At just four years old, Kyle Robinson’s life took a dark turn when his stepfather, a man he called Big Bad Ben, entered his world. For the next decade, Kyle and his siblings lived in constant fear, enduring relentless physical and emotional adversity with no escape in sight.
Desperate for an outlet, Kyle fell into destructive habits, unhealthy relationships, and repeated run-ins with the law. Still in high school, he found himself arrested and forced to defend himself in court—an experience that reshaped his future and set him on an unlikely path.
Against all odds, Kyle went on to earn a B.A. in Political Science from Kent State University and a J.D. from Western Michigan Law School. Kyle is an entrepreneur, ultrarunner, and author, using his journey to inspire resilience, self-belief, and transformation in others.

His story of perseverance, redemption, and finding purpose against all odds connects with audiences on a deeply personal level—proving that no past is too broken to build a brighter future.
