We all have these reservoirs of potential.

You have greater ability than you imagine that you do.

When you are training for an ultra endurance race, it literally strips you down to your core.

You meet yourself as you really are because they really are personal spiritual odisies.

I was somebody who had quite a bit of promise as a young person.

Then comes the introduction to alcohol.

I had a very unhealthy relationship with this substance.

I became quite unwell. I was 50 pounds overweight, semi-depressed, tolerating life.

When I was walking up a simple flight of stairs to go to bed one night, I had tightness in my chest and I had to

pause. In that moment it kind of all became very crystal clear to me that I

needed to change how I was living. I realized there was one thing that I hadn't tried yet, which was going 100% plant

phase.

Within a week to 10 days, I really felt fantastic.

It was bouncing off the walls and I felt like I could keep running and keep running.

I think the great teachable moments come in the failures.

That's your opportunity. Those teachable moments reveal character

and show you who you really are. You're going to.
