Cocaine, Cancel Culture, and 300 Miles in the Desert | Eli Wehbe

In this bonus episode I sit down with Eli Wehbe for a raw conversation about status, addiction, reinvention, and the cost of living for validation. Eli talks about growing up inp Moreno Valley, breaking into Hollywood nightlife, going from door guy to partner at Warwick, and building relationships with celebrities at the height of LA club culture. He also opens up about the partying, the public fallout that blew up his life, and the decision to disappear from social media and rebuild from scratch. What started as a reset turned into a full obsession: marathons, trail racing, 100-milers, Moab 240, and now a real shot at podiuming Arizona Monster 300. Ken and Eli get into sleep deprivation, fueling, sponsorships, social media, and the mindset it takes to compete in races most people can’t even imagine finishing. This is a conversation about image versus reality, losing the identity you built, and finding something real on the other side of pain.
