08/15/23 • 60 min
Imagine your son is going blind from an incurable disease. You're literally racing the clock in hopes of finding a cure, and at the same time, giving him every experience imaginable while he can still see. Steve Johnston is a man on a mission, still working to make a living, fundraising for a clinical trial, being a Dad, and taking on challenges like an IRONMAN to raise money and be an example to his son. This is adversity. This is a Dad vs. Blindness.

Alcoholism and addiction DO NOT DISCRIMINATE! Yankees pitcher, Domingo German, was just placed in an inpatient facility for alcohol abuse. Surprising? Yes. Especially considering he just threw a perfect game a few weeks earlier. A Perfect Game! It's a not so subtle reminder that alcoholism and addiction are not only suffered by the down on his luck guy brown bagging it on the corner. It affects our moms and dads, our neighbors, "successful" business people, and stars on television.

Charlie Engle: Ultra-Endurance Athlete - Keynote Speaker - Incredible Human
It's conversations like this one that remind me how lucky I am to connect with people through this podcast. Charlie is an incredible human with a powerful recovery journey to share, but he's so much more than that. Our time spent talking covered life's interesting paths, humility, character, and the fact that we don't need to get rid of our addictive nature, we need to treat it as the superpower that it is and point it in the right direction. Charlie really let me in and got personal, and offered so much experience and wisdom toward living. What happens to us is far less important than what we do about it.
