Kyle Layne
Author of Chasing Control.
Creator of More Than Capable.
Chasing Control is the story of the price that is paid when we hide from the truth. It follows one man’s collapse after a life built on lies, manipulation, and self-deceit gives way—and the difficult repair that follows: rehab, amends, honesty, a reformed identity, and the work of building a life that was rapidly tested by unimaginable hardship.
“Chasing Control is the story of us all, amplified through the brutally honest telling of one man's battle with addiction.”
Dustin Diefenderfer
Founder/CEO of MTNTOUGH Fitness
