Drug Trafficking to Middleweight Champion

In this week's episode Coach Blu Speaks to Ian "The Hurricane" Heinisch. Listen to this powerful story as the Hurricane nickname not only embodies his fighting style but also symbolizes the whirlwind of a journey this young fighter has faced outside of the cage. Heinisch recalled being deported from Canada back to the U.S. while working there illegally. Instead of finding legal work in the states, he ended up getting into the drug trade. Heinisch then left his family and hopped on a Greyhound bus to Indiana. Shortly after arriving in Indiana, Heinsch traveled to New York before ending up in Amsterdam. “New York, to Amsterdam with about 1,000 bucks in my pocket, didn’t know anyone. It was kind of a dream I had to backpack the world and this was kind of the big push that says it’s time to go.”  Ian will absolutely show you that you never give up on what you truly want in life.  Please join Addict to Athlete’s Patreon support page and help us turn the mess of addiction into the message of sobriety! https://www.patreon.com/addicttoathlete For more information on Team Addict to Athlete and Addiction Recovery Podcasts please visit our website. https://www.AddictToAthlete.org
