The Ripple Effect | Ste Gordon #31

from LikeMinds · host Luis Bulnes

From Selling Drugs to Coaching Champions — Ste Gordon on Prison, Purpose & the Ripple EffectSte Gordon is a kettlebell sport athlete, strength and conditioning coach, and founder of a gym in the Northeast of England that's been running for 17 years. But the path to get there wasn't straightforward. A teenage class clown who dropped out of his apprenticeship, got caught in a cycle of drugs, and ended up sentenced to two and a half years in prison. In this episode, Ste talks about the coach who first changed his life, why sport is one of the last places left where kids can safely learn to fail, how prison became a course correction rather than a dead end, and the ripple effect that's been driving everything he does ever since.
