In this powerful episode, we sit down with Tyler Kania, author of The Maniac with No Knees, to explore his incredible real-life story of resilience, mental illness, and redemption. Tyler was a rising rugby star with dreams of greatness — until a rare, devastating knee injury triggered his first manic episode as an undiagnosed Bipolar I Disorder patient.

From quitting a six-figure cybersecurity sales job and surviving a near-death experience in the Grand Canyon, to building and losing a $450,000 crypto venture, Tyler’s journey spans the peaks of mania and the valleys of suicidal depression. He opens up about the raw truths of living with bipolar disorder, the misunderstood beauty of manic energy, and the dark reality of surviving suicide ideation.
