Ken Rideout From 10-Year Opioid Addiction to World-Class Athlete (PART 1)

. Ken Rideout has lived a lot of lives—and in this episode, he doesn’t hold anything back. From being a full-blown opioid addict for over a decade while secretly building a high-powered Wall Street career… to becoming one of the fastest marathon runners in the world over 50—his story is as intense as it is inspiring. Ken opens up about growing up around addiction, the moment everything shifted after a simple ankle injury, and how he managed to hide it all—even from the people closest to him. He shares what it actually feels like to live a double life, the mental battle of getting sober, and the moment he knew he had to change everything before becoming a father.
