uncertain.
Our conversation also touched on the importance of personal growth, humility, and reflection—key components of effective leadership. Kyle’s journey is a testament to how resilience, hard work, and faith in God’s plan can guide us through difficult seasons, both professionally and personally. Whether you’re considering a career pivot, striving to become a better leader, or simply looking for ways to live with more purpose, Kyle’s experience offers invaluable lessons. His approach to aligning his career with his core values and God’s purpose for him serves as a powerful reminder: success isn’t just about what we achieve, but how we grow and whom we serve along the way.
