What does it take to build a life most people only dream about?Ryan travels to New York to sit down with Dennis Kelly for his third appearance on Powerline Podcast, and this time, they do it in person. Over the course of the visit, Dennis takes Ryan inside the world he has built, from KR Utilities and multiple businesses to airplanes, helicopters, supercars, motorcycles, racing, and the experiences that define his “Live the Lifestyle” mentality.Dennis shares how he went from working in the line trade to building his first fitness centre while working six tens, using every spare hour and available dollar to keep moving forward. He explains why small steps compound, how reputation creates opportunities, why relationships matter, and what it means to live according to your own values instead of someone else’s expectations.This conversation is not about copying Dennis’s lifestyle. It is about deciding what you want your own life to look like and taking practical steps toward it. Dennis breaks down the mindset, work ethic, calculated risks, relationships, and problem-solving that helped him build seven businesses and create a life centred around freedom, progress, and meaningful experiences.Topics covered:What “Live the Lifestyle” really meansStarting a business while working full-time in the tradeTaking one step and solving one problem at a timeWhy your reputation can create opportunities years laterBuilding relationships before you need somethingUsing linework as the foundation for entrepreneurshipWhy success brings bigger problems, not fewer problemsDesigning a life around freedom, values, and experiencesLearning to fly airplanes and helicoptersDennis’s Hurricane Helene rescue and relief effortsBuilding businesses without taking an early paycheckWhy small actions compound into extraordinary resultsInterested in storm work with KR Utilities?
