My name is Kyle Wakefield, a 17-year-old with a passion for storytelling, leadership, and amplifying voices that inspire change. As the host of Lead the Way, I’m on a mission to spotlight individuals who are making an impactful difference in the world—whether they’re business leaders, changemakers, or experts in their field.
My journey hasn’t been without challenges. Growing up, I’ve faced my share of hardships, from navigating personal struggles to overcoming societal doubts about what someone my age can achieve. Despite these obstacles, I’ve refused to let circumstances define my future. Instead, I’ve worked hard to channel my experiences into something meaningful—a platform that uplifts others and inspires my generation to think bigger.
Through sheer determination and self-teaching, I launched Lead the Way. Starting a podcast as a teenager meant figuring things out on my own, juggling school responsibilities, and working with limited resources. Yet, I’ve managed to build a growing audience, gain media attention, and earn recognition for the conversations I bring to the table.
While I’m proud of how far I’ve come, I know this is just the beginning. I believe my story—and the stories of those I feature—can resonate with people from all walks of life, showing that even the toughest challenges can lead to great achievements.
With your support, I’m ready to take my podcast to new heights, proving that age and circumstances are never barriers to creating something impactful
