CEO Unscripted Ep. 15 | Kyle Wilson Competing in a Global Workforce Through Sales and Leadership

In this episode of SCLA’s CEO Unscripted Speaker Series, we sit down with Kyle Wilson, Founder of Thrive Modal and Yellow Diamond Logistics, to unpack what leadership really looks like in a rapidly changing global workforce. Kyle’s journey didn’t follow a traditional blueprint. After graduating from Emory University with an economics degree and uncertain job prospects in the aftermath of the recession, he entered the logistics industry through cold calling and commission sales. What followed was a decade of grit, relationship-building, and firsthand exposure to how businesses scale, break, and rebuild. That experience ultimately led him to entrepreneurship, where he now helps companies optimize operations, rethink cost structures, and leverage global talent to grow sustainably. In this conversation, Kyle challenges common myths about college success, grades, and career security. He shares why sales and people skills remain irreplaceable, how risk tolerance and confidence shaped his leadership path, and why today’s students are entering a workforce that is no longer local, but global. From building companies offshore to navigating leadership with clarity and conviction, Kyle offers an unfiltered look at what it takes to lead in today’s economy. At the heart of his message is a candid reminder: “You’re no longer competing with just your city or your state. You’re competing with the world.” This episode is a must-listen for students and emerging leaders thinking about entrepreneurship, sales, global business, and how to future-proof their careers in an increasingly connected world. 🔥 Kyle’s insights speak directly to students navigating uncertainty, ambition, and the pressure to stand out after college. 📌 Subscribe for more conversations with today’s CEOs and founders on SCLA’s CEO Unscripted 🔗 Instagram: @the_SCLA 🎧 Available on Spotify & Apple Podcasts 🌐 https://www.thescla.org/
