Kyle Duford - Author, Brander, Thought Leader, and an Old Friend
Manage episode 332536569 series 3300659
Our next guest is Kyle Duford. He is an author, brander, speaker, thought leader, and advocate for men’s mental health. We met 17 years ago in the Triathlon Universe and have been friends ever since. He cut his teeth with Carmichael Training Systems, Retül, Inside Triathlon, and SKI Racing magazines.
We delve right into the heart of mental health with his unique but relatable story of the challenges, pitfalls, and the search for mental wellbeing. Kyle shares his inspiration with unfettered enthusiasm as we learn from his intense life experiences.
Kyle just published his first book, Twice Found an autobiographical story of how his life has changed and how he and his wife found each other again after 20 years without speaking.
Content warning: We do speak on the subject of suicide and attempted suicide.
