Taking a Risk and Believing in Yourself: An Interview with Kyle Ascione In this episode of Trade Talks, hosts Kevin Gray and Vinnie Candelore interview Kyle Ascione, the founder of Integrity Asphalt, a paving company in Northern Michigan.

"It was a difficult decision to abandon my career path and go down a different path," Kyle explains. "But I had to trust myself and believe in myself." The conversation then turns to the importance of taking risks and having the courage to make difficult decisions. Kyle shares his experience of having a "gut check" moment. He explains that it is important to do the work beforehand to be prepared, and to not have a plan B as it limits how far one is willing to go to reach their goals. Kyle also talks about his future plans for his business, which include building a room that provides income and opportunities for families, and reaching a five million dollar range. He attributes his success to removing the plan B and surrounding himself with a community of people that teaches him things about personal development. "It's important to take risks and have the courage to make difficult decisions," Kyle says. "You have to trust yourself and believe in yourself." This episode of Trade Talks is a great reminder that taking risks and believing in yourself can lead to success. Kyle's story is an inspiring example of how taking a risk and trusting yourself can lead to great things.
