Ep 18: From Desk Chair to Barstool to Bike Saddle

Episode 18: From Desk Chair to Barstool to Bike Saddle

About This Episode:

In this episode, Dr. Drew Crawford sits down with Kenny Hill, who delves into his gradual slide into a life that didn’t feel like his own, and the steps he took to find his way back. Happy hours and late night habits became a pattern of detachment from his health, energy, and sense of self. Yet, when he picked up a bike, everything began to shift towards reflection, resilience, and reconnection. This conversation is about more than cycling; it’s about waking up, showing up, and rewriting your story when you least expect it.
