Kyle Broyles is a video editor, a podcaster, a YouTuber, a tech gadget freak, an amateur musician and a lover of craft beer. Since arriving in Japan in 2016 Kyle has been working full-time as a video editor in Tokyo and dabbling in his own creative pursuits. It wasn't until last year with some persistence from Yuki, his wife, that they opened Pintology, a craft beer bar and art space. Just earlier this year, the bar achieved a significant milestone as Kyle reached a point where he felt prepared to leave his day job and dedicate himself fully to their own business.
In the episode, Kyle shares the inspiring story of his journey toward independence and embracing entrepreneurship. He describes how he utilizes the space to not only pursue his artistic goals and endeavours but also foster connections within the vibrant local arts community. Along the way, Kyle candidly discusses the challenges he encountered when venturing into the world of business for the first time. He delves into the strategies he employed to attain success in a bustling marketplace, specifically within the craft beer industry. Moreover, he emphasizes the importance of building a community of like-minded individuals through various bar-hosted events. However, he acknowledges the delicate balance required to engage this community without alienating his core customer base of craft beer enthusiasts.
