The Midlife Mentors S3 Ep172: From Addict To Ironman: Interview with Todd Crandell
Feb 24, 2024
40:13
In this episode we speak to the truly inspiring Todd Crandell.
Todd spent 13-years in the trenches of drug addiction and alcoholism destroying his mind, body and relationships using heroin, cocaine, alcohol and in his words - every prescription drug he could get his hands on. He was homeless and suicidal. But, after his third arrest, he had a moment of clarity and quit his addictions - going cold turkey.
From that point on Crandell took back control of his life. Since sobriety, he's raced over 100 IRONMAN and Ultraman events in 15 countries and six continents. He’s also set up an organisation Racing for Recovery which helps people all over the world overcome addiction through healthy and holistic living — it's a new approach to sobriety and an alternative to the traditional programmes.
Todd is also an author, speaker and filmmaker and we’re sure you’re going to find this episode both enlightening and inspirational.
