0:00.0	This is trend following radio where great thinking comes alive.
0:10.9	Nobel Prize winners, legendary traders, bestselling authors, and the pros that know what drive us irrational human beings.
0:21.2	I am your host, Michael Covel, not filtered, raw, honest.
0:27.4	That's my passion.
0:33.3	My guest today is Kyle Nell.
0:36.0	Kyle has an extremely interesting background because Kyle has figured out innovation.
0:44.0	Well, he would not say that he has figured it out entirely, but he's done a really good job so far.
