Ken Rideout On Why Everything You Want Is On The Other Side Of Hard

Ken Rideout is a masters world champion marathon runner, recovering opioid addict, and the author of the new memoir, “Everything You Want Is on the Other Side of Hard.”

This conversation explores the childhood trauma Ken spent decades outpacing, the addiction that nearly destroyed him, his wife Shelby's cancer battle, and the paradox that the very things that propelled him to extraordinary heights became Achilles heels. We discuss his relentless mindset, the role of pain and suffering in igniting willingness, and why the real obstacle was never the competition.

Along the way, we arrive at a truth familiar to every addict: self-awareness will avail you nothing. It's what you do with it that matters.

Ken is a real one. Enjoy!
