The Build with Jeff Kallil
The Build is a real-time record of what it takes to build something that holds — in business, family, and life.
I'm Jeff Kallil — building Pure Yums, operating Convivial Brands, raising kids, and navigating the pressure that comes with doing all three at once.
This isn’t content. It’s the work behind the work. The hard calls. The internal wrestles. The quiet decisions that shape it all.
If you're building something meaningful — and want clarity without the noise — this is for you.

The Build - Ep 10: 5 Lessons I've Learned as a Father
I recorded this on Father's Day of 2025.
In reflecting on what I have learned to over the last 6 years of becoming a Father, I've found 5 very crucial things that have enlightened my journey as a dad to 3 beautiful children:
1. I must SHOW my children how to live, not tell them.
2. Quality time > Quantity time spent.
3. Apologize when you’re wrong. Lead by example.
4. It’s my job to adjust how I communicate—understanding is my responsibility, not theirs.
5. Confident kids are built through experience—give them real tasks, let them fail, and find their process.
Throughout this episode I share in further detail what each of these points mean to me, and I hope they inspire your journey as a parent or parent-adjacent figure to the people you love in this life.
Enjoy!
