Who is Kyle?
Kyle Gagner is a full-time insurance agent whose work with families, farmers, and businesses has fueled his passion for people, and that passion naturally grew into motivational speaking.

Kyle doesn’t just talk at an audience, he connects with them. With high energy, practical insights, and quick humor, he breaks down barriers and makes people feel like they’ve known him for years. Whether it’s a room of executives, a packed church or school, or a county fair crowd, his voice resonates across generations and backgrounds.

A deeper dive
Kyle Gagner grew up in Casselton, North Dakota, where small-town values and a strong sense of community left a lasting mark on his life. Today, he and his wife, Melissa, are raising their four kids—James, Isaiah, Levi, and Hannah—in Cavalier, a town they proudly call home. Life there is a blend of family, faith, and community involvement. If he’s not at the office you’ll probably find him on his mountain bike, running, playing guitar, or dreaming up the next event that will bring people together. Kyle lives what he speaks: rolling up his sleeves for his community and making memories that matter.
Behind the microphone, Kyle’s drive is shaped by those same roots. From Casselton to Cavalier, he knows the grit it takes to run a business, the joy of building something from the ground up, and the faith that keeps you steady through both triumphs and trials. His personal story isn’t polished—it’s real, and that’s what makes it powerful. Whether he’s sharing about family life, small-town entrepreneurship, or finding hope when the odds are stacked against you, Kyle brings an authenticity that makes people lean in and say, “I can relate to that.”
