Today's guest is a dear friend of mine who I've shared many meals with, a few stages before, Kyle Banks. In the middle of living out his dreams, performing on Broadway and working with some of the biggest names in the music industry, a type 1 diabetes diagnosis changed everything. In this episode, Kyle shares his journey from the bright lights of Broadway to starting up Kyler Cares and how that work has grown from helping a few families in his network with diabetes to serving over 2000 students with T1D in the New York City public school system. We'll talk about the problems these kids and families are facing, how Kyle secured a major grant to tackle them, and why this work has the potential to scale nationwide. This conversation is going to be inspiring, eye-opening, and one that you're going to want to hear all the way through.
Quick Takeaways:
- Kyle’s story
- Addressing the needs of T1D families and getting them the support they need
- The biggest problem kids with Type 1 Diabetes are facing in public schools right now
- Project 31
