Comfy Cup Chronicles — #Smallbusinessexpo

When 8-year-old Kyler Russell stepped onto the baseball field in Lenexa, Kansas, he never imagined that his frustration with uncomfortable athletic gear would lead to a groundbreaking invention. Yet, that’s exactly what happened. Today, Kyler’s creation—the Comfy Cup®—is transforming how young athletes stay safe and comfortable in sports like baseball, football, hockey, and martial arts. Let’s take a closer look at Kyler’s inspiring journey and how his kid-friendly solution is making waves in youth sports safety.

Like many young athletes, Kyler loved the thrill of playing baseball. But...

Local small Kansas City businesses came together Wednesday, March 28th for the annual KC Chamber Small Business Showcase inside of Union Station. Around 80 local companies took part in the event that drew a crowd of professionals, including Comfy Cup’s  Co-CEOs, Brandi and Kyler Russell, hoping to learn more about the participating companies.

It was a great experience to see so many awesome companies and people from the Kansas City area come together to celebrate small businesses.  We were particularly impressed with Pro Athlete Inc. and their awesome set-up...we felt like we were at the ballpark!
