FREDDIE BENNETT:Freddie, an Englishman who now calls New Zealand home, shares his remarkable pivot from life in one fast lane to life in another fast lane. In his old life he was chasing cheap dopamine with copious amounts of alcohol and cocaine. Now he’s leaning into the search for a quality dopamine hit by pushing his body to the limit physically and doing epic s**t. And in the process, becoming a better person and making himself and his family and friends proud which is cool.At the time of recording this, Freddie was preparing to leave NZ to take part in a 5-day 250km running event in the Artic. This involves carrying all the food and equipment he needs to survive, temperatures of -50 and running over frozen lakes and mountains. Very different to the cocaine blizzards Freddie used to experience in his past life in the UK.We talk about the moment in New York where a drug dealer held a gun to Freddie's head, the sudden death of his dad and this impact that had on him, his decision to move to NZ with his family and much more. I hope this episode and Freddie's transformation inspires you to get a little more out of your own life. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
