This episode is with Ken Rideout, one of the fastest masters marathoners in the World, father of 4, financier, and much more. His accomplishments have not come easy, and Ken is the first to point out his losses along the way, including struggles with mental health and addiction, suffering in silence as a functioning junkie 24/7 for 10 years. Ken came to running to overcome his drug addiction and cope with difficult feelings, and his path to elite running is nothing short of remarkable! 

In this episode we talk about:

-how running helped Ken get sober 

-handling negativity with self-belief and resiliency

-leveraging publicity and your platform for good 

-defining success by effort over outcome 

-understanding failure 

-building community with how you show up
