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 21: Feedback is a Gift (Don't Avoid Hard Conversations)
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
used to avoid hard conversations — and it hurt my leadership more than I realized.
Whether it was fear of conflict, wanting to keep the peace, or just hoping things would “work themselves out,” I stayed quiet when I should’ve spoken up. And it cost me clarity, trust, and growth.
In this episode, I share how I’ve grown through that, what shifted in me, and why feedback — even the uncomfortable kind — is one of the greatest gifts in leadership.
We talk about:
- The hidden cost of avoiding hard conversations
- How to give (and receive) feedback with strength and care
- What changed when I stopped fearing conflict
- Why clarity and accountability create real trust — at work and at home
If you’ve ever struggled to speak the truth — or wished someone had spoken it to you sooner — this episode is for you.
Hope you enjoy.
