About this episode
In this episode of The Sean Trace Show, I sit down with Kyle Depiesse, entrepreneur, husband, father, and founder of Guy’s Trip, to talk about something a lot of men feel but do not always know how to say out loud, success without fulfillment. We get into what happens when you spend years climbing the ladder, only to realize it is leaning against the wrong wall. Kyle shares his journey from corporate America to teaching, stay-at-home fatherhood, and eventually building a lifestyle brand centered on helping men reconnect with purpose, brotherhood, adventure, and emotional steadiness. We talk about the quiet weight men carry, the isolation that can come with responsibility, the role of movement and challenge in opening people up, and why so many men look successful on paper while feeling disconnected underneath it all. This conversation also explores fatherhood, identity, masculinity, friendship, vulnerability, travel, rites of passage, and what it really means to provide for your family beyond money. If you have ever felt stretched thin, stuck in provider mode, or like you are doing everything right but still feeling off, this episode is a real and honest reminder that fulfillment, connection, and being fully alive still matter. What does success actually look like to you, and have you ever realized you were chasing the wrong version of it?
