I had to get to a point where I knew in my mind that if I don't do something now, I'm not going to survive. I'm going to fight to the death, to turn the ship around, you know, get my mind in a positive, strong place and get rid of the addictions, the gambling and the drinking and everything else.
Ever wondered how someone can transform their life from the depths of addiction to conquering the vast landscapes of Africa? Meet Steven Crompton, a man whose story is nothing short of remarkable. In this episode of TRIBE TALK, host Emily Andrew sits down with Steven to uncover the twists and turns of his life journey. Growing up, Steven faced a tough childhood that led him to drugs and alcohol at a young age.
His quest for belonging took him to the army, where he found structure and camaraderie, but addiction soon caught up with him, resulting in an administrative discharge and spiraling debt from gambling. Steven hit rock bottom, landing in prison and feeling utterly lost. But this isn't just a tale of despair. It's about finding light in the darkest places. Steven shares how running became his lifeline, pulling him out of the abyss and setting him on a path to recovery.
He didn’t stop there; he turned his newfound passion into a mission, founding a charity to help street children gain education and hope. His ultimate test of endurance? Running across Africa to raise awareness and funds for his cause. Facing scorching temperatures and relentless challenges, Steven’s journey is a testament to human resilience and the power of purpose. If you're looking for a story that combines grit, heart, and a dash of adventure, this episode is for you.
