Feeling hopeless, he came dangerously close to ending his life — but by what he calls a true act of God, the bullet never fired.What followed was a long road of recovery, relapse, and redemption. Today, Kade is clean, reunited with his family, and using fitness as his outlet to stay grounded and fueled by endorphins — not addiction.This episode is proof that rock bottom isn’t the end — it can be the beginning.🎧 Listen now.
