E024: How Taking Ownership Saved My Life with Former Commando & Bestselling Author Chris Thrall

Performance Hackers with Scott Radford

Chris Thrall is a former Royal Marines Commando and International best-selling author of the book Eating Smoke, and he shares with us one of the most incredible life stories we've ever heard.

From the extreme highs of operating in an elite military unit and building a globally successful business to ending up homeless, suffering acute mental illness from crystal meth addiction, and working for the Hong Kong triads, Chris has seen it all.

In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Chris takes us through what rock bottom looked like for him and how he managed to rebuild his life to become Veteran of the Year, an international bestselling author, and an extreme endurance athlete.
He shares his experience of running a 999-mile ultra-marathon with little to no training and raising thousands for charity and awareness for mental health.

Through his journey, Chris offers powerful lessons on resilience, overcoming adversity, and finding a way to rebuild your life from the lowest of places. He also shares his experience of dealing with acute mental illness and addiction and how he was able to find the strength to turn his life around.
