He Was SUICIDAL. Then he RAN ACROSS CANADA| Ep 153

<p>Sachin Latti spent two decades in law enforcement looking, from the outside, like a guy who had it together. On the inside, he was going through a divorce, suicidal, and standing in an empty customs hall at the Vancouver airport when the thought hit him: he didn&#39;t want to die without trying more. He&#39;d never run more than a 5K. Five years later, he&#39;d run over 21,000km, raised over $300,000 for veterans and first responders, and became the first South Asian person to run across Canada, 100km a day for 81 days.</p><p><br></p><p>Takeaways:</p><p>- Discipline transfers. Sachin used the same self-control he&#39;d built in bodybuilding to rebuild his mental health from zero.</p><p>- The right mentor doesn&#39;t tell you what to do. Sachin&#39;s first mentor, a retired special-forces operator, only ever told him what he himself had done.</p><p>- Chasing a record and chasing your actual mission can be two different things. Sachin gave up a shot at the fastest crossing of Canada to talk to more people instead.</p><p>- 5,000 roadside conversations did more for his mission than the finish line did.</p><p>- Ego doesn&#39;t disappear when you get healthy. It just stops being in charge.</p><p>- The hardest part of an 81-day run wasn&#39;t his body. It was five years of training with the pressure of the goal sitting on every single one of them.</p><p>- You don&#39;t need a &quot;big enough&quot; reason to start. Sachin started with a few 5Ks a week.</p>
