S4 Ep13: Ken Rideout On Why Being Tough Does Not Mean Being Fearless

Today’s guest welcomes the tough times as an opportunity to grow. The tougher, in fact, the better.

Ken Rideout is the fastest marathoner in the world over fifty and a former prison guard, Wall Street trader, and opioid addict. His life story has been chronicled in such publications as The New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and Outside. Since getting sober more than a decade ago, he has won some of the world's toughest races, including, at age fifty-two, the Gobi March—a 155-mile, self-supported race across the sweltering Gobi Desert in Mongolia—and a few months later, the Masters (50+) Marathon World Championships. Even though Ken places high value on health and physical fitness, he cuts through the wellness clichés. He’s blunt, practical, often provocative – and his philosophy is backed by lived experience rather than platitudes. Ken lives in Nashville with his wife and their four children.
