Don’t Be Scared To Share Your Secrets Online|Kyle Inserra (Restaurant Growth Strategist)|DH095 - a podcast by Shawn Walchef

Kyle Inserra is both a commercial real estate advisor and a media mogul.

To become the latter, he had to risk the former.“Everyone's coming from this fear mindset that you're giving away too much,” Kyle Inserra explained about sharing information on the Digital Hospitality podcast. “They don't want to say anything."The ability to connect with folks digitally and give out information has been a huge thing for me.”
Huge indeed, and even more so — different.Yes, most people in Kyle’s buttoned up, bottom line-oriented industry are not into giving out secret ‘code’ – especially not on social media.

While Kyle's competitors are keeping intel close to their chest and operating on the old guard, Kyle is creating content on Tik Tok as an effort to empower the next generation of restaurant owners looking to understand both sides of the business.

“I focus on giving it all away to the point where I have these crazy notebooks of little ideas that I get because there's so many little things that come to mind,” shares Kyle on his approach to teaching on Tik Tok and other social platforms. “You want to share with folks who are really good at running a restaurant but make bad real estate decisions or bad partnership decisions.”

This is because as a commercial real estate advisor, Kyle views restaurant owners as his partners, not his tenants. He realizes by revealing the ins and outs of what he does in real estate that it allows future clients to better establish their footing so both sides can succeed.For better or for worse, not everyone in his industry is catching up to speed.
“With all due respect to my fellow brokers out there: you make my job easier when you don't do it,” laughs Kyle. “I can shoot you a link to my YouTube video or a site tour or a market update. I'm at a distinct advantage.”
Over the course of the pandemic, Kyle’s content creating approach has challenged conventional thinking in his industry and offered him his own lane.As restaurants re-open and new owners and operators want to rent vacant space, Kyle believes it’s important for each side of the equation to let their guard down and be open.

“Whatever your concept is, my advice to you is be completely transparent with the landlord,” says Kyle. “Starting with, ‘Here's what I do and I only need this much space. Can you do it yes or no?’ And to be honest, be aggressive with the rent.”



Transparency is a two-way street.By Kyle leading with his truth, numbers and goals, his potential partners are more likely to do the same thing so that both parties can prosper.

“Historically, restaurant owners don’t like to share their books,” Kyle notes.“They didn't need to. But it's in your best interest right now to show them.”

While Kyle isn’t sharing books and bottom lines on his numerous social platforms, he is sharing his life and lessons at an impressive clip.For many professionals navigating the internet, drawing the line between business and play can be cumbersome. For Kyle, there’s no line.
“At the end of the day you're building a business and a life,” says Kyle. “And my content is so intertwined. I'm excited to see what it looks like in twenty years.”
In 2021, it’s looking good for Kyle. 
Posting and Connecting Online:Just recently, his open approach to posting his personal life led to a lead in his professional endeavors.

“I've gotten a lead off of a picture with my French bulldog,
