TheWillpowerPodcast with Will Gordon

Drinking Wasn’t the Problem. Escaping Was.


Listen Later

In this episode of The WillPower Podcast, Chad Dunn shares how he went from chasing adrenaline as a BMX rider to six DUIs, crack addiction, and a 30-month sentence in federal prison.

He opens up about the moment he knew he had to change, how meeting a sober bartender shifted his path, and why losing his freedom—not just his health—was the real rock bottom.

Now sober, he trains pro athletes and lives with purpose every day.

A raw, honest story of hitting bottom and climbing back with clarity.
