Trade Wars, Controlling Political Parties, & A Golfing Life Lesson

Work with Kyle 1:1: calendly.com/kylevanruit/discovery-chat

The Briefcase & The Barn is hosted by two Dutch Reformed misfits who’ve spent most of their lives in the church’s side-eye.

Kyle Van Ruitenburg is the PK and connections guy who’s been around the world (and yes—straight off the boat). Gary Baars is the money guy who’s been around just about every farm and cow.

Together, they have blunt, funny, real talk about business, life, faith, culture, and the stuff Christians usually don't talk about.

Recorded on the west coast of Canada in Chilliwack, BC.

New episodes every Wednesday at 5 am PST.

Created & produced by The Furiously Curious Company.

In this episode of The Briefcase and the Barn, Kyle and Gary dive into the impact of trade wars, discussing how tariffs affect businesses, the economy, and the everyday lives of Canadians. They also break down the power dynamics within political parties and question how much freedom elected officials really have to speak their minds.

The conversation shifts to personal growth with a surprising lesson from the golf course, highlighting the importance of self-awareness, tracking progress, and facing reality. They also discuss the value of honest coaching, the dangers of false confidence, and how small, consistent habits lead to real change. The episode wraps up with insights on leadership, discipline, and staying grounded in truth.
