- Today we sat down with Ken and Shelby Rideout for an awesome conversation that left us feeling really motivated! Ken speaks on his struggle with addiction and athletics. Ken is an incredible athlete who didn’t start taking running seriously until his 40’s but has won countless marathons and recently took first place at the Gobi March- a 155-mile, self-supported, 6-day race across the Gobi Desert in Mongolia. His wife, Shelby, is not only supportive of Ken’s athletic endeavors but she herself is inspiring and is a former ASL interpreter and now runs her own children’s learning program. We hope you feel motivated to go out and do something awesome after listening to this episode because we sure did :)

Awwww..."Look at my wife"... I'm the luckiest guy in the 🌍 and I have 4 beautiful children 💓💓💓💓! This couple is couple goals.
Shelby is an angel “we’re you speeding?” 😂😂
Also I’d like to share I used to think I didn’t have any addiction, I don’t drink or do drugs. Until I started to try to lose weight. I used to say I just love sweets and I would like to “spoil” myself I thought. Because as a kid all I ate was cup of noodles. Anyways I realized I had a constant sugar craving that I now realize it’s an actual addiction. Because when I tried to cut the sugar I ha not realized how hard it would be for me. I was constantly craving something sweet. but great podcast. Hope to see ken and Shelby again on here!
Great podcast!! I’ve learned a lot from Ken especially, but also the great questions you asked! His wife was very impressive as well!
Thank you
Shawn YOU are glowing 😊! Great, great podcast. Best podcast you've ever had!!!!!
As an addict in recovery I think parts of this are damaging. Not everyone has to go to meetings and not everyone has to be religious or anything crazy. But addiction is not a moral failing and it can’t be cured by sheer willpower. You have to find some sort of a higher power to help get you through. It sounds like Ken’s is athletics and running. Mine is nature and step work. But to say that addicts are choosing not to get better is very inaccurate. I didn’t want to use drugs anymore but I didn’t know how to stop without crumpling under withdrawals and a horrific depression. I had to find a group of people and something bigger than me to believe in and help guide me through it.
This was SO GOOD!!!! I feel like we just scratched the surface with them. 10/10 if you got to have them on again!!!
Powerful!! Beautiful couple, so honest and forthright!! God bless them!!❤
Pure wisdom in this podcast, loved it❤
Amazing podcast! Really loved this one. Could relate to several topics. Thanks guys!
This was a very good pocast
Great podcast
Really interesting interview!
Just beautiful!!!
Oh, I thought they weren’t together anymore. I thought they secretly split or something. Nothing of her posted on his social media for a long time and he hasn’t worn his wedding ring for a long time, too. Not that you can always judge people by these things, but when you usually previously do and suddenly stop, it’s sus. And sometimes, couples, especially famous ones, they just go out “together” for show, for publicity, or for the “brand”. 🤷🏼♀️
People are inspired by this dude???
Lol you know how it is ppl are addicted to "inspiration." I find them both idiotic and pretentious as well
Why are you telling their story.
