Episode 31: Kayaking the Keys for Hope 2025
In this powerful episode, we listen to Oscar Ortiz—founder of Sebastian Strong and father of Sebastian, whose battle with cancer sparked a national movement—as well as Diego Ramos, Sebastian’s best friend (Jake's good friend from Chapel Hill), and Ryan Chaffin, Diego’s best friend from college. Together, we dig into what it really means to honor Sebastian’s legacy through Kayaking the Keys for Hope, the hard truths about childhood cancer research funding, and how friendship and a shared mission have created ripple effects far beyond what any of us expected. It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that no matter where you are in life, you have a chance to answer the call and be part of something bigger.
