Bipolar is about family, says Kevin. Within his talk, he shares an in-depth and insightful look at the challenges and lessons he and his family of doctors have learned through multiple arrests, eleven stays in psychiatric lockdown for mania, multiple hospitalizations for depression, a twenty-year career at the pinnacle of his sport, and raising and loving a family of his own, and surviving cancer twice. He shares an open-heart, open book approach as he discusses the interplay of the three things he believes have contributed most to his life so far: Behavior, Growth, and Authenticity.
