Craig Whitney's story is one you won't forget. Picture this: a man working in the brutal environment of a slaughterhouse, knee-deep in blood, turning to alcohol and marijuana just to get through the day. That's where Craig started. But after hitting rock bottom and facing a suicide attempt, he managed to turn his life around in a way that's nothing short of remarkable.

In this episode of #FTBD, Coach Neil dives deep into Craig's journey from trauma and addiction to becoming a passionate vegan activist and advocate for mental health. Craig opens up about the horrors of his past job and how it led him down a dark path.

He's now a public speaker, animal rights activist, and a strong proponent of men's circles where guys can openly discuss their feelings and struggles. Craig's transformation is a testament to the power of owning your past and using it as fuel for positive change.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone grappling with mental health issues or addiction, offering not just a story of redemption but practical advice on seeking support and embracing emotional expression.
