Podcast Description
Welcome to The Plug — the show where real people talk real business.
I’m Jeff Kohl — builder, entrepreneur, and connector. I’ve made the mistakes, learned the lessons, and now I’m sitting down with others who’ve done the same.
Each episode, I talk with founders, CEOs, tradespeople, athletes, and wildcards about the ups, downs, and everything in between — from deals and career pivots to comebacks and construction. It’s unfiltered, insightful, often funny, and always real.
Whether you’re building a business, a house, or just your next chapter — you’re in the right place.

Kyle Sulkar (Sulkar Media, CPX Pickleball) breaks down how he used digital marketing, including Facebook ads, content, and now AI, to build one of the first direct-to-consumer pickleball paddle brands from the ground up. Before pickleball, Kyle spent a decade running an advertising agency, flipping cars, and testing (and failing at) multiple e-commerce products. This episode is his full playbook: what worked, what didn’t, and how he thinks about digital marketing today. We cover the real difference between marketing and advertising, how AI is changing content creation and customer service, and the specific digital marketing decisions behind launching CPX Pickleball.
