Mitch Ammons didn’t just get sober—he rebuilt his life with relentless grit. In this episode, we unpack his journey from addiction and rehab to becoming an ultra-marathoner, successful real estate agent, and living proof of what’s possible with the Go One More mindset.


Mitch opens up about the lowest points in his life, the power of the 12-step program, and how fitness and community gave him purpose.


This is a story of redemption, discipline, and choosing the hard path forward—every single day.
