The Skid Row CEO: From Homelessness to a 9,000 km Walk of Transformation
Tuesday, 24 March, 2026
From pushing a shopping cart under a viaduct strung out on heroin to the cover of Canadian Business in less than 12 years. 🛒➡️📈 This week's episode with @https://skidrowceo.com/ isn't a feel-good story—it's a blueprint for human possibility. Here's what hit different: • The 12-Minute Miracle ⏱️ A stranger named Gus sat on a bus bench with Joe and saw what no one else did—not the dirty fingernails or matted hair, but potential. When was the last time someone spoke to YOUR possibility? • The Dirty Dozen 💀 Joe made it 12 years clean... then relapsed. Most don't make it back. He did—with a vigilance that now fuels 19 years of recovery and a framework for lasting change. • AIR Model Breakdown ✈️ Roadblock (what's stopping you?) Inspiration (why push through?) Action (keep feet moving—even when it hurts) That's it. That's the formula. • 9,000 Kilometers of Proof 🚶 At 45, non-athlete Joe walked across Canada pushing a shopping cart through winter storms raising awareness for youth homelessness. Because transformation isn't about being "ready"—it's about being in motion. • Ironman at 56 🏊🚴🏃 When COVID canceled his race, he did it anyway. No excuses. No permission slips. • The Real Talk 🎯 Success didn't cure the depression. Money didn't buy safety. But picking hard things—physical challenges, service, community—built a toolkit that keeps the demons at bay for hours now instead of weeks. Your Move: Tag someone who needs to hear this.
