And that's what faith has been for me, man. Faith has taken me to where I am today, helped me create a peer program at a hospital that probably has some of the worst stigma in the country. And, uh, you know, we have beds, we're expanding, we're going to be doing primary mental health.
What happens when an MMA fighter faces addiction and incarceration, yet emerges as a beacon of hope? Meet Daniel Ritchie, an Ohio recovery advocate whose journey is anything but ordinary. In this episode of 'The Way Out', co-hosts Charlie and Jason sit down with Daniel to unpack his rollercoaster ride through life. From the adrenaline-pumping world of mixed martial arts to the dark alleys of criminal behavior and addiction, Daniel's story is a testament to human resilience.
Today, he's not just a single father and recovery coach; he's also a motivational speaker and serves on the board of trustees for the Tri-State Trauma Network. But that's not all—Daniel's social media presence is inspiring countless others to find their way out of addiction. You'll hear about his past struggles, the pivotal moments that shaped his recovery, and how faith played a crucial role in his transformation.
Daniel also shares how he created a peer program at a hospital notorious for its stigma against mental health. His story isn't just about overcoming addiction; it's about smashing stigmas and becoming a positive role model for his daughter and the community. One of the most compelling parts of this episode is Daniel's reflection on the importance of honoring effort over outcome. Whether you're on your own recovery journey or supporting someone who is, Daniel's insights will resonate deeply.
So, if you're looking for a story that combines grit, hope, and a touch of inspiration, this episode is for you.
