Triangle Theory | Self-Development and Mental Health

Addicted, Homeless & Broken - This is How I Rebuilt My Life - Sean Willers - Triangle Theory #043


Listen Later

In this episode of Triangle Theory, we sit down with Sean Willers - a man who went from homelessness, addiction, and self-destruction to discipline, fitness, and purpose.


He opens up about his darkest moments: being homeless at 15, falling into addiction in the DJ scene, and hitting rock bottom after nearly overdosing. But more importantly, he shares how he rebuilt his life through the military, fasting, running, and radical self-responsibility.


This is an honest and inspiring conversation about masculinity, self-awareness, and the power of taking full ownership of your life.
