Elle Russ chats with Laban Ditchburn - The World’s Best Courage Coach! A child badly affected by divorce and its dysfunction, Laban sought validation and escapism in all the wrong places. But through self-discovery, not being afraid to ask for help and a ton of hard work, he conquered the full gamut of addictions—alcohol, gambling, sex, drugs, and negative self-talk.  Today, he defines the word transformation, having reshaped his body by swapping sixty pounds of body fat with thirty pounds of powerful muscle and bone. He also discovered a simple cure for his “incurable” auto-immune disease in the process. By learning why and then reverse-engineering the root cause of why he needed to escape, giving up his addictions has been almost effortless. Celebrating more than 6 years of sobriety from alcohol (longer for all the other stuff) all without any 12-step program or rehab facilities. 

Until May 11th, 2018,  5KM was the furthest distance that Laban had ever run. But after a huge emotional breakthrough, Laban rapidly progressed to completing his first 100KM ultra-marathon trail run just 16 weeks later. 

Laban has since completed 3 x 100KM efforts, 7 x 50KM, and countless marathons. A self-confessed bio-hacker, Laban also ran a 50km in 2021 on zero sugar. Now physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally in charge of his own destiny, Laban’s journey continues to inspire those ready to change their life.  An exemplar and a revolutionary, he revels in unabashedly sharing what he’s learned: how to conquer the demons you don’t know you have, and how to be unstoppable in getting to where you want to be.  Laban’s internationally acclaimed book “Bet on You” is a “can’t put down” must-read with its raw, real, hilarious, and inspiring message of hope. Known affectionately as The World’s Best Courage Coach, Laban shares his life with his smoking hot wife, the bravest person he knows, and the future mother of their children, Anna!
