My special guest star is Mike Bowen, #216 — a former collegiate outdoor leader turned endurance cyclist whose journey from functioning alcoholic to surrendered seeker reshaped his life. After thirteen years of addiction and depression, a July 4th surrender sparked sobriety, urgency, and purpose. Now racing against progressive vision loss, Mike rides across America, documenting resilience through his forthcoming film and book Eyes on the Horizon, proving that forward motion defeats despair.
Mike, I LOVE your honesty — the way you refuse to hide the hard chapters of your story. And I ADMIRE your courage — not just to ride across America, but to confront addiction, vision loss, and fear head-on. You don’t escape life… you ride into it — and then you share it with others. And I’m super HAPPY that you’ve shared your Resilient, Reflective, and Radiant spirit on our show today.
