Kyle visits the Teacup Studio “Raw and Uncut” to discuss his amazing Cross Country season. We go from the adrenaline-fueled world of cross country running to the quieter challenge of facing “the C word.” He takes the time to share his love for the game and then paved the way for the host to share his recent health problems. This episode promises insights into both the world of young athletes striving for excellence and the internal strength required when life throws you a curveball.

As we wrap up, we touch on the poignant and oftentimes humorous aspects of living with a serious health condition. The host opens up about his journey from diagnosis to treatment, using creative ways to communicate with his six-year-old daughter and the community around him. This episode is a heartfelt reminder of the resilience required to face life's challenges head-on, whether on the XC course or in the doctor's office.

*Huge shoutout to Kyle for taking this opportunity for me to share my journey through tough times. He didn’t have to do it. He wanted to do it. Thank you brother.
