Ep. #6 - Chris Choi | LGBTQ Triathlete & Designer from Drug-Addict to Triathlon-Addict

Ep. #6 🔥🎙features Chris Choi, a kind, shy, strong and honest - designer, tattoo-enthusiast and LGBTQ triathlete - who has dealt with and overcome multiple challenges of childhood bullying, drug addiction, depression, suicidal thoughts and mental illness. Chris was very open, raw and honest about his experiences and journey, his passion for racing, and how Triathlon has saved his life. This man took up Triathlon only 4 years ago and has already done 6 IMs, 15+ 70.3s, multiple marathons, and even some extreme Triathlons. As he says himself - once an addict, always an addict. But he's been strong and fortunate enough to make that addiction a healthy one. Think it was an insightful and important episode, so please do have a listen and share with friends & family. If we're able to help just ONE person through it, it will have been worth it.
