Kenny Kane needs no intro (Unless you’ve never heard of him and that’s OK, too)
This is my brother from another mother. Godfather to my kids. Co-founder of Stupid Cancer. CEO of the Testicular Cancer Foundation. The guy who turned my rage into a movement that reached millions of lives.
We built an empire together. Not the Silicon Valley kind that gets you on magazine covers. The kind that gets 27-year-olds to have a less shittier time when cancer spreads. The kind that teaches men and women it’s not embarrassing to say “something feels wrong down there or anywhere.”
Kenny took over TCF and scaled it from a dozen guys in a room to hundreds online. He also created the “Stressticles”—actual stress balls that teach you what a tumor feels like. Because how else do you get a 19-year-old to understand what might kill him? (Note: On brand, my friend)
His dad got testicular cancer at 50. Kenny was 18. Watched his best friend go through chemo the summer before college. Most kids would’ve buried the trauma. Kenny turned it into a career saving other people’s Dads.
He left Stupid Cancer in 2016. I left in 2019. The movement we built still burns bright. That’s how you know it was real.
Now he’s running Firmspace, writing AI books at midnight, and still answering calls from newly diagnosed guys who found his number online because of 4CHAN. Oh—and loving his wife and two kids because he has testicles he checks regularly as all men should.
Because that’s who Kenny is. The operational genius who makes impossible things happen while everyone else is giving keynotes about them.
Steve Mallett and Michelle Lewis just dropped 2 hours with Kenny on their podcast. You’ll hear about New Orleans balconies, testicular cancer statistics, and why legacy is the only currency that matters.
But what you’ll really hear is a guy who chose to spend his 20s driving across America teaching men to check their balls. While his friends were at Goldman Sachs.
That’s my brother. That’s Kenny Kane.
Listen to the episode. Learn why 9,560 men will get testicular cancer this year. And why 99% will survive if they catch it early.
Because Kenny made sure they would.
Love you, brother. Forever grateful for what we built. #MITTERDERRRRRRR
If this hits home, drop your horror story in the comments and tell me where you have seen it happen. How about a rage repost? Or tag a former colleague just for fun. Every impression pushes this in front of more people who deal with the same mess.
Are you new here? My condolences and my thanks. Follow along and stay loud with the rest of us. More voices means more pressure on a system that counts on silence
