Kyle Scheele

"Patron of Outrageous Ideas," Keynote Speaker & Author

Kyle has been called “the patron saint of outrageous ideas.” Whether he’s having a Viking funeral for the regrets of 21,000 people, hosting the world’s first fake marathon, or gaining a million TikTok followers in just 25 hours, Kyle is always on the lookout for outrageous ideas that produce wildly outsized outcomes.  Over the last decade, his projects have been featured in outlets like Fast Company, WIRED, The Washington Post, Yahoo!, BuzzFeed, UpWorthy, Goalcast, and more.  His videos have been viewed over 250 million times, and he has spoken to hundreds of thousands of audience members across the United States.  More than anything, Kyle hopes that his story can inspire others to chase their own outrageous ideas and become the people they were meant to be.

Kyle is also the author of “How to Host a Viking Funeral: The Case for Burning Your Regrets, Chasing your Crazy Ideas, and Becoming the Person You’re Meant to Be” and the children’s book, “Pizza with Everything on it.”
