On this episode of the Driving Change Podcast, Jeff dives into the depths of family legacy, dreams, and the cost of pursuing them with author Kelly Lytle. His book, “To Dad from Kelly,” is an intimate memoir detailing his relationship with his father, a professional football player who paid the ultimate price for his dream. Kelly delves into the profound lessons learned from his father and how he wrestles with the lingering questions left unasked and unanswered following his sudden death at 56. Beyond his book, Kelly is working on serialized stories available on his sub stack newsletter, blending nostalgia, reflections, sports passion, and the fleeting nature of childhood memories. Jeff compares Kelly’s unique storytelling style to a fusion of Ernest Hemingway and Nicholas Sparks, hinting at an even more promising future for this talented author.

I come from a large Italian family. I’m number seven in the line of ten kids!

When my dad passed away some years ago, I was fortunate enough to be there as the end was coming. I was standing just to the right of his hospital bed; he was lying there with his eyes closed. All of a sudden, Dad opens his eyes. He looks up at the ceiling with a look of peace – and maybe accomplishment – on his face. Then he closes his eyes for the last time. I guess out of instinct, I reached down and kissed him on that prickly cheek one last time. My dad left a legacy in that life well lived! A legacy based on three main principles: Family, Service, and Dedication. I do what I do to carry on that legacy to the best of my ability.
