Kyle Hunt

Twelve years ago, you couldn’t spot me without a drink in my hand.

Six nights a week.
Out with friends.
Partying like the world was ending.
Because that was just “being social,” right?

2 weeks ago, I went out with a big group of guys.
Heavy hitters in my industry.
Drinks everywhere.
Shots going around like candy.

And me?
I had zero urge to join in.

So, what changed?

Simple.
I met my wife.

She never touched alcohol.
(No objection to it, just never wanted it).

Our early dates?
I felt like the odd one out, always ordering a drink while she just smiled and sipped water.
To be honest, it made me pay attention to my habits for the first time.

Over time, things shifted.
One less drink here, one less there.
The wild nights faded.
Now, it’s maybe a drink or two, and only for a real celebration.

Turns out, the right person doesn’t just accept you - they actually make you better, whether you realize it or not.

Wild how someone else’s example can rewrite your own story.

Ever had someone change your life without trying?
Share yours or tag them.

**ACQUIRED** Co-Founder / CEO

Roland Corporation U.S.

Global Paid Search Marketing Manager

MuteSix

Manage paid search activation & strategy for clients across a range of verticals, including food & beverage, fashion, and entertainment.

In this role I've had particular success scaling tough accounts, using novel targeting on YouTube & Display, and adding value through landing pages and CRO optimization. 

MuteSix was recently acquired by Dentsu/iProspect.

My clients typically spend between $20k and $200k+ monthly, with 100% of that spend going to specific ROAS/revenue goals. I'm a ROAS-focused and data-savvy manager, but also understand the role of creative in the sales process.

Paid Search Campaign Manager

Tim Keen Digital

I create e-commerce and affiliate websites based around keyword research, and then promote them using social media marketing, PPC, and SEO.

I found that my analytical training and customer service experience served me well in digital marketing, and my business has grown from an initial $300 investment to over $40k in revenue in the first year.

Along the way I've:
- Become Google Ads, Google Analytics, and Hubspot Inbound Marketing Certified,
- Cracked 500% ROAS on Google Shopping,
- Signed up over 10,000 MailChimp subscribers using interactive quizzes,
- Done SEO, getting my sites in the top 10 for a bunch of high-volume keywords,
- Developed and maintained complex Wordpress installations,
- Managed a team of ~300 affiliates and 3-5 freelancers,
- Written copy for promotional materials and blog posts,
- Managed Facebook and Instagram ad campaigns, influencer campaigns, and giveaways,
- Kept customers happy.

Business Owner

Gold Diggers

I worked as part of a small team to run a brand new 9-room commercial recording facility in Hollywood.

Our clients are often high-profile artists and songwriters, and expect a commensurate standard of engineering and hospitality.

Some of my recent engineering and assisting credits are: Goo Goo Dolls, Flea, dvsn, Nate Ruess (fun.), Yellow Days, and Lauren Sanderson. 

I have also managed hospitality for corporate film shoots and events. Our clients have included Spotify, Apple, Guitar Center, and Splice.

Recording Engineer

Kaplan Test Prep

After graduating from the University of Melbourne, I used my biomedical science training to prepare thousands of students for the MCAT, PCAT, DAT, and OAT, both in a traditional classroom setting and, more often, in an Adobe-based digital learning environment (Live OnLine, or "LOL" (no, really)).

My role requires teaching everything from reading comprehension to physics, essay writing to statistics, philosophy to biochemistry, and "how to rotate objects in your head, for future dentists". All Kaplan teachers have scored at or above the 90th percentile on each section of every test that we teach.

We work remotely and, frequently, synchronously: teams of 2-5 teach and provide live and email assistance to classes of between 20 and 200 students.

I have also presented and assisted at Kaplan sales events, providing students with an authority resource to answer their questions and guide them to the right test prep option for them.

Teacher

My band, "Ought," released our first record in April 2014 on Montreal's Constellation Records. 

Following unexpected critical success we made two more records - one more on Constellation and one on Merge Records - and played almost 400 shows over four years in the US and Europe, including performances at Primavera Sound, Pitchfork Festival (Chicago and Paris), and Roskilde.

I also co-ran a small record label, Misery Loves Company, which recorded and released limited-run cassettes by local underground musicians and similarly-minded weirdos.

Musician

I help 7 and 8-figure brands find agencies they love | 1x exit | $100M revenue from TikTok & FB Ads

I'm a musician who fell into marketing.

I went to music school for classical violin.

Then I toured the world playing drums in a rock band for 5 years.

Eventually, I needed some money. 

So I dipped my toe in the world of marketing.

Cut to five years later. I've:

• built and sold a 7-figure agency, 
• trained 200+ agency owners on how to get dream clients on LinkedIn

But my goal was always to make music.

I'm now doing that - while helping B2B business owners get dream clients on LinkedIn.

Building the best DTC agency in the country with some ecom legends.

I trained a GPT on 1,000+ LinkedIn DMs that closed millions in revenue. 
​
Now it writes your DM replies for you.
​
Here's the deal…
​
Everyone KNOWS the LinkedIn DMs are the biggest untapped opportunity right now. But most people have no clue how to actually structure conversations that book calls.
​
They either sound too salesy... or too passive.
​
And they wonder why they aren’t booking in sales calls (even if their initial DMs get replies)
​
So I built something to fix this.
​
I trained a custom GPT on thousands of real DM conversations that booked high-ticket calls at the highest level.
​
Now all you do is:
​
- Copy/paste your LinkedIn conversation
- Let the GPT analyze where you are in the sales process
- Get the perfect reply that moves the conversation forward
​
It's like having a 7-figure DM setter in your back pocket.
​
Our team has tested this on 100s of conversations, and the results were too good not to share.
​
So for the next 48 hours, I'm giving it away for free.

i help you build an ideal client/customer machine | 1x exit | GTM strategy for agencies & SaaS

This sales process has closed over $5,000,000 in B2B deals for me (including True Classic and many other enterprise clients)
​
I'm giving you the entire framework for free.
​
Because here’s the deal…
​
A LOT of founders are struggling to charge the prices they used to a few years ago. 
​
Everyone and their grandma has an offer nowadays with case studies that claimed to have ‘10x’d revenue in 30 days’. 
​
Prospects are numb to it. 
​
That said…
​
Now more than ever, you absolutely MUST find a way to stand out in the sales process.
​
So…
​
I put everything I know about closing high ticket deals into 1 doc. 
​
Something you can turn into a repeatable framework that builds trust with prospects, and allows you to actually charge what you’re worth. 
​
Inside this playbook, you'll get:
​
(1) Pre-call qualification to filter out tire-kickers in the DMs
(2) Discovery call framework that makes prospects sell themselves
(3) My 5-part audit system that positions you as the only logical choice
(4) How to present pricing without sounding needy or justifying rates
(5) The "W" question method for extracting hidden objections
(6) 4-step closing call structure that removes pressure and gets decisions fast
​
(BONUS) My complete LinkedIn DM playbook (the system that feeds these calls)
​
This is the same framework I used to charge $5k-10k retainers (and not feeling hesitant about it) back when I was scaling my agency.
​

And I'll personally DM it to you.

Fortune 500 companies begged to work with my agency.

​
1/ Lead magnets that generate 1000s of opt-ins monthly
2/ Authority-building listicles that position you as the expert
3/ “Steal my workflow” posts that get prospects reaching out asap
4/ Social proof carousels that showcase your results
5/ Industry commentary to start conversations
6/ Brand story posts to build authentic connections
​
And for every post, I’ve included…
​
→ The ONE psychological trigger that makes it perform
→ Hook templates you can plug your expertise into
→ Specific improvements to make each post even better
→ Engagement strategies to maximize reach
→ Follow-up sequences for the DMs that come flooding in
