Avoiding discomfort is the biggest mistake in Today's society, you know, because discomfort is what we all relate to and it's how we bond.
Imagine running across the Sahara Desert or climbing ice-covered volcanoes. For Charlie Engle, these aren't just dreams—they're his reality. In this episode of '40,000 Steps Radio', host Christopher Heimerman sits down with Charlie, a man who's not only conquered extreme physical challenges but also battled addiction and spent time in federal prison. Now approaching 30 years sober, Charlie shares his remarkable journey and the universal motto he lives by: 'Comfort is overrated'.
Through his candid storytelling, Charlie opens up about the highs and lows of his life, from the thrill of ultra-endurance races to the struggles of overcoming substance abuse. He talks about the importance of finding joy in the journey, the flaws in the prison system, and how physical activity can be a powerful tool in recovery. This episode is a treasure trove of inspiration for anyone looking to find meaning in their own challenges and push beyond their limits.
Whether you're training for your first 5K or simply seeking motivation, Charlie's story is a testament to the power of resilience and the human spirit.
