Preston Durnford: From Adrenaline Junkie to Addiction Survivor

What I really took away is: I love how he pushes himself, like he said, he goes into the ocean just to be able to, in the middle of the night, to see how much his body can take. Those are the extreme measures that he's taking to get to know and connect with himself more.
Hilary Roberts and Jason Wahler sit down with Preston Durnford, the CEO of Epic Journey and Owner of Fresh Start of California, to discuss his remarkable story. Growing up with a passion for action sports and idolizing stars like Travis Pastrana, Preston seemed destined for an adventurous life. However, his path took a dark turn when he fell into heroin addiction, influenced by his older brother and the wrong crowd.
Hitting rock bottom was a wake-up call, but the journey to sobriety was far from easy. Tragedy struck when Preston's father took his own life and his older brother succumbed to addiction. Despite these heart-wrenching losses, Preston found strength through extreme activities like long-distance running and midnight ocean dips, which helped him reconnect with himself on a deeper level. His story is one of resilience and transformation, showing that even in the darkest times, there's a way forward.
Tune in to hear how Preston turned his life around and now uses his love for adrenaline to inspire others.
