Ryan Phillips: From Hockey Star to Mental Health Champion

The reality of life- is that you got to be fearless and thorough from the very start, and if you're not, then there's a huge chance that you're not going to make it and you gotta want it and you gotta want it bad.

Imagine being on the brink of a promising hockey career, only to find yourself spiraling into the dark world of drug dealing and imprisonment. That's the incredible story of Ryan Phillips, who joins Dave, Jared, and Mark on 'Off the Rails Recovery' to share his rollercoaster journey. Once a top hockey prospect in the early '90s, Ryan's life took a sharp turn when he became deeply involved in the drug trade.

His candid recounting of those tumultuous years, including his time behind bars, offers a raw and unfiltered look at the challenges he faced. But Ryan's story doesn't end there. After hitting rock bottom, he found a new purpose: advocating for mental health and raising awareness for crucial issues like human trafficking and child sex slavery. He's biked across countries, from Cambodia to North America, to support these causes.

In this episode, Ryan opens up about the importance of addressing mental health in sports and the impact of social media on our well-being. He emphasizes building a strong support system and being fearless in the face of adversity. If you're looking for a story of resilience and transformation, Ryan's journey is a powerful reminder that it's never too late to turn your life around.
