Todd lost 45 pounds (20 kilos) — but the journey wasn’t simple. It took burnout, a mental breakdown, and a complete collapse of the life he thought he wanted.
For years, business was easy. Predictable growth, a clear path, and the dream of a multi–seven-figure exit. But chasing the big play with venture capital turned into chaos: 15-hour days, 40 hours without sleep, fast food binges, crippling stress, and a body that finally gave out — ending with a perforated bowel and a hospital bed.
That breaking point forced Todd to reset. He folded his company, took six months off, and rebuilt his health and identity from the ground up.
In this episode, you’ll hear how Todd:
Walked, fasted, and ran his way back to strength
Faced extreme endurance challenges
Used journaling, meditation, and sensory deprivation tanks to quiet his mind
Reconnected with family through hiking and nature
Transformed water into medicine, discipline into freedom, and pain into power
Today, Todd is lighter, stronger, and healthier — physically, mentally, and emotionally. His story is a powerful reminder that sometimes breakdown leads to breakthrough.
