But you know, I'm convinced that loving everyone, loving god, is the greatest of them all.
Picture a life of incredible endurance and unwavering determination. That's the story of Mike Williams Sr., a Yup'ik man from Akiak, Alaska, who has not only conquered the Iditarod Trail Sled Dog Race 15 times but also maintained over 33 years of sobriety. In this episode of 'The Anonymous Eskimo Podcast', host Ralph Sara sits down with Mike to uncover the layers of his remarkable journey.
Mike's accolades include winning the Most Inspirational Musher award twice and the Mushers Choice award, but his achievements extend far beyond the race track. He has been featured in Sports Illustrated, Good Morning America, and CNN, highlighting his influential role in the Sobriety Movement for Alaska Natives. Yet, at his core, Mike is a family man—a brother, husband, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather.
This episode dives into his early life, military service, and the profound impact of alcoholism on his family and community. Mike’s candid storytelling offers a beacon of hope and a powerful message about breaking the stigma surrounding mental health and addiction. Whether you're battling similar challenges or seeking inspiration from stories of resilience, this episode is a must-listen.
