Send us a text What shapes us as fathers? For Kyle Rampy, Vice President, Central Region, at Tier 4 Group and father of four children under ten, the answer lies in embracing the light and shadow of his past. In this heartfelt conversation, Kyle takes us through his journey from a childhood fractured by divorce at age four to building a stable, values-driven home for his family. With remarkable vulnerability, he shares how moving between his mother in Kansas and father in Texas shaped his understanding of family dynamics, including a pivotal moment in third grade when missing over a month of school led to a custody change that would alter the trajectory of his life. Rather than glossing over difficult topics, Kyle dives deep into how his mother"s struggles with depression impacted him, and his ongoing work toward forgiveness while she battles cancer today. "There"s forgiveness there, even though there"s been hurt," Kyle reflects, showing how breaking generational patterns often begins with healing our own wounds first. The conversation shifts to Kyle"s parenting philosophy, built around three core values: leading with love, maintaining strong faith, and demonstrating unwavering integrity. His practical approach to emotional regulation stands out—instead of escalating tension when his children become upset, he"s learned to get down on their level and ask curious questions. "What"s causing you to have this reaction or emotion?" This simple shift has created not only a more peaceful home but also deeper connections with his children. We also explore Kyle"s professional journey in staffing, his work at Tier 4, and his passion for supporting Women in Technology initiatives.  His values inform his leadership style, you will see firsthand during this episode. The episode concludes with a lightning round revealing everything from his favorite comedy movies (Billy Madison or Happy Gilmore) to who would play him in a movie (Ryan Reynolds).
