The Power and the Glory | Arthur White

About this episode

Arthur White shares his journey from addiction and loss to recovery and redemption.

Arthur White had it all - a great wife, healthy kids, a successful business, a villa in Spain - as well as being four-time World Powerlifting Champion. But when someone handed him a pill in the gym to speed his recovery, it was a slippery slope to addiction, infidelity, and losing it all. By all accounts, he should be long dead, but three decades after a remarkable encounter, he’s still fighting fit, (re)married to the same woman, and sharing his story far and wide.
