I've faced death multiple times, man, like coming close to bike accidents, snapping handlebars at k's an hour... If they've never had to work in their life and they've never had to do anything, that can be a rock bottom for them, whereas if you're a struggler who's fought for every dollar, having a steady paycheck is an amazing thing and it's like your high point.
Duncan Burns has lived a life that reads like a gritty novel, filled with childhood trauma, outlaw motorcycle gangs, drug addiction, and even surviving a bullet to the chest. But that's just the beginning of his story. In this episode of '#FTBD (F**K The Black Dog)', Coach Neil sits down with Duncan to unpack his incredible journey from the depths of despair to becoming a beacon of hope for others.
Duncan's life took a turn for the better after hitting rock bottom, and he now dedicates his time to overhauling the youth justice system and working with young men to prevent them from making the same mistakes he did. Through his involvement with men's groups like Black Dog Brotherhood and Brothers Keeper, Duncan aims to provide support and guidance to those who need it most.
He shares his insights on what rock bottom means to different people, emphasizing that everyone's struggles and triumphs are unique. This episode dives deep into the importance of resilience, mental health support, and the transformative power of finding purpose. Duncan's story is not just one of survival but of redemption and hope. It's a powerful reminder that no matter how dark things may seem, there is always a way out.
Whether you're struggling with mental health issues, addiction, or simply looking for inspiration, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to hear Duncan's incredible story and learn about the impact one person can have on the lives of many.
