The Maniac with No Knees – Tyler Kania – #170

CONTENT WARNING – This episode contains many sensitive subjects throughout such as substance abuse, mental illness and suicide. If that will be triggering for you then please feel free to give this episode a miss. Thank you.

My guest this week was the star of his US college rugby team, he made a ton of money in tech, and he’s now an author – he is Tyler Kania.

Tyler has battled mental illness throughout his adult life and has now been diagnosed with bipolar. We discuss how rugby has been a stabilising factor as both a player and a coach with the highs of winning College championships and the lows of two horrific injuries.

This is an incredible episode – I hope you enjoy.
