  • True leaders want to see others succeed.
  • Investing in people creates lasting relationships.
  • Integrity is crucial, even when unseen.
  • Legacy leaders create more leaders, not followers.
  • Purpose-driven decisions align with larger missions.

INDY is short for "I'm Not Done Yet," a phrase often said by the late Kyle Strand during his courageous battle with colon cancer. Kyle's four-year journey was both extremely challenging and profoundly beautiful. Though he lost his battle in July 2017, his legacy lives on through his two dying wishes: to establish the INDY Foundation and to inspire others to live every day to its fullest. In August 2017, the INDY Foundation was born, continuing Kyle's mission to support and uplift cancer warriors everywhere. Find more information here: www.indy-foundation.org
