It was this journey and the subsequent whirlwind of emotions that inspired Kendall and his partner, Corey Stulce, to start the podcast Family Twist.

To all those curious, he invites you to be a part of the Family Twist community, to listen, learn, and share these often untold human interest stories that truly echo the essence of family and belonging.
“Everyone has a story. Everyone has a unique perspective. And you never know how your story can help someone else,” Kendall concludes.
