E146: Martin Shaw - The Adventure of Getting Sober and Finding a Sense of Purpose in Life

Today, I’m joined by my good friend Martin Shaw, an adventurer and endurance athlete who has embarked on incredible expeditions around the world, including reaching Everest Base Camp. He’s currently training for the Marathon des Sables, a grueling 250km race across the Sahara desert. In this episode, Martin opens up about his journey through addiction, discovering a passion for adventure, and finding purpose in life. We chat about challenges of recovery, the healing power of nature, and the beauty of simplicity. Together, we also explore our mutual love for endurance sports, hiking and the amazing communities that form around them.
