Richard Laskey: Addiction, Death, Daughters & The Grind
Description
In this raw and revealing episode, we sit down with Richard Laskey—endurance athlete, father of five, Director of Modern Athlete Magazine, and relentless charity fundraiser—for an unfiltered look into a life shaped by pain, purpose, and parenting.
From battling personal demons and facing addiction to raising three daughters in a world that doesn’t slow down, Richard opens up about what nearly broke him—and what saved him. We talk about death, recovery, the mental game behind ultra-endurance events like the Comrades Marathon, and the emotional toll and triumph of fundraising for kids fighting cancer.
This is more than just a story about running. It’s about running through—through fear, through failure, and toward something greater.
If you’re navigating hardship, pushing limits, or trying to find meaning in the chaos—this one’s for you.
