In this episode, Don and Joe spend time hanging out with Mark Turnipspeed, author of My Suicide Race and a multi-time Ironman athlete. Mark takes us all through his journey from being sexually abused and the shame that came from it to his struggles with addiction, suicide attempts, and self-denial. A jump in a pool to swim a lap and a chance encounter with a total stranger turned him towards triathlon as a way to become the person that Mark was meant to be. A riveting and totally honest story that we all need to hear.
