Summary: <br> <br> <a href="https://thesisuway.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Sisu Way</a> is defined as strength and determination in the face of adversity. Persistence. Hope. GRIT. An unbeatable mindset full of courage, tenacity, resilience, willpower, triumph, and an unconquerable soul. They say the finest souls are those who gulped pain and avoided making others taste it. Well ladies and gentlemen, that is my brother and esteemed guest, Kenny Kane. <br> Kenny Kane is lighthouse to many of us, but even lighthouses have shadows. If strength is a product of suffering and struggle, then Kenny is by far one of the strongest people I know. He has faced a massive amount emotional trauma and death packed on top of each other. He was force fed a beautifully violent lesson in the balance of life and death. In the face of this much pain and chaos, how do you do the most good? How can we use our resources to be in service to something greater than ourselves?<br> If there is a lesson I have learned from late world-class <a href="https://ishof.org/marion-kane.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Coach Marion Kane Elston</a> through her son Kenny, it is you have to be willing to get up strong each and every time without complaint. You have to put in the effort and open yourself up to the experience, or the time won’t come.<br> This episode was an honor for me record, but the real honor was the vulnerable and heartfelt conversation.
