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.https://racingforrecovery.orgPlease remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.

In this episode we talk to  journalist and author Jonathan Rauch about his book on midlife - The Happiness Curve.  Inspired by his own experience Jonathan looked at research on age and happiness and found it shows that from our 20s into our 40s, happiness follows a well-documented U-shaped trajectory - a "happiness curve", declining from the optimism of youth into what's often a long, low trough in middle age, before starting to rise again in our 50s.The good news is this isn't a midlife crisis, but a chance to embrace becoming a wiser being, shifting priorities away from competition and toward connection, compassion and gratitude. Jonathan is really open about his own journey and offers useful tips to navigate the challenges that arise at the bottom of the curve and find a path through the midlife malaise. The hope is that this conversation helps you feel less alone, ashamed or confused about what’s going on and also hopeful about the possibilities and opportunities that lie ahead.The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better After Midlife: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Happiness-Curve-Better-After-International/dp/1250078806Please remember, if you find the show helpful or it makes you laugh, motivates and inspires you - please do like, share and rate us.
