About this episode

Kori Sampson discusses his journey through sobriety, ultra endurance challenges, and the impact of reality TV on his life.

The moment you realize thousands of young men are watching your every choice, the game changes entirely, and Kori Sampson wouldn’t have it any other way. This conversation goes beyond the miles and into the meaning: why winning the Amazon Games felt strangely hollow, how running 800k across England finally delivered the peace he’d been chasing through drugs, achievements, and external validation for a decade.
