GET TO KNOW KYLE

Yeah, I’m That Guy.

If you read my Big Confession on my homepage, you’re probably wondering “who is this guy that admitted to that on the homepage of his website — and why would I want to get coached by him?”

Yeah, I get it. Past me would probably wonder the same thing. It’s not like I particularly enjoy telling you. But I still do… and here’s why:

I’ve experienced firsthand just how damaging lies (and lies of omission) can be. They hurt the people we love and us. But it was the belief that I wasn’t good enough, hard-working enough, or worthy enough that led me to make the mistakes I did — and those beliefs just weren’t true either.

My coach, Kim Ades, and her journal-based coaching program helped me get out of my head and see that my beliefs were damaging me and everyone I loved. She challenged me to make changes so that I could live the life I really wanted.

Today, I've worked with many different business owners from all industries – To help them reprioritize their lives and start living with more freedom. And I want to help you do the same.

Journey Through Growth and Transformation: A Personal and Professional Timeline

The Furiously Curious Coach standing in front of a booth at an industry expo, showcasing equipment.

I was 26 when I started working in customer support for MDT Sporting Goods, a company that sold accessories for bolt-action rifles. Within a year, I was promoted to sales manager.

My first son was born, but I barely had time to spend with him or my wife, as the pressure to grow the business never stopped.

I became MDT’s sales and marketing manager and started traveling across the globe, building relationships with customers, influencers, and industry leaders.

I was overweight, stressed out, had a broken marriage, had no mental energy for my kids, and was leaning heavily on alcohol and food to keep going.

At Cemetery

In 2019, my daughter Grace Marja was stillborn, and the pain only increased my drive at work, and my faith, family time, and personal values fell to the side.

During my tenure, the business grew in sales from 9 55 million. I was making great money, but I became addicted to the thrill and satisfaction it gave me.

On the outside, things looked good, but behind closed doors, my life and marriage were falling apart because of infidelity, and I was on a downward spiral of self-destruction.

This all started to change when I got coached by one of the best, Kim Ades, from Frame of Mind Coaching. (The best money I ever spent.)

Getting coached helped me see that I didn't need to sacrifice my family, faith, and personal health to run a successful business. This caused a massive realignment in my life that has paid huge dividends.

It gave me the courage to deal with my self hate that stemmed from childhood abuse and neglect.

It allowed me to make the time to invest in my marriage with my beautiful wife Nicole, do the work that allowed for healing and trust to be rebuilt, and have an epic marriage.

It gave me the clarity and confidence to prioritize time for my family, faith, and my physical and mental health.

It has also given me the freedom to play in my opinion, the best game in the world, golf!

Helping over-worked business owners stop sacrificing family, faith, and free time

Meet The Furiously Curious CoacheS

I’m Tray Ardese, Retired Marine

about me image

I’ve always believed in serving with my whole heart. For 26 years, that meant leading over 250 combat missions in an F/A-18D and guiding direct action operations with Special Forces as a U.S. Marine Colonel. Each mission taught me the value of courage, resilience, and loyalty—principles I’ve carried with me throughout my life. Over the course of seven combat tours, I earned a few accolades, like the Legion of Merit, the Bronze Star with ‘V,’ the Purple Heart, and the Navy Commendation Medal with ‘V,’ but what mattered most was the bond I formed with my fellow Marines and the honor of serving my country.

As a Native American from the Choctaw Nation, my heritage has always been a source of strength and pride. It’s helped guide me through some of the toughest moments in my career, reminding me of the generations of warriors who came before me. After retiring from the Marines, I shifted into a new chapter as the director of domestic and international military sales at Magpul Industries. It was a big transition, but I brought with me the same commitment to excellence and leadership that had been honed in the military.

Today, I channel my experience into coaching, consulting, and keynote speaking, sharing the lessons I’ve learned with others. I’m deeply committed to my faith, my family, and giving back to the community. Married to Tammi for over 30 years, we spend much of our time volunteering with organizations that support veterans and children in the outdoors. It’s a reflection of my ongoing dedication to service and the values that have always defined my life.

“Clarity and momentum I didn’t think was possible.”

Working with Kyle at Furiously Curious Coaching has been transformative. He’s helped me break through the mental barriers and limiting beliefs that were keeping me stuck. His honest, insightful approach has been exactly what I needed.

"Kyle's 10 week course provided me with immense growth"

"His course helped me identify how my beliefs were driving my actions, which assisted greatly in helping me improve in all areas of my life. His journal and coaching based approach is helping me become better, both in my personal life and my professional life. I would highly recommend Kyle's course to anyone who is committed to working hard on making their lives better."

"Kyle’s coaching brought honesty, humility, and courage"

He asks hard questions with grace. He challenges with gentleness, yet without letting you hide. At times, the friction was real—but so was the growth. Through our journey, I came to see that some of my deepest beliefs were still in my head and hadn’t fully reached my heart. Kyle’s coaching helped bring those truths deeper, drawing out more honesty, more humility, and more courage. If you’re looking for a coach who won’t just pat you on the back—but will walk beside you as you wrestle, reflect, and rise—Kyle’s the one. I’m grateful for the sharpening, the discomfort, and the clarity he’s helped bring into my life and leadership.”

“This really helped me understand what I believe"

"The coaching was a combination of journaling and thought-provoking questions that helped me understand myself and my motivations, this really helped me understand what I believe. I really appreciated the feedback on journals. I am now better equipped to face the challenges in business and personal life."

“Kyle is half my age, yet has the wisdom of an old man"

I really didn’t know what to expect when I signed up to have Kyle as my coach. Let’s just say that I quickly realized that my expectations were very low as I was challenged deeply by the journaling, the great questions Kyle asked, and the phone calls where he graciously pushed back on some of my responses to the questions asked. All of this was a means to dig deep into every part of my life and there I discovered a lot of stuff I had swept under the rug so to speak and had never dealt with, not knowing, seeing, that these issues were hindering me from real forward momentum in my life. Thanks to Kyle and his coaching course I believe I am on a very good road now with many more tools in my bag to deal with whatever curve ball is thrown at me next. Kyle is almost half my age and yet has the wisdom and an old man with much experience. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a life coach. You will not be disappointed.

"I trust Kyle and his process—it truly works!"

As a solo business owner, it’s easy to get stuck in your own head and lose focus. One-on-one conversations with Kyle and his guided journal prompts helped me overcome mindset blocks and take confident steps to grow and scale my business. Kyle listens, asks thought-provoking questions, and helps you uncover your hidden potential in a positive and empowering way. Regardless of your background or industry, he helps you focus on the present and move forward with clarity. I trust Kyle and his process—it truly works!

"Kyle’s system works, and I highly recommend him."

Before coaching with Kyle, I struggled in my relationships with my family and God. Things were ‘okay,’ but I wanted to excel as a father, husband, and in my Christian walk. Kyle helped me see my true value, making it clearer how to improve these relationships. He doesn’t tell you what to do but encourages deep reflection to guide yourself forward. Through journaling and being open and honest, I gained clarity and growth. Kyle’s system works, and I highly recommend him to anyone driven to better themselves in any area of life.

"Invaluable for both my business and personal growth."

Before working with Kyle, I struggled with managing my growing business and lacked confidence as a leader. Through his coaching, I’ve become more focused, assertive, and effective, both at work and at home. Kyle helped me shift my focus to the 'big picture,' hold employees accountable, and address challenges directly. These changes have improved my leadership and created a more efficient, responsible team. Even my wife has noticed the positive impact! Kyle’s ability to highlight strengths and tackle weaknesses has been invaluable for both my business and personal growth.

"Kyle is an incredibly talented & knowledgeable Coach."

I did not think I needed coaching. To be honest, I fought the process at first. The more we talked, the more I started realizing what I wanted and what I was doing were different. Constant challenging of my beliefs with no opinions given. The main challenge I faced was time management. With a fast-paced growing business and four kids at home, Kyle was able to give suggestions and experiments to try which helped with my time. Most importantly, the whole process gave me clarity like I have never had before. There is a difference between doing things blindly and doing things fully aware. Kyle is incredibly talented and knowledgeable about coaching. As stubborn as I am, he was able to get through and make a difference.

"Working with Kyle wasn’t always easy… but the growth that came from it was invaluable."

Working with Kyle often meant diving into intense discussions, even debates. We sometimes clashed, but those disagreements paved the way for deeper understanding. Getting to know him was a lesson in perspective. Now, as a business and life coach, it's clear why. Kyle champions others and has a knack for sparking insights and driving change. In a world of surface-level talk, Kyle offers real depth. I’m truly thankful to have met him, and highly recommend him if you're after genuine growth.

"Kyle helped me find focus… and I can’t believe how fast it all happened."

This 10-week coaching program with Kyle has opened the door for me to focus on my goals and how I would be able to reach those goals. Everyone has different ways to get to those places, and he does just that, working with you to find what works. He helped steer me in the direction I wanted for my life. Kyle is there to help and guide you through everything and wants you to succeed as much as we do ourselves. I enjoyed the course and couldn’t believe how fast it went by, and I would recommend it to anyone.

"I used to dread social media… now my approach has totally shifted."

I recently spent about 12 weeks with Kyle from Furiously Curious Coaching. I learned a lot about the beliefs I have about my life. It has changed how I view my business and approach advertising on social media. I have gone from dreading that portion of my daily tasks to almost enjoying it. I would highly recommend letting Kyle help open your eyes to the things in your life you struggle with and even the things you don't. It is incredible how many things you might not see as clearly as you think.

Coaching with Kyle has shown me my true strengths and helped me address areas where I am still growing. I now have a much clearer vision of the future and a plan for where to focus my efforts. This is the best investment I could make in myself and my business.

"Before working with Kyle, I was lost in a midlife crisis—now, I have clarity and purpose in my life."

I am at the proverbial “midlife crisis” stage of life. I will be turning 40 this year and will be forced to retire from a sport that's been a way of life since I was 10... I wish I had worked with Kyle 20 years ago to help me with the most important of all coaching and that is the coaching of the mind. Kyle pushes and guides you in a winsome and clear way to help you win in relationships, in your faith, your desires, and discipline. It’s hard to find anyone who has invested the time and energy into my life the way Kyle has. No matter what stage of life you are in, this course is a MUST take. It is truly life-changing.

"Before Kyle’s course, I was stumbling through life… now I’m equipped with the tools for real change."

Before the 10-week course, I was stumbling through daily life without direction. We worked through my beliefs, values, goals, built problem solving skills, skills to evaluate a host of different situations. It’s hard work. Kyle will challenge you! He is not a cheerleader, he is a change maker. If you are ready to put in the effort to face yourself and make changes, I would 100% recommend Kyle to walk beside you as your coach.

"Before Kyle’s course, I was filled with uncertainty… now things are completely different."

Before the 10-week course with Kyle, my day-to-day thought process was filled with uncertainty about my decisions. Kyle gave me insight and direction at being the confident leader I wanted to become. Growing up in a family business, we have our core way of doing things. It was refreshing to talk with someone with an outside perspective. Kyle helped me see differently with the many conversations we had during this time. I did not know I was looking for this course, but making that decision was a life-changing experience.
