Trent Knox - Beating Addiction & The Road to Self Discovery - EP18
Description
Founder of The 440 Run Club and mental-health advocate Trent Knox joins Geoff to explore addiction, sobriety, and how self-discovery begins once you stop running from yourself.
Trent opens up about his five-and-a-half-year journey of sobriety, the pain that led him to rock bottom, and how community, movement, and vulnerability helped him rebuild his life. From numbing with alcohol and drugs to leading one of Sydney’s most inclusive running communities, his story is a powerful reminder that addiction is the opposite of connection — and that healing starts with honesty and small daily habits.
Geoff and Trent dive into men’s mental health, the importance of stillness and structure in recovery, and how physical movement can reconnect us to purpose and self-respect.
What you’ll learn:
- How Trent went from addiction to five years sober
- Why addiction = disconnection, and how to rebuild connection
- The story behind The 440 Run Club and its message “Start in the Dark”
- The power of community, structure, and accountability in recovery
- How movement, meditation, and the ocean became healing rituals
- Why men struggle to ask for help — and how to change that narrative
- The mindset behind running sub-3-hour marathons in his 40s
