There are very few things that strapping on your running shoes and heading out for a jog can't help you think through or can't help, you know, find some tranquility and some peace as you go.
What happens when an ultra marathon runner channels his relentless drive into overcoming addiction? In this episode of 'Full Potential, Now!', host Ted Izydor sits down with entrepreneur and endurance athlete Greg Nance. Greg opens up about his struggles with alcohol and drugs, which he initially used to cope with pain and emptiness. These substances, however, led him down a path of academic and personal difficulties.
Greg’s story takes a turn when he discovers running as a powerful tool for his recovery. Setting ambitious goals and embracing the discipline required for ultra marathons, he finds a new sense of peace and balance in life. Greg’s journey is not just about running but also about the importance of honesty, accountability, and shedding the shame and stigma often associated with addiction.
His candid discussion with Ted offers a refreshing perspective on how physical challenges can translate into mental resilience. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking inspiration to tackle their own hurdles and believe in their capacity for change.
