Be advised: this episode contains mature subject matter: drugs, addiction, suicide.

At the core of it, this is a deep conversation around mental health. Andrew started his relationship with alcohol at a very young age because he never felt comfortable in his own skin. It eventually almost cost him everything, his wife and ultimately almost his life. During his recovery, Andrew found running to keep his mind occupied and focused on something other than trying not to take another drink. Little did he know that running and a mindfulness practice would turn into a whole new passion where he has even gone on to run ultra marathons. Andrew is now working towards sharing his experience using movement and nature to foster wellness in his new business the Adventure Fitness Cooperative.
