The Tension

If you’re a builder, leader, or change-maker, you already know the tension: the push and pull between where you are and where you want to be. It’s the moments when success doesn’t feel like you expected, when growth forces hard decisions, or when challenges test your limits.

Hosted by Travis Penfield, The Tension explores how high-performing leaders navigate these pivotal moments. You won’t find simple solutions here—because the tension isn’t something to be solved. Instead, you’ll hear stories, strategies, and insights to help you manage the tension and turn it into fuel for your personal and professional success.

He finds great fulfillment in “doing life” with his clients. For Kyle, being a financial advisor means walking alongside clients during life’s most exciting moments, such as new jobs, new grandkids, weddings, and other significant life stages. Equally important, he is there for his clients during life’s more challenging times, offering support during moments of loss and grief.
