info_outlineIn this inspiring episode of the Spread The Positive Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Yepsen, the Deputy Director of CreatiVets, an organization dedicated to helping veterans heal through art and music. Kyle shares his deeply personal connection to this mission, stemming from his own experiences as the Gold Star brother of LCPL Luke Yepsen and his transformative encounters with veterans and their stories of resilience.

During his tenure as the NASA racing, German Touring Series (GTS) director, Kyle not only excelled in his field but also made significant contributions to the Texas road racing community, earning the BMW Car Club of America lifetime achievement award.
In 2017, after a profound shift in perspective influenced by his brother’s service and sacrifice, Kyle made the bold decision to leave the racing world to focus full-time on supporting our nation’s military veterans. Through CreatiVets, he channels the therapeutic powers of art and music to aid veterans grappling with post-traumatic stress, traumatic brain injuries, and other service-related traumas.
Listen in as Kyle discusses his evolution from business entrepreneur to veterans’ advocate, the healing power of creative expression, and his vision for the future of CreatiVets. His story is a compelling reminder of how personal loss and healing can inspire a life dedicated to uplifting others.
